4.16.010 SALVAGE TITLE FEES.

(A) Whenever a police officer with the Southport Police Department performs an inspection of a salvage vehicle in accordance with Title 9 of the Indiana Code, a $5 inspection fee shall be collected for each vehicle inspected (“salvage inspection fee”).

(B) In the event an officer travels to a location other than the headquarters of the Southport Police Department to perform a salvage vehicle inspection, an additional off-site travel charge (“off-site salvage inspection travel charge”) shall be collected as a reasonable charge for the expenditure of the Department’s resources and officer’s time to travel to the off-site location for the related inspection. The off-site salvage inspection travel charge shall be $20 if the inspection location is within Perry Township, $25 if the inspection location is outside Perry Township but within Marion County or Johnson County, and $35 if the inspection location is outside both Marion County and Johnson County. The off-site salvage inspection travel charge shall be due each time an officer travels to a location other than the headquarters of the Southport Police Department for a requested salvage vehicle inspection regardless of whether a salvage vehicle is actually present to be inspected; and if a salvage vehicle is not present to be inspected as requested, the inspecting officer may leave the inspection location immediately, and the off-site salvage inspection travel charge shall still be due. A person requesting a salvage vehicle inspection to be performed at a location other than the headquarters of the Southport Police Department may be required to pay the off-site salvage inspection travel charge and salvage inspection fee in advance.

(C) The Police Department shall forward the salvage inspection fee and the off-site salvage inspection travel charge, if any, to the City Clerk-Treasurer, who shall deposit it into the Law Enforcement Continuing Education Fund.

4.16.020 FINGERPRINT FEES.

(A) Whenever the Southport Police Department, for an employment application, a bar application or other purposes (but not part of the booking process), fingerprints an individual, an administrative fee of $15 shall be collected from the individual being fingerprinted.

(B) The Police Department shall forward this administrative fee to the City Clerk-Treasurer, who shall deposit it into the Law Enforcement Continuing Education Fund. (Ord. 12.12.02 §§ 1, 2, passed 12-17-2012; Am. Ord. 14.05.01 § 1, passed 5-19-2014; Am. Ord. 4-16, passed 6-20-2022)
