When the city's police department responds to the scene of a possible violation of Section 9.28.010 or 9.28.020, and the peace officer at the scene has reasonable cause to believe that there is a violation of this chapter then the peace officer shall notify the owner of the property and/or the person in charge of the property where the noise exists and/or the person responsible for the noise, that such person or persons, or in the case of a minor, the parents and/or guardians of such minor, may be personally liable for the costs associated with a special security assignment. A special security assignment is a response by the city's police department to the scene of a violation of Sections 9.28.010 or 9.28.020 over and above ordinary law enforcement services. The first (1st) response to the scene of a violation of Section 9.28.010 or 9.28.020 within a 24 hour period constitutes ordinary law enforcement services. A second (2nd) or subsequent response within the 24 hour period following the first (1st) response to the same location for the same purpose and involving the same perpetrator constitutes a special security assignment.

Upon conviction of a violation of Section 9.28.010 or 9.28.020, the convicted person shall be responsible to pay the special security assignment fee. For the purpose of this section a convicted person shall mean any person pleading guilty, or nolo contendere, or found guilty by a court of law of a violation of Section 9.28.010 or 9.28.020. A letter will be sent to the convicted person requiring payment to the city of the special security assignment fee. Said fee shall be due within 30 days of the issuance of the letter. Should said person fail to pay the special security assignment fee within the 30 days, the city may take appropriate action to recover the fee. Should a court action be initiated to recover the fees, the convicted person will be responsible to pay the special security assignment fee, administrative costs, and any legal and staff costs incurred.
