Any person who violates any provision of this
article shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay such fine as is
set by resolution of Clarion Borough Council and costs; provided,
however, that it shall be the duty of the police officers and of parking
enforcement personnel of the Borough to report all violations of any
provision of this article, indicating, in each case, the violation,
the license number of the vehicle involved in the violation, the location
where the violation occurred and any other facts that might be necessary
in order to secure a clear understanding of the circumstances attending
the violation. The police officer or other person making the report
shall also attach to or place upon every such vehicle a notice stating
that the vehicle was parked in violation of this article. The notice
shall contain instructions to the owner or driver of the vehicle that,
if he will report to the Police Department and pay the sum indicated
within the time specified after the time of the notice, or if he will
place the sum indicated, enclosed within the envelope provided, in
any of the special parking fine boxes installed at various locations
within the Borough, that act will save the violator from prosecution
and from payment of the fine and costs prescribed in the first sentence
of this section.
