9.10A.060 Penalties.
A. Except as provided in this section, in addition to any other sanction or remedial procedure that may be available, the person in charge is subject to a daily civil penalty from the date of the notice issued pursuant to BCC 9.10A.040 until the chief of police confirms that the property is no longer a chronic nuisance property as follows:
1. First day of each violation, $100.00;
2. Second day of each violation, $200.00;
3. Third day of each violation, $300.00;
4. Fourth day of each violation, $400.00;
5. Each additional day of each violation beyond four days, $500.00 per day.
B. If the agreed course of action results in the abatement of nuisance activities to the satisfaction of the chief of police within 30 days of the notice issued pursuant to BCC 9.10A.040, or such longer period allowed by the chief of police in writing, the matter shall be closed without further action or penalty against the person in charge.
C. A person in charge who has previously been found to have violated this chapter related to the same chronic nuisance property within the preceding two years shall be subject to double the penalties provided in subsection A of this section.
D. The monetary penalty constitutes a personal obligation of the person in charge. Any monetary penalty assessed must be paid to the city within 10 calendar days from the date of mailing of the hearing examiner’s decision or a notice from the city that penalties are due. The city attorney or her designee is authorized to take appropriate action to collect the monetary penalty. The person in charge is not relieved of the duty to correct the violation by paying the penalty associated with such violations. (Ord. 6157 § 1, 2014.)
