When the Municipal Clerk receives a citation pursuant to § 33.27(B), the Clerk shall retain the citation for the period of time indicated under § 33.29(A) to see if the accused wishes to satisfy the complaint in the manner provided under the section. If, at the end of the period the complaint has not been satisfied, and has not been withdrawn by the municipal corporation, the Clerk shall either directly file the complaint with the Clerk of the court of jurisdiction, return the citation to the issuing enforcement officer to be so filed by him or her or deliver same to the Municipal Prosecutor to be so filed by him or her. The Municipal Prosecutor shall determine which procedure should be observed, but in all events shall be notified when a complaint is filed with the court.
