The Aleut Community of St. Paul Island finds that many minor errors in behavior or practice can be appropriately remedied by the imposition of civil money penalties. The establishment of a system of civil infractions is a more expeditious and less expensive method of remedying minor errors and will decrease the cost and workload of the St. Paul Island Tribal Court. Penalties assessed under this chapter are to be regarded as civil and remedial in nature and are in part to compensate the agencies of the Tribe and its subdivisions for the cost of maintaining a safe and productive community for the tribal members of the Aleut Community of St. Paul Island.
