7-10-7: PENALTY:
Unless the driver of the motor vehicle in question received a uniform traffic citation from a police officer at the time of the alleged automated traffic law violation, a vehicle owner or lessee who violated this section shall be subject to a civil penalty as provided in the Annual Fee Resolution for a violation of this section. An additional penalty as provided in the annual fee resolution will be imposed if the violator fails to pay the original penalty or to request a hearing to contest the violation within thirty (30) days of the date of issuance of the notice of violation. Any penalty imposed for a violation of this section is a civil penalty and is not a violation of a traffic regulation governing the movement of motor vehicles and shall not be recorded on the driving record of the vehicle owner, provided that the City may record the violation for the purpose of determining if a person is subject to a higher fine for a second or subsequent offense.
