§2060. Penalty
A. Any collecting person who fails to collect any assessment or remit any assessment collected, to the council, within the time required by this Part, may be assessed a civil penalty of up to five hundred dollars for each violation plus all reasonable costs. Reasonable costs may be deemed to include the amount of the assessments remaining uncollected where it is determined that the noncollection of the assessment was caused by the collecting person. Each day on which a violation occurs shall be considered a separate offense. The penalty shall be paid to the council and shall be disposed of in the same manner as funds derived from the payment of the assessment imposed herein.
B. Any determination of civil penalties and reasonable costs shall be made by an adjudicatory hearing held in accordance with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act.
