Pursuant to § 66.0113, Wis. Stats., the Town of Addison
hereby elects to use the citation method of enforcement of ordinances
other than those for which a statutory counterpart exists.
The citation shall contain the following:
A. The name and address of the alleged violator.
B. Factual allegations describing the alleged violation.
C. The time and place of the offense.
D. The section of the ordinance violated.
E. A designation of the offense in such manner as can be readily understood
by a person making a reasonable effort to do so.
F. The time at which the alleged violator may appear in court.
G. A statement which essentially informs the alleged violator:
(1) That a cash deposit based on the schedule established by this chapter
may be made which shall be delivered or mailed to the Clerk of Courts
prior to the time of the scheduled court appearance.
(2) That if such a deposit is made, the alleged violator need not appear
in court unless he or she is subsequently summoned.
(3) That if a cash deposit is made and the alleged violator does not
appear in court, he or she will be deemed to have tendered a plea
of no contest and submitted to a forfeiture and a penalty assessment
imposed by statute not to exceed the amount of the deposit or, if
the court does not accept the plea of no contest, a summons will be
issued demanding him or her to appear in court to answer the complaint.
(4) That if no cash deposit is made and the alleged violator does not
appear in court at the time specified, an action may be commenced
to collect the forfeiture and the penalty assessment imposed by statute.
(5) That if the court finds that the violation involves an ordinance
that prohibits conduct that is the same as or similar to conduct prohibited
by state statute punishable by fine or imprisonment or both, and that
the violation resulted in damage to the property of or physical injury
to a person other than the alleged violator, the court may summon
the alleged violator into court to determine if restitution shall
be ordered under § 800.093, Wis. Stats.
H. A direction that if the alleged violator elects to make a cash deposit, the statement which accompanies the citation shall be signed to indicate that the statement required under Subsection
G above has been read. Such statement shall be sent or brought with the cash deposit.
I. Such other information as the Town Board deems necessary.
Section 66.0113(3), Wis. Stats., relating to a violator's
options and the procedure on default, is hereby adopted and incorporated
herein by reference.
