§ 21-307. Imposition of civil cost recovery fee for public safety responses.

The requirement of a first warning in subsection 21-306(3)d. does not limit the ability of public safety personnel to issue a civil citation for the imposition of civil penalties for cost recovery on the same day that the warning is given if the warning does not end the gathering involving underage drinking. The cost recovery for public safety responses shall be separate and distinct from a civil penalty for a civil violation described in section 21-306.

(1)

The amount of cost recovery under this subsection shall be the response costs.

(2)

The city police department shall develop a schedule of costs for use in determining response costs subject to this article.

(3)

If there is more than one responsible person for the gathering then each responsible person shall be jointly and severally liable for the civil penalty and/or for the costs incurred for public safety services pursuant to this article.

(4)

Civil cost recovery fee(s) shall not be imposed for the medical response costs in those situations where those present at the gathering call for emergency services for an actual emergency at the premises.
