Code of Ordinance › Chapter 66 — TRAFFIC AND VEHICLES › Article VI — OPERATION OF VEHICLES ON SCHOOL PROPERTY

It shall be the duty of the village police department, whenever any vehicle is found parked in violation of this article, to note the location of the parked vehicle, the state of vehicle registration, the vehicle license number, and any other information displayed which may identify the driver of the vehicle, and to thereafter issue a parking violation ticket, which shall be conspicuously affixed to the illegally parked vehicle, on a form provided by the village clerk. The form ticket shall notify the driver of the vehicle of the need to answer the parking violation charge against him within ten days during certain hours and at a place specified in the ticket. Under circumstances where the owner of the vehicle does not make an appearance or answer to the charge, and fails or refuses to pay a prescribed parking violation fee within ten days after its issuance, inclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, the village police department shall notify the office of the village attorney and a final notice shall be sent to the owner of the vehicle informing him of the violation and warning that if such notice is disregarded the ticket will be filed with the district court and proceedings will continue pursuant to the Uniform Traffic Code as a civil infraction. (Comp. Ords. 1987, § 20.556)

In any prosecution charging a violation of any law or regulation governing the standing or parking of a vehicle, proof that the particular vehicle described in the complaint was parked in violation of any such law or regulation, together with proof that the defendant named in the complaint was at the time of such parking a registered owner of such vehicle, shall constitute in evidence a prima facie presumption that the registered owner of such vehicle was the person who parked or placed such vehicle at the point where, and for the time during which, such violation occurred, or authorized such parking or placement. (Comp. Ords. 1987, § 20.557)
