MEMORANDUM
TO:
Scott Botcher, City Manager
FROM: Todd Gerhardt, Asst. City Manager
DATE:
SUB J:
May 9, 2001
Approval of a Resolution Modifying Fine Schedules for
Misdemeanor Violations
Attached is the fine schedule for misdemeanor violations in the City. The
City Attorney and staff reviewed the violations and felt that some fines should
be modified. The list also includes several new fines for ordinances that have
been adopted since the previous schedule was established. All fee schedules
are adopted by resolution rather than a City Code amendment (to avoid costly
codification charges).
Establishment of these fees gives violators two options:
1. Pay the fine and not go to court; or
.
Make a court appearance and risk haVing the judge rule on the
misdemeanor offense and determine a fine that could range anywhere
from zero dollars up to $1,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the attached fine schedule.
