 Title 1. General Provisions
 Chapter 1.13. Administrative Fines

  § 1.13.80. Administrative fine  

Latest version.

  • A. Amount. Fines shall be assessed in the amounts specified by resolution of the City Council, or where no amount is specified:

    1. A fine not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100.00) for a first violation;

    2. A fine not exceeding two hundred dollars ($200.00) for a second violation of the same ordinance or permit within one year from the date of the first violation;

    3. A fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each additional violation of the same ordinance or permit within one year from the date of the first violation.

    4. The fine amounts for infractions set forth in subsection B of Section 1.12.010(B) of the Yorba Linda Municipal Code shall not apply to this chapter and shall in no way limit the amounts which may be imposed for administrative fines.

    B. Continuing Violation. Each and every day during any portion of which any municipal ordinance violation is committed, continued, or permitted shall constitute a separate offense.

    C. Payments. If the offender does not make a timely request for a hearing, he or she must pay the administrative fine payable directly to the City of Yorba Linda within fifteen (15) working days from the date the administrative citation is issued. Payment of a fine shall not excuse or discharge the failure to correct the violation(s) nor shall it bar further enforcement action by the City.

    D. No Waiver. Under no circumstances shall the payment of the administrative fine constitute a waiver of the offender's right to a hearing. Therefore, an offender may pay the administrative fine within the fifteen (15) working day period and also obtain a hearing to protest the imposition of the administrative fine, provided that the offender makes a timely request for a hearing.

    E. Obligation to Correct Violation. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to mean that because an offender has paid the administrative fine that he or she is not required to correct the municipal ordinance violation. If the offender fails to correct the violation(s), subsequent administrative citations may be issued for the same violation(s). The amount of the fine for failure to correct the violation shall increase at a rate specified in this chapter or by ordinance.
