Definitions. As used in this section, the following words shall have the following meanings:

BOOT, BOOTING or BOOTED

The act of immobilizing a motor vehicle in such manner as to prevent its operation with a device or by means which will cause no damage to such vehicle unless it is moved while such device is in place or such means are employed.

UNSETTLED PARKING VIOLATIONS

Outstanding violations of parking, standing or stopping regulations of the Borough of Elizabethtown Code or the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code for which citation(s) have been filed with a District Justice and a summons has been issued to which either no response has been made or for which a warrant has been issued including adjudicated citations where the fine and costs imposed are unpaid.

Boot Installation. Any motor vehicle found parked within the Borough of Elizabethtown upon any public route at any time may, by or under the direction of an officer or member of the Police Department of the Borough, be booted if there are three or more unsettled parking violations pending against the owner of the motor vehicle.

Notice of Booting. Upon booting of such motor vehicle, the officer or employee shall cause to be placed on the vehicle, in a conspicuous manner, notice sufficient to warn any individual that the vehicle has been immobilized and that any attempt to move the vehicle might result in damage to the vehicle. The notice shall also outline the procedure for obtaining removal of the boot. As soon as practicable, the officer or employee shall provide the owner of the booted vehicle, at his request, with a list of the prior unsettled parking violations for which, or on account of which, such vehicle was booted.

Boot Removal; Hearing.

(3)

The owner of a booted vehicle or other authorized person shall have the right to a post-immobilization hearing limited to the determination of the validity of the booting. Such hearing must be requested within 15 days after the vehicle is booted and shall be conducted by a hearing officer appointed by the Mayor. The hearing shall be held during normal business hours within one business day of the demand therefor. The post-immobilization hearing will not be determinative of or adjudicate the merits of any citation issued relative to any immobilized vehicle but will be limited solely to whether the vehicle was properly subject to booting under the provisions of this section.

Booting Fee. The owner of a booted vehicle shall be subject to a fee in an amount as established from time to time by resolution of Borough Council for such immobilization.

Tampering With Boot Prohibited. Any person who shall tamper with, remove or attempt to remove any device used to immobilize a motor vehicle that has been booted pursuant to this section, or who shall move or attempt to move the vehicle booted before release of the vehicle has been officially secured, shall be, upon conviction thereof, sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $600 plus costs and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 30 days.

Implementation and Enforcement. This section shall be enforced by the Police Department of the Borough of Elizabethtown, and the Chief of Police shall have authority for implementing the parking enforcement provisions thereof and to promulgate such rules and regulations as necessary therefor, which regulations shall be effective upon approval by Council.

Right to Hearing Not Waived. Nothing in this section shall be construed to deprive any person of the constitutional right to a hearing or trial as to the violation for which citations have been issued.
