Sec. B13-42. Response costs.

In addition to the administrative fines set forth in Section B13-41, Responsible Persons shall be liable for response costs the second time that law enforcement responds to a property regarding an underage gathering. When law enforcement, fire, or other emergency response provider responds to an underage gathering at a residence or other private property within the County, after a warning given to a responsible person for an underage gathering, all responsible persons shall be jointly and severally liable for the County's costs of providing for that response and all subsequent responses during the warning period.

When a law enforcement, fire, or other emergency response provider official makes an initial response to an underage gathering at a residence or other private property within the County, the official shall inform any responsible person(s) for the gathering at the scene that:

(a) The official has determined that an underage gathering exists; and

(b) Responsible person(s) will be charged for any response costs required for subsequent responses to the scene for an underage gathering.

Only one warning will be given to a responsible person(s) pursuant to this section before the County assesses the administrative fines and response costs pursuant to Sections B13-38(d), B13-39, B13-41, and this section. If a responsible person cannot be identified at the scene, the official may issue a warning to one or more persons identified in Section B13-38(e) [responsible persons] and/or subsequently return to the residence or other private property and issue the warning to a then-present responsible person. Warnings given to responsible persons who do not reside at the property in question shall be delivered by certified mail.

(Ord. No. NS-637, § 1, 10-14-08, eff. 1-1-09)
