Latest version.

  • The owner of any dog found in violation of the provisions of this chapter for which a notice to appear has been issued shall, within seven days after issuance of a notice to appear, deposit with the office of the parking commission cash bail in the amount designated by the police judge, and in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, for the type of violation indicated on the notice to appear to ensure the appearance of the owner in the city court to answer the charge made against him by the notice to appear. Upon receipt of bail, the clerk of the parking commission shall issue a receipt therefor, and shall indicate on the receipt the date and time when the owner shall appear in the city court to answer the charge. If such owner fails to report to the office of the parking commission within seven days after the issuance of the notice to appear, the clerk of the parking commission shall forthwith have a complaint entered against the owner and secure issuance of a warrant for his arrest; provided, however, that the owner shall have the right at any time within the seven days after issuance of the notice to appear to pay into the office of the parking commission the sum so set by the city judge as cash bail as a voluntary payment in full satisfaction of the violation. The clerk of the parking commission shall issue a receipt in duplicate for such payment for such a violation of the provisions of this chapter and deliver the original of the receipt to the person making the payment. The duplicate of all receipts together with the total of money so paid into the office of the parking commission each day for violations of the provisions of this chapter shall be delivered by the clerk of the parking commission to the treasurer no later than the close of the business day following the date or receipt of such money by the parking commission, and the treasurer shall deposit the same to the credit of Butte-Silver Bow in a bank designated as an authorized depository of the funds of Butte-Silver Bow and credit the same to the general fund.
