1994 Alaska Statutes
TITLE 29 MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT
Chapter 29.25. MUNICIPAL ENACTMENTS
Sec. 29.25.070. PENALTIES.
(a) For the violation of an ordinance, a municipality may by ordinance prescribe a penalty not to exceed a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment for 90 days. For a violation that cannot result in incarceration or the loss of a valuable license, a municipality may allow disposition of the violation without court appearance and establish a schedule of fine amounts for each offense.
(b) The municipality or an aggrieved person may institute a civil action against a person who violates an ordinance. In addition to injunctive and compensatory relief, a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 may be imposed for each violation. An action to enjoin a violation may be brought notwithstanding the availability of any other remedy. On application for injunctive relief and a finding of a violation or a threatened violation, the superior court shall grant the injunction. Each day that a violation of an ordinance continues constitutes a separate violation.
(c) The penalties authorized under this section may be imposed only if copies of the ordinance are made available for distribution to the public at no more than cost.
(d) This section does not apply to an ordinance adopted under AS 04.11.498(d) or (e).
