1.12.011 - Penalty for violations—Infractions.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.12.010, the city prosecutor, in his or her sound discretion, may prosecute certain violations of this code or other ordinances of the city as an infraction, rather than as a misdemeanor, or may reduce a misdemeanor offense to an infraction if a defendant does not object. The city prosecutor shall have such authority where specifically provided in this code or in such other ordinance. Every person convicted of an infraction for violation of this code or other city ordinance shall be punished upon a first conviction by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars, and for a second conviction within a period of one year by fine not exceeding two hundred dollars, and for a third or any subsequent conviction within a period of one year by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars.
