[R.O. 2016 § 130.440; CC 1994 § 6.915]
A. 
Upon a plea of guilty, finding of guilt or conviction for violation of the provisions of Sections 340.120 and Chapter 342 of the Municipal Code for the City of Park Hills involving alcohol- and drug-related traffic offenses, the Court may, in addition to imposition of any penalties provided by law, order the person to reimburse law enforcement authorities for the cost associated with such an arrest.
1. 
Such cost shall include the reasonable costs of making the arrest, including the cost of any chemical test to determine the alcohol or drug content of the person's blood, and the cost of processing, charging, booking and holding such a person in custody.
2. 
Law enforcement authorities may establish a schedule for such costs for the submission to the Court and request for approval of reimbursement; however, the Court may at its discretion order the cost reduced if it determines that the schedule cost is excessive after considering the circumstances of the case or for good cause shown why the cost should be reduced or eliminated totally.
3. 
The fees shall be collected as additional costs by the Municipal Court and shall be collected by the Court in the same manner as other costs and fees are collected and remitted to the City Treasurer.
