A. Each violator of the restrictions and provisions of this traffic offense shall pay a fine and penalty to the city, in the sum of $10, if paid within seven days of the date of the time of issuance of the traffic offense. Additional late fees shall be assessed based upon the following fine schedule:
1. Unpaid between eight and 14 days of the date of issuance: $20;

B. Any vehicle having three unpaid parking violations in excess of 60 days after the date of issuance that is found in a parking zone restriction area is subject to being restrained by having a wheel boot installed by employees of the city, until such time as all outstanding fines and fees are paid in full. In addition, there will be a $25 fee for the removal of the wheel boot. It is the discretion of the Chief of Police to have motorcycles and/or any other vehicles towed to safe storage in lieu of using the wheel boot. Said vehicle will be released only after payment of all fines and fees are paid in full, and any costs incurred by the city for the towing of the vehicle.
C. Any attempt to evade this schedule by a motorist by moving their vehicle from one parking restriction zone parking spot to another parking restriction zone parking spot will be deemed in violation of this schedule.
D. In the event that such a fine has not been paid within 90 days of the date of the issuance, the violator may be docketed in the Hamilton County Courts and prosecuted as a Class C infraction. In such event, the violator shall be obligated to pay any costs imposed by reason of the docking with the Hamilton County Courts in addition to the fines prescribed herein.
