When a defendant enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, or is convicted, the Municipal Court has the following alternatives which are not mutually exclusive in entering judgment and imposing sentence:

(1) The defendant may be sentenced to pay a fine, to imprisonment, or both, within the minimum and maximum sentence authorized pursuant to this Code.

(2) All or part of the sentence may be suspended, and the defendant placed on probation for a term not longer than one (1) year.

(3) The Court, with the consent of the defendant and the prosecution, may defer judgment and sentence for a term not longer than one (1) year.

(4) The Court may order that the defendant make restitution to the victim of his or her conduct for the actual damage or loss that was sustained. The Court shall fix the manner and time for performance.

(5) The Court may impose additional sentencing orders as deemed reasonable and necessary, as determined in the sole discretion of the Municipal Judge. (Ord. 1002 §21, 2009)
