(a) It shall be the duty of the Borough Police, under the direction of the Mayor, to report violations of any of the provisions of this chapter to the Borough Secretary or another officer designated from time to time by Council as the enforcement officer and to cooperate with such enforcement officer in the service of notices and summonses.
(b) Whenever the enforcement officer is advised of a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, such officer shall cause a printed notice of such violation to be handed to the violator or left upon or affixed to the premises where such violation occurred. The notice shall bear the date, the time and the nature of the violation, the fine prescribed therefor and a reference to this chapter.
(c) Notices of violations shall be serially numbered and shall be made out in quadruplicate, with the same serial number on all four copies. One copy shall be left with the person notified or at the premises involved, one copy shall be delivered to the enforcement officer and the remaining two copies are for the use of the person who served the notice and of the magistrate who may hear the case.
(Ord. 675. Passed 8-12-68. )
(d) Whoever receives such a notice of violation shall, within ten days, pay a penalty not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00), such fine to be set by annual resolution of Borough Council. Payment shall be made as directed on the notice of violation and the violator shall be furnished with an official receipt therefor, which shall constitute an admission of the violation charged but shall not excuse a continuing violation.
(e) When a person has been notified in the manner set forth in this chapter and does not avail himself or herself of the penalty provision of subsection (d) hereof, a citation or summons shall be issued for such violation. Upon conviction on such summons or citation before the Magisterial District Justice, the penalty provided for in Section 202.99 may be imposed in addition to or in lieu of any other remedy contained in this chapter or provided by law. If the person named in the citation or summons fails to appear on the date specified therein, a warrant may be issued for his or her arrest.
(f) In addition to the penalty provided in Section 202.99, the Borough shall have all other remedies available at law and in equity.
