[Adopted 12-15-1998 by Ord. No. 98-11-238 (Ch. 1, Art. I, §§ 1-10
through 1-13, of the 1977 Code)]
[Amended 8-10-2011]
Whenever in this Code, or in any ordinance, resolution or motion
of the County, any act or omission is prohibited or is made or declared
to be unlawful or an offense, or whenever in the Code or ordinance,
resolution or motion the doing of any act or the failure to do any
act is declared to be unlawful or an offense or is prohibited and
no specific penalty is provided therefor, and state law does not provide
otherwise, the violation of any such provision of this Code or any
ordinance, resolution or motion shall be an offense punishable by
a fine of up to $1,000. Unless specifically provided otherwise, or
the context thereof so dictates, each day any violation of any provision
of this Code or any ordinance, resolution or motion shall continue
shall constitute a separate offense.
No provision of this Code designating the duties of any County
officer or employee shall be construed so as to make such officer
or employee liable for any fine or penalty provided in this Code for
a failure to perform such duty, unless the intention of the County
Board to impose such a fine or penalty on such officer or employee
is specifically and clearly expressed in the section creating the
duty.
In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is
created by different clauses or sections of this Code, the prosecuting
officer may proceed under both, but not more than one recovery shall
be had against the same person for the same offense, provided that
the revocation of a license or permit shall be considered a recovery
or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
A.
In addition to assessing a fine as provided in § 1-11 of this Code, a period of court supervision may be imposed by the court. The period of supervision shall be reasonable under all of the circumstances of the case, but may not be longer than one year.
B.
When the defendant is placed on court supervision, the court shall
enter an order or make a docket entry for supervision specifying the
period of such supervision, and shall defer further proceedings in
the case until the conclusion of the period. The court shall defer
entering any judgment on the charge(s) until the conclusion of the
supervision.
C.
At the conclusion of the period of supervision, if the court determines
that the defendant has successfully complied with all of the conditions
of supervision, the court shall discharge the defendant and enter
a judgment dismissing the charges. Discharge and dismissal upon a
successful conclusion of a disposition of supervision shall be deemed
without adjudication of guilt and shall not be termed a conviction
of a crime.
D.
The disposition of court supervision may be modified or revoked as
provided by 730 ILCS 5/5-6-4 and 5/5-6-4.1, as amended, which are
hereby adopted and incorporated herein by reference.
