(a) The Police Chief is hereby granted authority to consider the waiver of parking ticket fines under the conditions set forth in this section. The person receiving the ticket shall present the ticket to the Chief of Police within seven calendar days and ask for relief by completing an affidavit form, which attests that the person driving the violating vehicle was unable to comply with the parking regulations for one of the following recognized reasons:
(1) The person was actively serving on jury duty.
(2) The vehicle was being used by a public safety department of the State or other local government, and the activity that the law enforcement employee was engaged in prohibited or made it impractical for the movement of the vehicle to accommodate the City's parking regulations.
(3) Permission was provided by the Police Chief for the vehicle to be parked in the location, due to extraordinary circumstances.
(4) The driver was unable to comply with the parking regulations because of circumstances which were beyond the control of the driver. Inconvenience to the driver is not a sufficient reason for waiver under this paragraph.
(b) Each request will be subject to investigation by Police Department personnel to determine the validity of the request. The action of the Chief of Police does not constitute a voiding of the violation, but it is a waiver of the fine for said violation.
