(a) Notice. A peace officer shall issue a penalty assessment notice for all traffic violations under this Section unless the interests of justice, as determined by the peace officer, require a summons. No person shall be entitled to elect to pay a penalty assessment under Subsection (b) below unless an offer of a penalty assessment notice has been made under this Subsection.

(1) Outstanding judgment. Notwithstanding Subsection (a) of this Section, no penalty assessment shall be offered when the peace officer issuing the summons knows, or reasonably believes, that the alleged violator or vehicle has been involved in a criminal violation of any law of the Town for which there has been a conviction in a court of competent jurisdiction, and for which the sentence or judgment (be it fine or imprisonment) remains as yet unsatisfied.

(b) Election. Any person offered a penalty assessment notice under Subsection (a) above may elect to pay the penalty assessment instead of proceeding to hearing or trial on the alleged violation. The amount of the penalty assessment shall be as provided in the schedule set forth in Subsection (c) below. Payment of a penalty assessment constitutes complete satisfaction of the alleged violation if the prescribed payment is received at Town Hall by 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to the court date specified on the penalty assessment notice. Payment of a penalty assessment constitutes an acknowledgment of liability for the violation described in the summons or citation. If the person offered a penalty assessment notice elects not to make full and timely payment thereunder, an action on the alleged violation shall proceed as otherwise provided by law.

(c) Schedule. The following schedule sets forth the penalty assessments which may be offered for violations of this Section. Penalties for Sections 8-2-50 and 8-2-55 shall escalate and be imposed pursuant to MTC Section 1204 as set forth in Section 8-1-60, Penalty assessment.
