The owner of a vehicle upon which a parking violation notice giving notice of violation of this chapter has been left or attached by a police officer, volunteer parking enforcement officer, firefighters, or parking attendant employed or commissioned by the city, may avoid being prosecuted for the violation alleged in such notice by electing to pay to the police department as a civil penalty for such violation, a fee of fifty dollars ($50.00), unless said fee is not paid within ten (10) days after the issuance of the parking violation notice, in which event the fee shall be seventy five dollars ($75.00). If the owner fails to respond to the parking violation notice within thirty (30) days, an Idaho uniform traffic citation shall be issued to the owner of the vehicle and the violation shall be treated as an infraction, as provided in section 1.12.030 of this code, punishable by a fine of one hundred dollars ($100.00).
Upon receipt of the civil penalty for a violation of section 10.06.050 of this chapter, the police department will forward a copy of the parking violation notice to the Idaho Motor Vehicle Bureau, Special Plates Section, P.O. Box 7129, Boise, ID 83707-1129, for administrative action under section 49-410(10), Idaho Code. (Ord. 457 §6, 1996)
