(F) Any person, firm or corporation violating §§ 150.120 and 150.121 or any part thereof shall be guilty of an ordinance violation and upon conviction shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $10. Provided, however, that whenever any police officer shall find that any person has violated any provision of §§ 150.120 and 150.121, such officer shall notify such person by delivering to such person a written notice stating the name of such person, the specific violation, the date of such violation. Such notice shall be prepared in triplicate. One copy shall be served on the violator; one copy shall be filed with the Clerk-Treasurer; and one copy shall be retained by the officer. The copy served on the violator shall state in substance that the violator or his or her representative must appear at the office of the Clerk-Treasurer within 72 hours of 4:00 p.m. following the service of said notice and have the privilege of paying the sum of $2 in compromise and settlement of the penalty for the violation charged in said notice. The Clerk-Treasurer is authorized to accept on behalf of the town any such offer to pay and settle such penalty pursuant to §§ 150.120 and 150.121. Such acceptance shall be effected by issuing to such violator a receipt for the payment of the sum of $2 within the time stated in the notice, such failure shall be deemed a rejection on the part of the violator of the privilege to compromise and settle the claim of the town in payment of the penalty as provided herein; and the Town Attorney shall prepare the necessary papers and proceeds against said violator on behalf of the town for the violation of §§ 150.120 and 150.121 in the manner provided by law.
