The Board of Trustees of the Village of Hewlett Bay Park finds
that the disregard by persons of appearance tickets or summons issued
for violations of laws, ordinances, rules or regulations involving
parking, standing or stopping of vehicles is detrimental to the health,
safety and welfare of the residents of Hewlett Bay Park and that such
disregard may contribute to the development of an attitude of lack
of respect for local laws and the enforcement thereof. It is therefore
the intent of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hewlett Bay
Park, as an exercise of its police power, to promote the general health,
safety and welfare of the residents of Hewlett Bay Park by enacting
this article.
Upon the failure of a person or owner of a vehicle to appear
or answer, on or before the return date or any subsequent adjourned
date, an appearance ticket or summons charging that said person or
owner permitted a vehicle to be parked, stopped or standing in violation
of the provisions of this chapter, late penalties shall be imposed
as follows:
A.
If the appearance ticket is not answered or the fine is not paid
on or before the return date of the appearance ticket or summons or
the person or owner fails to appear on, or pay any fine on or before,
any subsequent adjourned date, a late penalty equal to the original
fine shall be added to the fine.
B.
If the appearance ticket is not answered or the fine is not paid
within 60 days of the return date of the appearance ticket or summons
or of a subsequent adjourned date, a late penalty equal to the original
fine shall be added to the fine.
C.
If the appearance ticket is not answered or the fine is not paid
within 90 days of the return date of the appearance ticket or summons
or of a subsequent adjourned date, a late penalty equal to the original
fine shall be added to the fine.

If the appearance ticket is not answered or the fine is not paid
within 120 days of the return date of the appearance ticket or summons
