The owner and/or operator of a motor vehicle and the owner and/or person in control of a trailer in or upon which a parking violation notice has been left or attached by the City Code Enforcement Officer employed by the City may avoid being prosecuted in the Magistrate Division of the Sixth Judicial District of the State of Idaho in and for the County of Bannock for the violation alleged in such notice by electing to pay to the City Clerk of the City of Lava Hot Springs, as a penalty for such violation, the fee established and set forth for such violation by resolution adopted by the City Council. If the owner and/or operator and/or person in control fails to respond to a parking violation notice within thirty (30) days or refuses to pay a parking violation fee and/or a booting fee, a uniform citation for an infraction may be issued for failure to appear or pay the parking violation fee, or the unpaid fee for the violation may be sent to a professional collection bureau for collection, at the discretion of the Mayor, or the Mayor's designee.
