Except as provided for in subsection B, whenever in this Code or in any other ordinance of the city or in any rule, regulation or order promulgated by any officer or agency of the city under authority duly vested in him or it, any act is made or declared to be unlawful or an offense or a misdemeanor, or the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful or an offense or a misdemeanor, where no specific penalty is provided for, the violation of any such provisions of this Code or any other ordinance or any such rule, regulations or order shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000.00 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment, providing, however, that any such violation constituting a misdemeanor under this Code may, in the discretion of the city Attorney, be charged and prosecuted as an infraction.
B. 
Whenever in this Code or in any other ordinances of the city or in rule, regulation or order promulgated by any officer or agency of the city under authority duly vested in him or it, any act or failure to do any act is declared to be an infraction, the violation of such provision of this Code or other ordinance of the city or such rule, regulation or order shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100.00 for a first violation; $200.00 for a second violation of the same provision within any 12 consecutive-month period.

Every day any violation of this Code or any other ordinance of the city or such rule, regulation or order shall continue shall constitute a separate offense.

Administrative Citation. Upon a finding by the City official vested with the authority to enforce the various provisions of this Code that a violation exists, an Administrative Citation may be issued under the provisions of Section 1.13 of the Yorba Linda City Code.
(Prior code § 1-7; Ord. 2000-818, § 2, 2000)
A. 
The city council hereby imposes a fee, in an amount to be set from time to time by the city council, upon each person, firm, corporation or other entity who receives a notice of violation of the Yorba Linda Municipal Code and fails to abate such violation within the time set forth in the notice of violation, causing the Code enforcement officer or a duly authorized representative to conduct multiple inspection of the property.
B. 
This fee shall not be assessed for the first inspection after the notice of violation is issued whether or not the violation is abated at that time.
C. 
The fee shall be assessed for each subsequent inspection of the property until the violation is abated to the satisfaction of the Code enforcement officer or a duly authorized representative.
D. 
The fee is intended to compensate the city for the administrative costs incurred by multiple inspections of the property and not for enforcement of the law. Any fees imposed shall be separate and apart from any fines or penalties imposed for violation of the law.
(Prior code § 1-15; Ord. 90-660 § 1, 1990)
A. 
If any person is arrested for the violation of this Code or any other ordinance of the city, and the person is not immediately taken before a magistrate, as is more fully set forth in the Penal Code of the state, the arresting officer shall prepare, in duplicate, a written notice to appear in court, containing the name and address of the person, the offense charged and the time and place where and when the person shall appear in court.
B. 
The time specified in the notice to appear shall not be less than ten days after the arrest.
C. 
The place specified in the notice to appear shall be one of the following:
1. 
Before a judge of a justice court; or
2. 
A municipal court judge within the county who has jurisdiction of the offense and who is nearest and most accessible with reference to the place where the arrest is made.
(Prior code § 1-9; Ord. 90-650 § 1, 1990)
The officer arresting a person pursuant to Section 1.12.030 shall deliver one copy of the notice to appear to the arrested person and the arrested person, in order to secure a release, shall give his or her written promise so to appear in court by signing the duplicate notice, which shall be retained by the officer. Thereupon, the arresting officer shall forthwith release the person arrested from custody.
(Prior code § 1-10)
Every person wilfully violating his or her written promise to appear in court is guilty of a violation of this Code, regardless of the disposition of the charge upon which he or she was originally arrested.
(Prior code § 1-11)
The officer arresting a person pursuant to Section 1.12.030 shall, as soon as practicable, file a duplicate notice to appear with the magistrate specified in the notice. The defendant may, prior to the date upon which he or she promised to appear in court, deposit with the magistrate the amount of bail set by the magistrate. Thereafter, at the time when the case is called for arraignment before the magistrate, if the defendant [defendant] does not appear, either in person or by counsel, the magistrate may declare the bail forfeited and may at his or her discretion order that no further proceedings shall be had in the case. Upon the making of the order that no further proceedings be had, all sums deposited as bail shall forthwith be paid into the county treasury.
(Prior code § 1-12)
A. 
A warrant shall not issue for the arrest of a person who pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.12.030 has given such written promise to appear in court unless and until he or she has violated such promise, or has failed to deposit bail, to appear for arraignment, trial or judgment to comply with the terms and provisions of the judgment as required by law.
B. 
When a person signs a written promise to appear at the time and place specified in the written promise to appear and has not posted bail as provided in Section 1.12.060, the magistrate shall issue and have delivered for execution a warrant for his or her arrest within 20 days after his or her failure to appear as promised. If a person promises to appear before an officer authorized to accept bail other than a magistrate and fails to do so on or before the date which he or she promised to appear, then within 20 days after the delivery of the written promise to appear by the officer to a magistrate having jurisdiction over the offense, the magistrate shall issue and have delivered for execution a warrant for his or her arrest. When such person violates his or her promise to appear before an officer authorized to receive bail other than a magistrate, the officer shall immediately deliver to the magistrate having jurisdiction over the offense charged the written promise to appear and the complaint, if any, filed by the arresting officer.
(Prior code § 1-13)
In all cases of conviction for the violation of any provisions of this Code or any ordinance of the city or any rule, regulation or order promulgated pursuant thereto, the person so convicted, when the sentence includes imprisonment, shall be imprisoned in the city or county jail for the period prescribed in the sentence.
(Prior code § 1-8)
