DEPARTMENTAL TOTALS
Below is a departmental breakdown of the Administrative Civil Penalties totals for the current fiscal year.These
totals are what was used to calculate the Cumulative Total.It should also be noted that payments are an option,
so the collected total does not equal the total awarded.
City Attorney's Office
The majority of the Penalties from the City Attorney's Office are daily fines,therefore, these totals will not be
accurate beyond the date of this memo.
In addition,the Administrative Civil Penalties issued by the City Attorney's Office are labor intensive and require
different time allowances than those by other departments. The number of ACP's issued is far less than the
amount of active cases within the City Attorney's Office.
Total Collected Funds: $983,252.18
Total Awarded by Hearing Officer: $2,024,421.50
Police Denartment
The Penalties issued by the Police Department are typically one time penalties that are issued much like atypical
Police Citation(contact is made and a Penalty is issued),which means that the number of ACP's issued is equal
to the number of active cases.
The Police Department typically uses the Administrative Civil Penalties for Loud Noise violations(parties and
vehicular music)and Mount Vernon Bridge Violations.
Total Collected Funds: $46,222.56
Total Awarded by Hearing Officer: $111,900.00
Code Enforcement
The Penalties issued by Code Enforcement are labor intensive, similarly to the City Attorney's. Code
Enforcement is mostly using the Administrative Civil Penalties when previous remedies are not effective.
Total Collected Funds: $106,072.32
Total Awarded by Hearing Officer: $667,684.00
Fire DeRartment
The Penalties issued by the Fire Department are similar to those issued by the City Attorney's Office,they require
more time to issue and, like Code Enforcement, are issued after previous remedies are not effective.
Total Collected Funds: $34,382.00
Total Awarded by Hearing Officer: $117,485.00
