(A) The Beer Board may, at the time it imposes a revocation or suspension, offer a permit holder that is not a responsible vendor the alternative of paying a civil penalty not to exceed $2,500 for each
offense of making or permitting to be made any sales to minors, or a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 for any other offense.
(B) The Beer Board may impose on a responsible vendor a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 for each offense of making or permitting to be made any sales to minors, or for any other offense.
(C) If a civil penalty is offered as an alternative to revocation or suspension, the holder shall have seven days within which to pay the civil penalty before the revocation or suspension shall be imposed. If the civil penalty is paid within that time, the revocation or suspension shall be deemed withdrawn. Payment of the civil penalty in lieu of suspension or revocation by a permit holder shall be an admission by the holder of the violation so charged and shall be paid to the exclusion of any other penalty that the city may impose.
