(A) Violations. It shall be an infraction for a responsible person to conduct or allow a loud or unruly gathering on premises owned by the responsible person or on premises rented by or to the responsible person or on public property where the responsible party is the permittee. A third or subsequent violation within a 12-month period shall constitute a misdemeanor.
(B) Fines. The City Council, by resolution, shall establish civil penalties for:
(1) A first violation;
(2) A second violation occurring at the same private property within one year of the first cited violation; and
(3) A third and any further violation occurring at the same private property within one year of the first cited violation.
(C) Other charges. The fines prescribed at division (B) are in addition to any other special security service charges that may be assessed pursuant to this Chapter 6.80.
(D) Application of subsequent fines. The second, third or subsequent violation fines prescribed at division (B) above are payable whether or not the responsible person at the time of the current loud or unruly gathering is the same person who was the responsible person for any prior loud or unruly gathering at those premises.
(E) Warning period. The fine schedule prescribed at division (B) above is a “rolling schedule” meaning that in calculating the fine payable the Police Department or City Attorney shall count backward starting from the date of the most recent loud or unruly gathering to determine how many prior loud or unruly gatherings have taken place at the premises in question during the statutory 12-month period. A warning given pursuant to § 6.80.040 shall remain in effect for the premises at a given address until a full 12-month period has elapsed during which there have been no loud or unruly gatherings at those premises.
