A. A request for a hearing or, in the alternative, payment shall be made within ten calendar days of the date of issuance of the notice of parking violation. If no request for a hearing or payment be made within ten calendar days of the date of issuance of the notice of parking violation, the City shall mail by first class mail a delinquency notice to the registered owner of the vehicle to which the notice was affixed, informing him/her of the violation and of a right to request a hearing.

B. If no request for a hearing or payment be made within ten calendar days of the date of mailing the delinquency notice, the registered owner of the vehicle is declared delinquent. In addition to or in lieu of the possessory lien procedure for collecting delinquent parking violation penalties the City may bring suit for judgment on the penalties plus costs of suit including reasonable attorney’s fees. The City may also turn this matter over to a collection agency. (Ord. 1865, 1998)
