A statement which in essence informs the alleged violator:
(1) 
That the alleged violator may make a cash deposit of a specified amount to be mailed to the Clerk of Courts prior to their return date.
(2) 
That if such a deposit is made, he or she need not appear in court unless subsequently summoned.
(3) 
That, if the alleged violator makes a cash deposit and does not appear in court, he or she either will be deemed to have tendered a plea of no contest and submitted to a forfeiture, a penalty assessment imposed by § 757.05, Wis.

(4) 
That, if the alleged violator does not make a cash deposit and does not appear in court at the time specified, the court may issue a summons or a warrant for the defendant's arrest or consider the nonappearance to be a plea of no contest and enter judgment under § 19-7, or the Village may commence an action against the alleged violator to collect the forfeiture, the penalty assessment imposed by § 757.05, Wis. Stats., the jail assessment imposed by § 302.46(1), Wis. Stats., the crime laboratories and drug law enforcement assessment imposed by § 165.755, Wis.

(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 alleged violator shall sign an appropriate statement which accompanies the citation to indicate that he or she read the statement required under Subsection G and shall send the signed statement with the cash deposit.
