Whenever any police officer finds any vehicle(s) in violation of any parking regulation or restriction, he shall attach to such vehicle(s) a notice to the owner or operator that such vehicle has been parked in violation of law.

The amount of the fine shall be $50 if payment in full is received at police headquarters within 14 days of the date on which such notice was attached to the owner/operator's vehicle. The fine shall be $100 if payment in full is received at police headquarters after the 14th but no later than the 30th day after the notice was placed on the vehicle. Payment may be made either in person at the police headquarters or by mail addressed to police headquarters and postmarked before the end of the fourteen- or the end of the thirty-day period, as the case may be. The Police Chief may designate other acceptable means of payment from time to time, provided he gives prior written notice thereof to the Town Council.
