City Code Section
- A. Any civil penalty assessed must be paid in full within the time ordered and under the terms and conditions specified. If the payment is not made or the required conditions are not met, the penalty will become a suspension that will take effect immediately upon the deadline given for payment of the civil penalty. The suspension will remain in effect until the penalty is paid in full and/or the conditions required are met. No new certifications, permits, or renewals will be issued until all penalties are paid.
- B. Unless a specific civil penalty amount is prescribed by any section of this chapter, penalties for specific code and administrative violations are found in the Civil Penalty Table in Section 16.40.930. Any violation of a Code Section that is not found in the Civil Penalty Table and that is not specifically prescribed by a Code Section, but that places an obligation or requirement on a driver or company, will result in an unclassified penalty described in the Civil Penalty Table.
C. The following table outlines the penalties that will be assessed for a violation of the specific Code Sections or Subsections listed:
Violation 1st Offense 2nd Offense 3rd Offense Subsequent Offenses Class A $1,250 $2,500 $5,000 Suspension/Revocation of Certification Class B $1,000 $1,500 $2,500 Suspension/Revocation of Certification Class C $500 $750 $1,000 Suspension/Revocation of Certification Class D $250 $500 $750 Suspension/Revocation of Certification Unclassified $250 $500 $750 Suspension/Revocation of Certification - D. In addition to the civil penalty and the suspension and revocation provisions in Section 16.40.940, any second offense is grounds for suspension of the permit, and any third or subsequent offense is grounds for revocation of the permit.
- E. Offenses are measured by a period of 36 months. Offenses for the same violation that occurs more than 36 months apart from each other are not considered “subsequent” offenses for purposes of them being the “second,” “third,” etc. offense.
- F. Nothing in this section prohibits the Bureau from suspending or revoking any driver, permit, certification, decal, or taxiplate after a third offense for the same violation.
