A. Authorization And Administrative Fee: Except as provided in WWCC Title 5 Chapter 1, the City may collect an administrative fee from each prisoner found guilty of violating a City Code or ordinance provision, sentenced to confinement in the County or City jail, including a prisoner sentenced as a condition of probation, whose sentence is served intermittently on days other than his regular days of employment. The amount of the fee must be set at twenty five dollars ($25.00) for each day served. A prisoner serving such a sentence shall pay toward the fee according to his ability to pay, as determined by the Municipal Court Judge.
B. Conditions And Payment: The Municipal Court, if it grants the application of a defendant to serve his sentence intermittently, shall:
1. Establish the conditions of the intermittent sentence; and
2. Direct whether the fee is to be paid weekly or monthly. In either case, the fee must be paid for each period until the sentence has been served and the entire amount of the administrative fee has been paid by order of the Municipal Court.
C. Disposition Of Fees: Fees received pursuant to this Section must be deposited in the City Treasury for disposition as established by resolution of the City Council.
D. Failure To Pay: If a prisoner fails to pay the fee, the City Council may apply to the Court for judgment for the arrears and the amount to accrue. The judgment may be enforced by execution but not as contempt of Court.
E. Modification Of Fee Order: During the pendency of an intermittent sentence, the defendant may petition the Court to modify or vacate the order to pay the administrative fee on the ground that his ability to pay has changed. The Court shall inform the defendant of the right to petition to modify or vacate when the judgment is rendered. (Ord. 92-2, 4-7-1992; amd. Ord. 2022-02, 12-6-2022)
