11-2-5: NOTIFICATION AND PENALTIES:

Violations of sections 11-2-2 and 11-2-3 of this chapter will be established by placing a written notification on the windshield of the offending vehicle. A separate violation occurs each day that the vehicle is found to be in violation of section 11-2-2 or 11-2-3 of this chapter. The notification will require the driver or owner of the vehicle to appear at the Burley city clerk's office on or before a date set forth on the notice. The owner or operator may appear by mail or in person. At the time of appearance the owner or operator may admit the violation and pay a fine of twenty five dollars ($25.00), to the city of Burley, as part of the administrative collection of parking violation penalties, or may deny the violation. If the owner or operator denies the violation the violation shall be charged as an infraction.

   (A)   If the owner or operator fails to appear, the owner of the motor vehicle, and the operator if identified, shall be sent a written notice requiring appearance within a period of ten (10) days. Thereafter, any owner, or operator if identified, failing to report, or denying the violation, shall be charged with an infraction.

   (B)   If an infraction is charged, any owner or operator who is found to have violated the terms of section 11-2-2 or 11-2-3 of this chapter shall be guilty of an infraction and shall be punished by a fine of fifty dollars ($50.00) excluding court costs and fees.

   (C)   Any vehicle illegally parked on the streets designated in section 11-2-2 or 11-2-3 of this chapter during the times prohibited may be removed by the police department or sheriff's department and impounded with the costs thereof assessed against the owner and/or operator of the motor vehicle if any of the following conditions exist:

      1.   The illegally parked vehicle is impeding traffic or threatening public safety, or
