Police officers for the Borough of Bath and any Bath Code Enforcement Officer are hereby authorized to enforce the provisions of this article and of those provisions found under Article II. Any person who shall violate this article or any other parking provisions as found under Article II shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay the penalties prescribed in the Uniform Traffic Regulations, as may be amended by ordinance.
B.
It shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement
officer(s) for the Borough to report to the Mayor all violations of
any provision of this article, indicating, in each case, the section
thereof violated, the license number of the vehicle involved in such
violation, the location where such violation took place, the time
of such violation, and any other facts that might be necessary in
order to secure a clear understanding of the circumstances attending
such violation.
C.
The police officer or parking enforcement officer making such report
shall also attach to every such vehicle a notice that such vehicle
was parked in violation of this article, which notice shall contain
instructions to the owner or operator of such vehicle that if he shall
report to the office of the Chief of Police and pay, for the use of
the Borough, the sum of $1 within 48 hours after the time of such
notice, or if he shall place such sum of $1 enclosed within the envelope
provided, in any of the special parking fine boxes installed at various

E.
Correctable violation.
A parking ticket issued for the offense of expired inspection is hereby
a correctable violation (a "fix it" ticket). If issued a parking ticket
for expired inspection and the violator or vehicle owner has no previous
violation(s) for expired inspection, the violator/vehicle owner may
show proof of inspection was complete after ticket issuance to have
the ticket dismissed by the Borough. Proof of correction can only
be made, in person, to Borough Office personnel during normal business
hours, and if necessary, in consultation with the issuing Code Official
or Borough Manager. Code officials or any Borough employee(s) are
not to be approached on any roadway, or any other circumstance outside
the Borough Office during normal business hours for certification.
Proof of correction includes a state inspection of the subject vehicle
by a state-certified automobile mechanic and presented to the Borough
on or before the 15th business day of the issuance date of the ticket
by the Code Official. No extensions will be granted, and postmark
dates are not acceptable. The Borough Office, in its sole discretion,
will evaluate the proof of correction and that the time limit requirements
of this provision have been met prior to dismissing a parking ticket
for the offense of expired inspection.
