Legal Documents of Mountain City

Whenever any motor vehicle without a driver is found parked or stopped in violation of any of the restrictions imposed by this code, the officer finding such vehicle shall take its license number and may take any other information displayed on the vehicle which may identify its user, and shall conspicuously affix to such vehicle a citation for the driver and/or owner to answer for the violation within seven (7) days during the hours and at a place specified in the citation.

If the offense is a parking meter parking violation the offender may, within seven (7) days, have the charge against him disposed of by paying to the town recorder a fine of one dollar ($1.00), provided he waives his right to a judicial hearing. If he appears and waives his right to a judicial hearing after seven (7) days but before a warrant for his arrest is issued his fine shall be two dollars ($2.00). For other parking violations the offender may similarly waive his right to a judicial hearing and have the charges disposed of out of court but the fines shall be two dollars ($2.00) within two (2) days and three dollars ($3.00) thereafter until a warrant is issued.

Where official fine receptacles are affixed to parking meter stands, persons who have received parking meter citations are authorized to deposit together with such citation the amount of the fine established in this section. (1994 Code, § 15-703)
