The Council has the authority to establish policies and procedures by resolution; or in the alternative, by resolution, authorize the City Administrator to adopt administrative policies and procedures to be followed in the processing of alleged violations of parking codes under the City Municipal Code, these regulations, and state law. The officer or person authorized to enforce the terms and provisions of the traffic regulations of the city upon observing a vehicle in violation thereof shall issue a citation to be attached to the vehicle providing written notice of the violation, amount of the bail, and the address of the City Department of Finance to whom payments thereof shall be sent or delivered.

The notice shall also provide that bail for the violation is $10 if paid within 15 working days after the date of issuance of citation and $20 if paid after 15 days, but not less than 30 days after the date of violation. The foregoing schedule of bail shall remain in full force and effect unless modified by resolution of the City Council. In the event a citee of a parking violation fails to post the appropriate bail either within the initial 15-day period or the subsequent 15-day period, the Director of Finance is authorized and directed to provide the State Department of Motor Vehicles with notice of the violation, together with the license number of the vehicle involved and a request to collect the sum due the city upon registration of the vehicle involved in accordance with policies and procedures duly adopted by the city. In the event a person wishes to contest the allegations set forth in the citation, the citation shall state the process that such owner or operator must follow in order to contest the allegations set forth in the citation pursuant to all applicable state law and all policies and procedures duly adopted by the city. Any and all funds collected for violations within the City Downtown Parking District that are not required to be paid over to the county or the state pursuant to state law or city policies and procedures shall be kept in a separate fund for the purpose of maintenance, operation, and other purposes as set forth in the City's Downtown Parking District regulations.
