In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment that any of the costs, fees, miscellaneous charges, or surcharges described in this Section are unconstitutional, unauthorized, or are not to be assessed on cases filed in the municipal divisions of courts of this state, the Clerk of the Municipal Division shall cease collecting such costs, fees, miscellaneous charges, or surcharges so affected.
[R.O. 2012 §140.290; Ord. No. 65 §§1 — 2, 12-12-1978; Ord. No. 548 §1, 6-7-2005]
In any case where the prosecuting witness elects not to prosecute an offense after an Information has been filed by the Prosecuting Attorney and executes a "Refusal to Prosecute" form, an administrative fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) shall be charged to the prosecuting witness to defray actual costs incurred by the City in pursuit of the matter at the original behest of the prosecuting witness. The Clerk of the Court shall send notice to the prosecuting witness of the fee and the due date for payment. Failure to make said payment shall be handled in the same manner as failure to pay a fine as set forth in Section 140.300.
In addition, the costs of any action may be assessed against the prosecuting witness where it appears to the satisfaction of the Municipal Judge that the complaint by the prosecuting witness was made without probable cause or from malicious motives.

Any person violating any of the provisions of this Section shall, upon conviction thereof, be deemed guilty of an ordinance violation and subject to a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500.00), except that the maximum fine permitted in any instance of failing to appear in court as defined in Subsection (A) of this Section shall not exceed the maximum fine permitted for the offense with which the individual had been charged and in respect to which the individual failed to appear, and except that the maximum fine permitted in any instance of the offense of failing to pay a fine, penalty, cost or reimbursement as defined in Subsection (B) of this Section shall not exceed that amount which is equivalent to the total of the fine, penalty, cost and/or reimbursement originally required by the Court. The penalties imposed hereunder shall be in addition to any penalties imposed upon conviction of any other offense and the imposition of a penalty for violation of this Section shall not in any manner diminish the contempt powers of the Court.
[R.O. 2012 §140.320; Ord. No. 236 §1, 7-30-1985]
Every person who shall be committed to any jail or detention facility by lawful authority of the Normandy Municipal Division of the St. Louis County Circuit Court, either before or after trial or conclusion of the proceedings against such person, if he/she shall be convicted, shall bear the expense of carrying him/her to such jail or detention facility and also his/her support while in such jail or detention facility before he/she shall be discharged.

This Section shall not apply to any report, complaint or information made by any officer of the City in discharge of his/her duty.

If a defendant is sentenced to pay a fine or costs and payment of the fine or fine and costs is ordered to be made on an installment basis or on other conditions under the provisions of Section 140.290, and if the defendant is also placed on probation or imposition or the execution of sentence is suspended, the Court may make payment of the fine or fine and costs a condition of probation or suspension of sentence.
[R.O. 2012 §140.360; CC 1975 §16-20]
If a defendant is permitted to pay a fine or fine and costs on an installment basis, or under such other conditions as the Court shall fix under the provisions of Section 140.290, the Court may require as a condition that the defendant be of peace and good behavior until the fine and costs are paid.
[R.O. 2012 §140.370; CC 1975 §16-21]
When any person sentenced to pay a fine or costs defaults in the payment of any such fine or costs or of any installment thereof, the Court may issue a summons for such person to appear before the Court for a hearing on the question of whether such person's failure to pay the fine or costs or any installment was attributable to intentional refusal to comply with the prior order of the Court or to a lack of a good faith effort to comply therewith. The Court may, after hearing, order that the person in default be allowed additional time for payment, may reduce or remit the amount of the fine or the unpaid portion thereof in whole or in part, or upon a finding that the default was intentional or due to the lack of a good faith effort to comply with the prior order of the Court, may order such person confined for such period up to ninety (90) days as the Court in its discretion shall determine.
