It is the intent of the Board of Trustees to relieve the Justice
Court of the Village of Morrisville of certain administrative burdens
in connection with the collection of fines for parking violation offenses.
This chapter is adopted pursuant to the authority of Article 14-B
of the General Municipal Law, as amended.
The Justice Court of the Village of Morrisville is hereby authorized
to establish a Parking Violations Bureau to assist the Court in the
disposition of offenses in relation to parking violations. The Village
Justice Court is hereby authorized to designate the Village Clerk
as head of such Bureau and shall be open at such hours as the Court
may designate.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, any person who shall
have been, within the preceding 12 months, guilty of more than six
parking violations shall not be permitted to appear and answer to
a subsequent violation at the Parking Violations Bureau but must appear
in Court at a time specified by the Bureau.
The person charged with an offense which may be disposed of
by the Parking Violations Bureau may appear personally before the
Bureau or may cause another to appear in his stead by executing a
limited authorization and waiver in substantially this form:
I, the undersigned, do hereby waive a hearing in Court and plead
guilty to the parking violation as charged on the ____ day of _______________,
____, and duly authorize the person in charge of the Parking Violations
Bureau to appear in Court, enter my plea and pay my fine which is
enclosed herewith. I understand that I have a right to a trial and
that my signature to this plea of guilty will have the same force
and effect as a judgment of Court.

Any ambiguity with respect to any provision herein or interpretation
hereof shall be governed by Article 14-B of the General Municipal
Law, as amended.
