Whenever a police officer is authorized to arrest a person without a warrant because of a violation of any of the following chapters, articles or sections of this Code, said police officer may, in lieu of the filing of a complaint in court, in the first instance issue to such alleged violator a citation:
A. 
Advising said person that he has violated a specified provision of this Code;
B. 
Requesting him to make payment in an amount applicable to said alleged violation claim; and
C. 
Informing him that, upon failure to so settle, a complaint will be filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County charging him with such violation.
A. 
Pursuant to said citation, the person so accused of said violation may settle and compromise the violation claim in respect of such ordinance violation by paying to the Village the applicable amount within a period to be specified in said citation, but not more than seven days after the time said alleged offense was committed.
B. 
Such payment shall be made in accordance with the instruction contained in the aforesaid citation, at the office of the Village Clerk or Police Department, who shall, upon request, issue a receipt for the money so received and periodically remit such amounts received to the Village Treasurer to be credited to the proper municipal fund.
In the event that the person to whom said citation is issued fails to settle and pay said violation claim within the prescribed time, or within a period of time specified in a final notice (if one is served upon him), then the police officer is authorized to cause a notice to appear to be served upon said alleged violator and is authorized to file a complaint and to prosecute the same in the Circuit Court of Cook County.
The fact that an automobile or motor vehicle which is illegally operated or parked is registered with the Secretary of State in the name of said alleged violator, or, in the alternative, in the event that a vehicle sticker issued by a municipality has been issued in the name of and to said alleged violator, shall be considered prima facie proof that said alleged violator was in control of or was the operator of the automobile or motor vehicle at the time of such alleged violation.
The violation claim described in said citation so to be issued pursuant to the terms of this Code may be settled, compromised and paid in the respective amounts set forth in the schedule in Article 3, Police Department Fees and Fines:
A. 
In the event that said payment is made prior to the mailing by the municipality or by the police officer of a final notice, the amount shown in the fine column of § 150-3-1 shall be accepted as settlement.
B. 
In the event that payment has not been paid prior to the mailing of such final notice, and, in fact, final notice has been mailed, the amount shown in the past due column of § 150-3-1 shall be accepted as settlement.
C. 
In the event that payment is not made within the time prescribed in the final notice, and a notice to appear has been served and a complaint filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, payment of any fine and costs shall be in such amounts as may be determined and established by the Circuit Court of Cook County.
A. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, any person accused of a violation of any section of Chapter 266, Vehicle Licenses, of this Code in relation to which the violation can be rectified by correction of the violation alleged, or failing to wear a seat belt when required to do so, or violations of the Child Passenger Protection Act (625 ILCS 25/1 et seq.) pursuant to the issuance of a compliance ticket, may settle and comprise that ticket by paying to the Village a fee as shown in the fine column for this section in § 150-3-1 of this chapter and showing proof of the correction of the violation (i.e., replacement of the faulty equipment, purchase of the required license or permit) within 10 days from the date such alleged violation was committed or by paying to the Village the amount shown in the past due.
B. 
Compliance tickets shall be issued as a courtesy in lieu of instituting a prosecution for the alleged offense. If the person accused of the violation does not settle the claim, the compliance ticket will be converted to a complaint, or a uniform traffic complaint or notice to appear will be issued for that violation, and that person shall be subject to the general penalties set forth in this Code.
