Unless otherwise provided, any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this code shall upon conviction thereof be fined in any sum not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500) or be imprisoned in the city jail for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days, or both such fine and imprisonment. [Prior code § 8.44.010.]

1.08.020 Penalty surcharge authorization and collection.

The surcharge required to be imposed pursuant to AS 12.55.039 is authorized and shall be imposed as a surcharge on penalties imposed for the violation of an ordinance, code provision, or regulation of the city brought under a citation or criminal complaint that would require a proceeding in the Alaska Court System if the defendant were to enter a plea of not guilty. The court may impose and collect the surcharge on all penalties imposed by the court where fines and bail forfeitures are paid to the court. For all criminal proceedings in which the fine or bail forfeiture is collected by the city, the surcharge imposed shall be collected by the city with the payment of the fine or forfeited bail and regularly paid over to the appropriate agency of the state less any collection and administration fee or reimbursement authorized by the state to be retained by the city. [Ord. 98-21 § 2.]
