Pursuant to § 66.0113, Wis. Stats., the Village hereby
elects to use the citation method of enforcement of ordinances, including
those for which a statutory counterpart exists.
The municipal citation shall contain the following information:
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 Code violated.
E. A designation of the offense in such manner as can readily be 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 in essence informs the alleged violator that:
(1) A cash deposit based on the schedule established by the Village Board
as a part of this chapter may be made which shall be delivered or
mailed to the Clerk of the Municipal Court prior to the time of the
scheduled court appearance.
(2) If a deposit is made, no appearance in court is necessary, unless
he is subsequently summoned.
(3) If a cash deposit is made and the alleged violator does not appear
in court, he will be deemed to have entered a plea of no contest or,
if the court does not accept the plea of no contest, a summons will
be issued commanding him to appear in court to answer the complaint.
(4) 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.
(5) 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 of this section has been read. Such statement shall be sent or brought with the cash deposit.
I. Such other information as the Village deems necessary.
