(A) Violations of the provisions of this chapter and of the rules and regulations adopted by the Park Board and approved by the City Council may be charged and prosecuted by the issuance of a uniform citation or complaint.
(B) (1) Violations of the provisions of this chapter and of the rules and regulations adopted by the Park Board and approved by the City Council shall be a scheduled violation punishable by a fine of $50 plus the criminal penalty surcharge required by Iowa Code § 911.1 and payment of court costs.
(2) However, if a violation charged involved or resulted in death or serious personal injury of a person, damage to property or created an immediate threat to the safety of other persons or property, the charging officer may note on the uniform citation: “court appearance required.” If the citation indicates that a court appearance is required, then the violation shall not be a scheduled violation and the court may impose any penalty, or combination of penalties, authorized by law.
(C) (1) If any person is issued or is the subject of three or more citations or complaints alleging violations of the provisions of this chapter during any single calendar year, such person shall be barred from the use or occupancy of any city park or recreational facility for a period of 12 months from the date of the third incident. Any person so barred may appeal to the Park Board by filing a written statement of appeal with the City Clerk. An appeal does not stay the bar.
(2) The Parks and Recreation Director shall compile and maintain a list of persons so barred, which shall be filed with the City Clerk, and shall notify all such persons of their barred status by personal service or by U.S. mail, return receipt. A barred individual found using or occupying a city park or recreational facility shall be guilty of trespass pursuant to § 130.09.
