This charge shall be deemed to be the amount of the actual loss to the city and shall be construed merely as a charge to restore or replace the public property. It shall not be considered a fine or to preclude the assessment of a fine in any criminal proceedings for the punishment of any offender guilty of and liable for the damage or destruction.
