The arresting officer shall indicate on the citation the date of trial, and the defendant must appear in person or by counsel at the stated time and place. If the defendant fails to appear in court in person or by counsel to answer the charge against him, or fails to arrange for a future appearance, the cash bail, if cash bail has been deposited by the defendant, shall be forfeited. If a guaranteed arrest bond certificate has been deposited, the bond shall be forfeited and proceedings to collect the sum involved shall be commenced by the city attorney. If a license to operate a motor vehicle has been deposited, the court clerk shall immediately forward to the department of public safety the driver's license attached to an official notification form furnished by the department of public safety, advising that the defendant failed to appear and requesting suspension of the defendant's driver's license pursuant to state law. If bail has been forfeited, the court may, upon motion of the city attorney or upon its own motion, issue a bench warrant. (Ord. 480 §2, 1978)
