A. In accordance with AS 29.25.070(a), citations for which a fine has been clearly identified may be disposed of as provided in AS 12.25.195 through 12.25.230, without a court appearance, upon payment of the fine amounts listed plus the state surcharge required by AS 12.55.039 and 29.25.074. Fines must be paid to the court. The Rules of Minor Offense Procedure in the Alaska Rules of Court apply to all offenses. Citations charging these offenses must meet the requirements of Minor Offense Rule 3. If an offense is not listed on a fine schedule, or has no fine amount, the defendant must appear in court to answer to the charges. Fines may not be judicially reduced.

B. If a person charged with one of these offenses appears in court and is found guilty, the penalty imposed for the offense may not exceed the fine amount for that offense plus surcharges. [Ord. 18-06 § 2.]
