General penalty. All defendants subsequently found liable of a violation shall be subject to the following penalties, or combination thereof:

(1)

Fines;

(2)

Restitution;

(3)

Deferred prosecution (including, but not limited to, a period of community service, and mandatory attendance at remedial counseling, treatment, or education); and

(4)

Corrective action.

(b)

Fines. When a specific fine amount is provided for in Table 1 of this section that conflicts with fine amounts imposed either by the general penalty provisions of this Code or a specific fine amount provided in other portions of this Code, the fine amounts in Table 1 of this section shall apply. If there is no fine amount provided for in Table 1 of this section for a Violation, then the specific fine amount in the other provisions of this Code shall apply, or if no specific fine amount in this Code is provided for then the fine amounts of the general penalty shall apply.

(c)

Late penalty.

(1)

Wherever in this article a fine that is imposed is not paid in the timeframe required by this article or by the deadline imposed by a hearing officer after a hearing or settlement, there shall be a late penalty which shall be in addition to the original fine amount as follows:

For a violation where the minimum fine is less than $50.00, the minimum fine shall be increased by $50.00.

For a violation where the minimum fine is $50.00 or greater, but less than $100.00, the minimum fine shall be increased by $100.00.

For a violation where the minimum fine is $100.00 or greater, the minimum fine shall be increased by $200.00.

(2)

In the event that the fine, costs and late penalty amounts, as applicable, are not made within 30 days after the time required to make sure payment, the village's collection of said fines, costs and late penalty shall be deemed a debt due and owing to the village and may be referred to a private collection agency under contract with the village. The collection agency's fees shall be added to the unpaid amounts and shall be collected by the collection agency.

(d)

Costs. All defendants subsequently found liable, or otherwise avail themselves of deferred prosecution, shall pay a $50.00 administrative adjudication cost, in addition to any penalty imposed. Costs for deferred prosecution may be reduced in the manner provided for in this chapter.

(e)

Prepayment of fines and required appearance.

(1)

The following defendants must appear before the hearing officer and may not pay the fine amount prior to such appearance:

Any defendant under the age of 21 charged with a violation must appear before the hearing officer in person. Any defendant under the age of 18 years charged with a violation must appear before the hearing officer in person and with a parent or legal guardian;

Any defendant charged with a violation where "Appearance Required" in Table 1 of this section is marked "Yes";

Any defendant that has not settled, compromised and paid the fine amount listed in the "Settlement Amount Paid Prior to Hearing" in Table 1 of this section at least 24 hours prior to the hearing date provided on the violation notice;

Any defendant charged with a violation where a fine is not provided for in Table 1 of this section; and

Any authorized village employee may require appearance of a defendant by marking such requirement upon the violation notice.

(2)

Except for those defendants not authorized from doing so pursuant to this section and those non-residents charged with parking, standing and equipment violations, any violation listed in the "Settlement Amount Paid Prior to Hearing" in Table 1 of this section may be settled by a defendant, upon the submission of payment of the listed minimum fine paid 24 hours prior to the assigned hearing date on the violation notice. Such pre-payment settlement shall not be subject to costs.
