A. Upon a failure to pay fines and penalties deemed due and owing the village after the exhaustion of administrative and judicial review procedures set forth herein for ten (10) or more vehicular parking regulation violations, or five (5) or more unpaid automated traffic law violations, the traffic compliance officer shall make a certified report to the Illinois secretary of state stating that the owner of a registered vehicle has failed to pay any fine or penalty due and owing the village as a result of ten (10) or more violations of municipal vehicular standing or parking regulations or five (5) or more automated traffic law violations and thereby cause the suspension of that person's driver's license.
B. The traffic compliance officer shall take no further action unless and until the fines and penalties due and owing the village are paid or upon determination that the inclusion of the person's name on the certified report was in error. At such time, the traffic compliance officer shall submit to the Illinois secretary of state a notification which shall result in the halting of a driver's license suspension proceedings. The person named therein shall receive a certified copy of such notification upon request and at no charge.
C. Persons may challenge the accuracy of the certified report by completing a form provided by the office of the traffic compliance officer. Such form and any supporting documentation must be sent to the traffic compliance officer within five (5) days after the person receives notice from the secretary of state that the person's driver's license will be suspended at the end of a specified period of time unless the secretary is presented with a notice from the village certifying that the fine or penalties due and owing have been paid or that the inclusion of that person's name on the certified report was in error. The form shall specify the grounds on which such challenge is based. Grounds for challenge shall be limited to the following:
1. The person was neither the owner nor the lessee of the vehicle so receiving ten (10) or more violation notices or five (5) or more automated traffic law violation notices on the date or dates such notices were issued; or
2. The person has paid the fine and/or penalty for the ten (10) or more violations or five (5) or more automated traffic law violations indicated on the certified report.
D. The traffic compliance officer shall render a determination within fourteen (14) business days of receipt of the objection form and shall notify the objector of the determination. (Ord. 09-2536, 4-27-2009)
