Status: in_force

(a) The Montgomery Municipal Court is vested with the power and jurisdiction to hear and adjudicate the civil violations provided for in this subpart, and to issue orders imposing the civil fines and costs set out in this subpart.

(b) A person who receives a notice of violation may contest the imposition of the civil fine by submitting a request for a hearing on the adjudication of the civil violation, in writing, within 15 days of the 10th day after the date the notice of violation is mailed. Upon receipt of a timely request, the city shall notify the person of the date and time of the adjudicative hearing by United States mail, return receipt requested.

(c) Failure to pay a civil penalty or to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of liability in the full amount of the civil fine assessed in the notice of violation.

(d) The civil fine shall not be assessed if, after a hearing, the Montgomery Municipal Court Judge enters a finding of no liability.

(e) If an adjudicative hearing is requested, the city shall have the burden of proving the traffic signal violation by a preponderance of the evidence. The reliability of the photographic traffic signal enforcement system used to produce the recorded image of the violation may be attested to by affidavit of a trained technician. An affidavit of a trained technician that alleges a violation based on an inspection of the pertinent recorded image is admissible in a proceeding under this subpart and is evidence of the facts contained in the affidavit.

(f) The notice of violation, the recorded and reproduced images of the traffic signal violation, regardless of the media on which they are recorded, accompanied by a certification of authenticity of a trained technician, and evidence of ownership of a vehicle as shown by copies or summaries of official records shall be admissible into evidence without foundation unless the municipal court finds there is an indication of untrustworthiness, in which case the city shall be given a reasonable opportunity to lay an evidentiary foundation.

(g) All other matters of evidence and procedure not specifically addressed in this subpart shall be subject to the rules of evidence and the rules of procedure as they apply in the small claims courts of this state, except that on any appeal to Montgomery County Circuit Court for trial de novo the evidence and procedures shall be as for any civil case in the circuit court except as otherwise provided in this subpart.

(h) A person who is found liable for the civil violation after an adjudicative hearing or who requests an adjudicative hearing and thereafter fails to appear at the time and place of the hearing is liable for court costs and fees set out herein in addition to the amount of the civil fine assessed for the violation. A person who is found liable for a civil violation after an adjudicative hearing shall pay the civil fine and costs within 10 days of the hearing.

(i) Whenever payment of a civil fine is owed to the city, the amount of the civil fine as set by ordinance may not be increased, decreased, or remitted by the municipal court, and the liability may be satisfied only by payment.

(j) It shall be an affirmative defense to the imposition of civil liability under this subpart, to be proven by a preponderance of the evidence, that:

(1) The traffic-control signal was not in proper position and sufficiently visible to an ordinarily observant person.

(2) The operator of the motor vehicle was acting in compliance with the lawful order or direction of a police officer.

(3) The operator of the motor vehicle violated the instructions of the traffic-control signal so as to yield the right-of-way to an immediately approaching authorized emergency vehicle.

(4) The motor vehicle was being operated as an authorized emergency vehicle under Sections 32-5A-7 and 32-5-213, and that the operator was acting in compliance with that chapter.

(5) The motor vehicle was stolen or being operated by a person other than the owner of the vehicle without the effective consent of the owner.

(6) The license plate depicted in the recorded image of the violation was a stolen plate and being displayed on a motor vehicle other than the motor vehicle for which the plate had been issued.

(7) The presence of ice, snow, unusual amounts of rain, or other unusually hazardous road conditions existed that would make compliance with this subpart more dangerous under the circumstances than noncompliance.

(8) The person who received the notice of violation was not the owner of the motor vehicle at the time of the violation.

(9) There was no sign installed as required by this subpart near the red light at which the violation allegedly occurred warning that an automated red light camera device was being used.

(k) To demonstrate that at the time of the violation the motor vehicle was a stolen vehicle or the license plate displayed on the motor vehicle was a stolen plate, the owner must submit proof acceptable to the hearing officer that the theft of the vehicle or license plate, prior to the time of the violation, had been timely reported to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

(l) Notwithstanding anything in this subpart to the contrary, a person who fails to pay the amount of a civil fine or to contest liability in a timely manner is entitled to an adjudicative hearing on the violation if:

(1) The person files an affidavit with the hearing officer stating the date on which the person received the notice of violation that was mailed to the person, if not received by the 10th day after same is mailed as set out in subsection (a) of Section 45-51A-35.24.

(2) Within the 15 days of the date of actual receipt, the person requests an administrative adjudicative hearing.

The procedures, rules, and regulations may provide for appropriate agreements with credit card issuers or other appropriate parties as needed to facilitate the acceptance of credit card payments. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the agreements may provide for the acceptance of credit card payments at a discount from their face amount of the payment; may make any payment of discount or administrative fees by paying an invoice or allowing withholding of discounts or administrative fees from the face amount or the payment of withholding of administrative fees from the face amount of the credit card payments. The discount or administrative fees may be authorized when the officer, board, or other body determines that any reduction of revenue resulting from the discount or fees will be in the best interest of state or local government. Factors which may be considered in making that determination may include, but are not limited to, improved governmental finance, security, or a combination of one or more of the foregoing together with the benefit of increased public convenience.

(7) No person making any payment by credit card shall be relieved from liability for the underlying obligation except to the extent that county government realizes final payment of the underlying obligation in cash or the equivalent. If final payment is not made by the credit card issuer or other guarantor of payment in the credit card transaction, then the underlying obligation shall survive and county government shall retain all remedies for enforcement which would have applied if the credit card transaction had not occurred. No contract may modify the provisions of this subdivision. This subdivision shall not make the underlying obligor liable for any discount or administrative fees paid to a credit card issuer or other party by county government.

(8) A county government officer or employee who accepts a credit card payment in accordance with this section and any applicable procedures, rules, or regulations of the governing body shall not thereby incur any personal liability for the final collection of the payments.

The county commission may establish a periodic payment system and is authorized to purchase necessary supplies and materials and employ personnel necessary to effectuate any such periodic payment system. Such periodic payment system may be effected by the county by negotiating with any one or more public or private utilities providing service in the county for the periodic billing of such fees and the collection thereof on behalf of the county by one or more such utilities. Any delinquencies in any such payments shall entitle the county to pursue any remedy provided in this article including the enforcement of any lien obtained hereunder. The county may agree to pay reasonable compensation to any such utility for its services in connection with the collection and payment to the county of all such sums so collected.

(b) Whenever the solid waste officer shall find that any owner of solid waste generating property has failed to subscribe to the county solid waste collection program and pay the required solid waste collection and disposal fees or has failed to obtain a certificate of exception as provided in this article, such failure shall constitute a public nuisance and such officer shall give the person, firm, association, or corporation last assessing the property for state taxes and all mortgages of record notice by personally serving upon such person, firm, association, corporation, or mortgagee a copy of the notice to comply with the requirements of this article within a reasonable time set out in the notice, which time shall be not less than 60 days, or suffer such solid waste collection and disposal fees to be assessed against the property. In the event that any such personal service is returned not found after not less than two attempts, such notice may be given by registered or certified mail.

The cost of such services, including any monthly fees not heretofore paid, shall be rendered in an itemized report and shall constitute a special assessment against the property. Such special assessment shall not be greater than the cost to the county providing such solid waste collection and disposal services nor shall such special assessment be greater than twenty dollars ($20) multiplied by the number of months of service, not to exceed 12 months, which have not been paid for by the property owner. A copy of the report of costs shall be forwarded to the appropriate official charged with collection of taxes and assessments whereupon it shall be the duty of the official to add the amount of the respective assessment to the next regular bill for taxes levied against the property for county purposes. Thereafter the amounts shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary county taxes are collected. The amounts shall be a lien in favor of the county upon property against which the assessment was made and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure under foreclosure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary county taxes.

(d) Within the time specified in such notice, but not more than 60 days from the date such notice is given, any person, firm, or corporation having an interest in such property may file a written request for a hearing before the county commission, together with his or her objections to the finding by the solid waste officer that such property owner has failed to comply with this article, and his or her correct mailing address. The filing of such request shall hold in abeyance any action on the finding of such officer until determination thereon is made by the county commission. Upon holding such hearing, which hearing shall be held not less than 10 nor more than 60 days after such request, or in the event no hearing is timely requested, the county commission, after the expiration of 60 days from the date such notice is given, shall determine whether or not such owner has complied with this article. Notice of such meeting of the county commission, and that such determination shall be made thereat, shall be mailed to the person, firm, or corporation requesting the hearing at the address stated in the request. In the event that it is determined by such county commission that such property owner has not complied with this article, the county commission shall order such assessment to be made.

(e) Any person aggrieved by the decision of the county commission at such hearing, within 30 days thereafter, may appeal to the circuit court upon filing with the clerk of the court notice of appeal and bond for security of costs in the form and amount to be approved by the circuit clerk. Upon filing of the notice of appeal and approval of the bond, the clerk of the court shall serve a copy of the notice of appeal on the county clerk or administrator and the appeal shall be docketed in the court, and shall be a preferred case therein. The county clerk or administrator, upon receiving such notice, shall file with the circuit clerk a copy of the findings and determination of the county commission in proceedings, and trial shall be held without jury upon the determination of the county commission that such property owner has failed to comply with this article.
