B. Notwithstanding any provision of Chapter 1.16 to the contrary, the city may issue an administrative citation for any violation of this chapter, with a fine amount as set by city council resolution, which fine amount shall be in addition to any recovery of response costs that might be imposed under Section 9.32.070.

C. Any second (2nd), third (3rd) or subsequent violations of this chapter are payable whether or not the responsible person for such loud or unruly gathering is different from the responsible person for any prior loud or unruly gathering at the residence or other private property.
