Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former Art. III, Citation Procedures, adopted 9-20-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-05.
The citation form shall be used to institute proceedings in all summary cases for violations of the park rules and regulations. The defendant's copy of the citation outlines his/her responsibility in responding to the charge of which he/she is accused. With the exception of the defendant's and issuing authority's copies, all other copies will serve as prosecution reports and audit trails in all park rules and regulations cases by the citation process.
Each citation will be prenumbered by the printer, and it shall be the duty of the Park Ranger to maintain an accurate number record of all such forms issued to the Park Ranger. Park Rangers shall return all such citations either in the form of (prosecution) reports or as voided forms.
A. 
All entries on the citation shall be printed in ballpoint pen. Sufficient pressure and care must be exercised to ensure that the data printed on this report is clear and legible in order to facilitate the transmittal of funds and retention of this data. Standard abbreviations may be used when practical.
B. 
When an error is committed in preparing a citation, the Park Ranger initiating the report will draw a single line through the error and print the correct information immediately above it.
C. 
When applicable, the word "void" shall be printed horizontally across the center front of the involved report. On the reverse side, the Park Ranger shall place an explanation for such action. The Chief Park Ranger shall review all such reports. One copy shall be retained at the Park Ranger Office and the remaining copies forwarded to the proper Magisterial District Judge.
In the event that a person is responsible for several summary offenses, a citation will be prepared for each offense. If an investigation reveals more than one defendant is responsible for a summary offense, a separate citation form shall be prepared concerning each defendant.
Refer to citation form for details.[1]

Editor's Note: The citation form is on file in the office of the York County Board of Commissioners.
After the Park Ranger has issued a citation, a supplemental report shall be completed. Both the (gold) police copy and the supplemental report shall be presented to the Chief Park Ranger for approval. A copy of the original citation will be attached to the supplementary report.
Within five days of the issuance of a citation, the issuing Park Ranger shall deliver the citation to the appropriate Magisterial District Judge.
