[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
Pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes § 66.0113, the Village Board of Supervisors of the Village of Greenville, Outagamie County, Wisconsin, hereby elects to use the citation method of enforcement of Village ordinances described herein, or in a separate ordinance, including those for which a statutory counterpart exists.
The citation shall contain the following:

The name and address of the alleged violator.
B. 
The factual allegations describing the alleged violation.
C. 
The time and place of the offense.
D. 
The section of the ordinance violated.
E. 
A designation of the offense in such manner as can readily be 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:
(1) 
That a cash deposit based on the schedule established by this or other Village ordinance may be made which shall be delivered or mailed to the Clerk of Court prior to the time of the scheduled court appearance.
(2) 
That if a deposit is made, no appearance in court is necessary unless the defendant is 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, 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.
[Amended 10-13-2014]
(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 § 60.0113(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.
[Amended 10-13-2014]
H. 
A direction that if the alleged violator elects to make a cash deposit, the statement which accompanies the citation shall be signed to indicate that the statement required under Subsection G above has been read. Such statement shall be sent or brought with the cash deposit.
I. 
A statement that if the court finds that the violation involves an offense that prohibits conduct prohibited by state statute punishable by fine or imprisonment or both, and that the violation resulted in property damage or physical injury to a person other than the alleged violator, the court may summon the defendant into court to determine if restitution shall be ordered under W.S.A. § 800.093 (municipal court).
J. 
Such other information as the Village deems necessary.
