The police department shall have authority to issue parking tickets in the city as follows:
A. Notice Of Violation: It shall be the duty of the city police department, upon observing a vehicle parked, standing or stopped in violation of the provisions of this chapter, to leave upon such vehicle a separate notice for each posted time limit that such vehicle has been parked or stopped in violation of the provisions of this chapter. Among other things, each notice shall bear the date and hour of leaving the same at or upon the vehicle, make of the vehicle, and its license number, the specific code section violated and the amount of the fine, instructing the owner or operator of such vehicle to report to the city clerk. One copy of each notice mentioned herein shall be filed with the city clerk.
B. Duty Of Person Receiving Parking Ticket: In order to eliminate burdening courts with violations of ordinances and to eliminate, insofar as possible, public inconvenience, each person receiving a parking ticket under this chapter left upon his or her vehicle shall:
1. Within seven (7) days of the time of such notice, pay to the city clerk in full satisfaction of such violation, a ten dollar ($10.00) fee for each notice left upon his or her vehicle.
2. Within ten (10) days from the date of said parking violation notice, if same has not been paid within the seven (7) days above prescribed, pay to the city clerk, an additional five dollars ($5.00) for each such notice left upon his or her vehicle. The additional five dollars ($5.00) for each said ticket or notice being deemed necessary to defray administrative and clerical expenses. The failure of any operator to report and/or make such payments to the city clerk within the times prescribed above shall render the owner or operator thereof subject to an infraction. (Ord. 181, 3-8-2000)
3. In the event of nonpayment in accordance with administrative procedure set out in this section, an infraction citation or complaint for a parking violation or failure to pay a parking penalty subject to a fine of one hundred dollars ($100.00) provided that if rule 9 of the Idaho infraction rules establishes a fixed penalty for this offense, the punishment shall be the amount fixed by said rule.
