The amount of any fee, service charge, utility charge, license,
or tax of any nature whatsoever imposed by this Code or by any other
resolution, ordinance, rule, regulation, or in any other fashion by
the City of Dana Point shall be deemed a civil debt owing to the City.
An action may be commenced in the name of the City in any court of
competent jurisdiction for the collection of the amount of any such
delinquent or unpaid fee, service charge, utility charge, license,
or tax, together with any penalties applicable thereto, as prescribed
by this Code or any other enactment. Such action may also be commenced
for the collection of any other amount or debt determined to be due
the City on account of any contractual obligation or on account of
any tortious act or conduct by any person. The remedy prescribed by
this Section shall be cumulative, and the use of a civil action to
collect such an amount as a debt shall not bar the use of any other
remedy provided by this Code or by law for the purpose of enforcing
the provisions thereof.
