197-2 shall be held responsible for a civil infraction. Persons found responsible for violation of a civil infraction (whether minor or parent) shall be responsible for a judgment in a sum not to exceed $100, plus costs, for a first offense and not to exceed $200, plus costs, for any subsequent offense. Persons found responsible who have failed to pay any civil infraction judgment may be withheld any license or permit to be issued by the City or may be withheld any recommendation for issuance of a permit or license where the authority the City is to recommend. Any judgment unpaid pursuant to this provision may be added to the tax rolls for responsible parties against whom judgments have entered and collected in the same manner as ad valorem real property taxes with the same interest and penalties and other provisions provided for the collection of ad valorem real property taxes.
