[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Mayville 2-13-1989 by Ord. No. 695-89 as § 9.22 of the 1989 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Pursuant to § 66.0113, Wis. Stats., the City hereby elects to use the citation method of enforcement of ordinances, including those for which a statutory counterpart exists.
The citation shall contain the following:
A. 
The name and address of the alleged violator.
B. 
Factual allegations describing the alleged violation.
C. 
The time and place of the offense.
D. 
The section of the ordinance or the municipal code violated.
E. 
A designation of the offense in such manner as can be readily understood by a person making a reasonable effort to do so.
F. 
The time at which the alleged violator may appear in court.
G. 
A statement which, in essence, informs the alleged violator as follows:
(1) 
A cash deposit of a specified amount may be made which shall be delivered or mailed to the Clerk of Courts prior to the time of the scheduled court appearance.
(2) 
If such a deposit is made, the alleged violator need not appear in court unless he is subsequently summoned.
(3) 
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, plus costs, fees, and surcharges imposed under Ch. 814, Wis. Stats., not to exceed the amount of the deposit or will be summoned into court to answer the complaint if the court does not accept the plea of no contest.[1]

(4) 
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 § 66.0113(3)(d), Wis. Stats., or the municipality may commence an action against the alleged violator to collect the forfeiture, plus costs, fees, and surcharges imposed under Ch. 814, Wis. Stats.[2]

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.[3]
