Persons who violate unadopted state laws within the city of Nome shall be prosecuted under state law.
(c) All citations issued under this chapter shall use the appropriate “AS” or “AAC” or “CFR” statute or regulation numbers, include a description of the offense, and indicate that the offense was adopted by reference as a city ordinance. (Ord. O-14-01-02 § 21 (part), 2014)

The city adopts as its traffic fine schedule the “Traffic Bail Forfeiture Schedule” and the “Oversize Vehicle Bail Forfeiture Schedule” in Administrative Rules 43.1 and 43.6 of the Alaska Rules of Court and any other bail forfeiture schedules relating to vehicles adopted by the Alaska Supreme Court. In addition, the city adopts all amendments of those schedules that become effective after February 10, 2014. Citations for offenses listed on these schedules may be disposed of as provided in AS 12.25.195 through 12.25.230, without a court appearance, upon payment of the amounts listed plus the state surcharge required by AS 12.55.039 and 29.25.074.
