A civil offense means an offense against the City of Sylvania set forth in the Sylvania Codified Ordinances made subject to a civil fine by this chapter. Charging a person with a civil offense is an alternative to criminal prosecution. A person may not be charged with a civil offense if that person has been charged with a misdemeanor of the same offense. A person charged with a civil offense may not be arrested for the commission of the offense.
