D. The Finance Director, or designee, may waive the requirement of an advance deposit required by subsection 1.22.080A of this chapter and issue the advance deposit hardship waiver only if the cited party submits to the Finance Director, or designee, a sworn statement, together with any supporting documents or materials, demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Finance Director the person's actual financial inability to deposit with the city the full amount of the fine in advance of the hearing.
E. If the finance director, or designee, declines to issue an advance deposit hardship waiver, the person shall remit the deposit to the city within ten (10) days of the date of that decision or thirty (30) days from the date of the administrative citation, whichever is later.
