Unless specifically ordered by the judge of the court of jurisdiction to make a personal appearance, any person who has been cited for a town traffic violation may waive trial and pay the applicable fine in accordance with this section. The applicable fine shall be set forth by the Town Council from time to time. If the offense involves a moving violation and further involves a motor vehicle the operation of which must be licensed by the state, the offense is required bylaw to be reported to Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles in accordance with prescribed procedures; therefore, in such case, the citation will be immediately filed with the clerk of the court of jurisdiction and the waiver of trial must be given and the applicable fine paid to and collected by the clerk of the jurisdictional court, along with any applicable court costs and fees. In other cases, the waiver of trial may be given and the applicable fine paid directly to the Town Clerk-Treasurer (either personally or by mail) within five business days of the date of the citation, without payment of further costs or fees. However, after such five days, the Clerk-Treasurer will file the complaint with the clerk of the respective court and thereafter waiver of trial must be given and the applicable fine, costs and fees paid to the clerk of the court in the same manner as for a moving motor vehicle violation.
