§ 12-150.1. Parking citation authorized; disposition; amounts.

(a)

Whenever a police officer or other enforcement authority designated by the manager under authority of section 12-81 shall observe a vehicle parked in violation of local law, he or she is authorized, in addition to all other authorized methods of enforcement, to issue a parking citation on a form approved by the police chief, and affix such citation or citation to the parked vehicle. The citation or form so issued shall, as a minimum, contain on its face the license plate number or vehicle identification number (VIN) of the parked vehicle, the date and time of the issuance, the nature of the offense, the standard bond approved by the chief municipal judge for the cited violation, the manner in which payment may be made, and the identification of the issuing official.

(b)

Answering the citation. Each citation issued may be technically dismissed by the enforcement authority, timely paid upon the reduced amount shown upon the citation within the time specified or brought to municipal court for receipt of warrant and criminal adjudication.

(c)

Administrative review. Any person aggrieved by the issuance of a parking citation may seek administrative review by submitting a written statement as to why the citation was improvidently issued. Such written statement must be submitted with payment of the fee due and received by the enforcement authority at the address which appears on the citation no later than the original due date for payment referenced on the citation. If facts, circumstances or credible proof is shown to the satisfaction of the hearing officer that the following technical reasons exist, the hearing officer may immediately invalidate the citation:
