A. When a social gathering occurs at a premises and a police officer at the scene determines that there is a violation of this chapter, the person(s) in charge of the premises and the person(s) responsible for the event, or if any of those persons are minors, then the parent(s) or guardian(s) of those minors, will be held jointly and severally liable for the cost of providing police personnel on special security assignment over and above the services normally provided by the department to respond to such events. First time violators will be warned; upon subsequent violations of the provisions of this chapter, the police personnel utilized during a second response after the first warning to control the threat to the public peace, health, safety or general welfare shall be deemed to be on special security assignment over and above the services normally provided.

B. No fee shall be assessed unless a written warning has been issued by police personnel during the first response.

C. The expense of services provided by special security assignment officers may be charged against the property owner and/or person liable for the expenses under this section. The charge constitutes a debt of that property owner and person to the city, jointly and severally, and is collectible by said city in the same manner as in the case of an obligation under a contract, express or implied.
