Violations shall be prosecuted as a Class B misdemeanor and, upon conviction, subject to penalty as provided in section 1-4-1. The violator may not only be subject to a fine but shall make restitution to the city. Restitution shall be a payment to the city in an amount commensurate with the value of damage to the tree as measured by the International Society of Arboriculture Tree and Shrub Valuation Guidelines. The city shall then proceed to replace the tree or take such other remedial steps as may be best calculated to offset the loss occasioned by the violation. A current copy of the International Society of Arboriculture Tree and Shrub Valuation Guidelines, as amended from time to time, shall be retained for public use at all times in the office of the city recorder.
