Parking Ordinance."
From and after the passage of this article, in order to enable
the City to operate its streetsweeping equipment, all owners of vehicles
are herewith required to remove their vehicles from the streets at
various times according to a schedule published in the local newspaper,
posted in the office of the City Clerk at City Hall and posted on
the streets applicable thereto.
The City of Shamokin is herewith authorized to tow away any
vehicle remaining on the streets in violation of this article, and
the costs thereof shall be obtained by an action brought against the
owners of the vehicles before the Magisterial District Judge, and
such costs shall be in addition to the penalties provided for in this
article.
[Amended 2-11-1992]
The City of Shamokin, through its Police Department or other
duly authorized agent, shall place upon the vehicle in violation of
this article a notice to the owner or operator thereof that such vehicle
has been parked in violation of the provisions of this article and
instructing such owner or operator to report to the municipal building
of the City of Shamokin in regard to such violation. Each owner or
operator may, within 48 hours of the time any such notice is attached
to such vehicle, pay at the municipal building as a penalty for and
in full satisfaction of such violation the sum of $10; thereafter,
a notice of nonpayment shall be issued to such owner or operator imposing
a penalty of $15, payable at the municipal building within seven days
of the receipt of such notice of nonpayment. The failure of such owner
or operator to make such payment as specified above shall result in
the imposition, upon conviction before the Magisterial District Judge,
of a fine of not less than $25 and costs of prosecution and, in default
of payment of the fine and costs of prosecution, undergoing imprisonment
for not more than three days.
The provisions of this article are severable, and if any section,
clause, sentence, part or provisions thereof shall be held illegal,
invalid or unconstitutional, the decision of the court shall not affect
or impair any of the remaining sections, clauses, sentences, parts
or provisions of this article. It is hereby declared to be the intent
of the Council of the City of Shamokin that this article would have
been adopted as if such illegal, invalid or unconstitutional section,
clause, sentence, part or provision had not been included therein.
This article shall become effective immediately upon passage.
Any ordinance or part of any ordinance conflicting with the
provisions of this article be and the same is hereby repealed insofar
as the same affects this article.
