8.12.100 Civil Penalty.
The monetary penalty for each day or part thereof the public nuisance is permitted to continue after the date set for abatement by the enforcement officer shall be as follows:
1. First day: $100.00
2. Second day: $200.00
3. Third day: $300.00
4. Fourth day: $400.00
5. Each additional day beyond four days: $500.00 per day.
Payment of the monetary penalty pursuant to this chapter does not relieve the person to whom the notice of abatement was issued of the duty to correct the public nuisance. The monetary penalty constitutes a personal obligation of the person to whom the notice of abatement is issued. Any monetary penalty assessed must be paid to the City within ten (10) calendar days from the date set by the enforcement officer for abatement of the nuisance. The City attorney or his/her designee is authorized to take the appropriate action to collect the monetary penalty, plus reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit incurred in collecting the monetary penalty. (Ord. 1720, §10, 2013).
