The Chief of Police shall, by posting appropriate signs or otherwise,

is so temporarily permitted.
Each period of posted time limit or, if no time limit is posted,

offense and shall be prosecuted accordingly.
A.
Failure of an authorized holder to properly display the disabled
persons parking decal when parked in any parking space specifically
reserved for persons with disabilities, as required by Section 11-1301.3

parking violation by paying to the Village:
(3)
The sum of $100 for any alleged parking violation on, upon, or along
Lakeside Drive in the Village, which shall be the minimum penalty
for each or any parking violation on Lakeside Drive; or
B.
The payments of fines in settlement of any parking violations must
be paid within 30 days after the time of such alleged offense was
committed. Failure to pay any fine assessed pursuant to this section
within 30 days shall result in an increase of said fine to twice the
amount set forth herein. For each thirty-day period thereafter during
which said fine and any resulting penalties are not paid, an additional
penalty of $50 shall be assessed; provided that the total cost of
a single fine does not exceed $500. Such payment may be made to the
Village at 2275 Telegraph Road in Bannockburn, Lake County, Illinois,
and, if requested, a receipt shall be issued for all money so received,
and such money shall be promptly turned over to the Treasurer to be
used in the manner provided for the disposition of fines for traffic
violations.
