A.
Any person violating any of the parking, standing and stopping regulations of Article III of this chapter shall be liable to and pay a penalty or fine established by the Board of Trustees by resolution. It shall be a violation of the provisions of Article III of this chapter for any person to park or to permit another to park any vehicle registered in the name of such person in a manner prohibited by this article. It shall be presumed that a registered owner of a vehicle has parked or permitted another to park said vehicle in the manner parked upon any of the streets or parts of streets described in the schedules pertaining to Article III. In the event that a fine remains unpaid after the return date, a penalty equal to the fine shall be imposed, the total charge being doubled. If the fine is not paid within 90 days after the return date, the penalty shall be increased to $50, which shall be in addition to the fine.
Any persons who shall violate or fail to comply with any of the provisions of Article IV of this chapter or who shall counsel, aid or abet any such violation or failure to comply shall be deemed guilty of disorderly conduct and shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $250 or by imprisonment not to exceed 15 days, either or both penalties to be imposed at the discretion of the court; provided, however, that should the violation consist solely of parking or standing a vehicle beyond the lawful time as provided in § 278-38 hereof, upon due notification of such violation to the operator or owner of such vehicle, the prescribed parking fines, if paid within the specified time limit to the Clerk of the Traffic Violations Bureau of the Village of East Rockaway, with a plea of guilty, shall be considered settlement in full of any and all penalties hereunder. Failure to pay as provided or to appear voluntarily in court will subject the operator or owner of such vehicle to a warrant for arrest and the impositions of such penalties as the law may provide.
