If the juvenile probation officer, or the issuing officer determines that there has been repeated violations and the minor is determined to fall under the provisions of Section 601 or 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, then a petition to the juvenile court may be filed. The court, as prescribed in WMC Section 9.10.050, shall set the amount of the fine and or community service to be imposed.
