('88 Code, Title X, Ch. 127, § 10.22)
No violation not scheduled in § 71.06 shall be disposed of by the Parking Violations Bureau.

No person shall be required to dispose of a parking violation at the Parking Violations Bureau and all persons shall be entitled to have any such violation processed before a court having jurisdiction thereof if they so desire.
