Any person who violates any provision of a Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
statute regulating stopping, standing or parking is guilty of a summary
offense and shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay the minimum
fine provided by the said statute provision of not less than $25 plus
costs, provided that it shall be the duty of the police officer or
of the parking enforcement personnel of the City to report to the
City all violations of any provisions of this article, indicating
in each case the section violated, the license number of the vehicle
involved in the violation, the location where the violation took place,
and any other facts that might be necessary to secure a clear understanding
of the circumstances attending the violation. The police officer or
parking enforcement officer or other person making the report shall
also attach to or place upon every such vehicle, stating that the
vehicle was parked in violation of the applicable ordinance or statute.
The notice shall contain instructions to the owner or driver that,
if he or she will report to the Parking Office, or another designated
location, or deposit the amount of the same fine in an envelope or
other device provided in any of the ticket dropoff boxes installed
at various locations within the City, that act will save the violator
from prosecution and from payment of costs prescribed. Any person
who violates the provisions regarding handicapped parking shall be
cited and/or, upon conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of
not more than $250 plus costs.
