(A) The following fees are hereby authorized to allow the magistrate court to impose and collect fees and allocate charges to defendants who incur them. The amount of each fee to be charged shall be determined by resolution of the city council and shall be in addition to fees otherwise assessable by statute:

(B) A person who is convicted of a misdemeanor criminal offense in the magistrate court and who is sentenced to a term of incarceration in a county jail, or other detention facility authorized by law, shall pay a jail cost recovery fee to reimburse the city for its actual expenses incurred by reason of such confinement.

(C) A judge or hearing officer may waive part or all of any of the fees imposed pursuant to this section upon a finding that the defendant is indigent, it would cause substantial financial hardship to the defendant or the defendant’s immediate family, or if such waiver would be in the interests of justice.

(D) A person who fails to fulfill his obligation to pay to the court any fines, sanctions, restitution, surcharges, assessments, or any other fees authorized herein, shall be liable for any costs associated with collection of those obligations to the court, including, but not limited to, any fees and charges of a licensed collection agency that may be retained by the city to collect those monies, and any attorney’s fees or costs incurred by the city or its agents in its efforts to collect unpaid amounts.
