A defendant in Municipal Court who does not prevail shall pay all court costs and assessments imposed by State law. The City Council may set the amount of court costs by Council resolution. Payment of the full amount of costs and assessments is required of any defendant who does not prevail. Costs and assessments are in addition to any fine or penalty imposed by the court. The City may require payments of costs and assessment prior to hearing, and refund the costs and assessment if the defendant prevails. The City Council may adopt nonrefundable fees by resolution to cover administrative costs and costs associated with program supervision by the court. [Ord. NS-2159, 2011]
