Chapter 61 Traffic Violations Bureau
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of South Nyack 2-9-1982 by L.L. No. 1-1982. Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter shall be known as the "Local Law Establishing a Traffic Violations Bureau for the Village of South Nyack."
The Village Board of the Village of South Nyack, wishing to assist the residents of the Village and the Village Court in the disposition of offenses relating to traffic and parking violations, does hereby, pursuant to General Municipal Law Article 14-B, § 370 et seq., create a Traffic Violations Bureau.
The Village Court Clerk is hereby designated as the Director of the Traffic Violations Bureau.
Said Bureau shall maintain such hours as may be designated by the Village Court.
The Traffic Violations Bureau shall be authorized to dispose of any violations of the traffic laws, ordinances, rules and regulations when such offenses shall not constitute the traffic infraction known as "speeding" or a misdemeanor or felony.
Any individual may plead guilty to an offense within the jurisdiction of the Traffic Violations Bureau by a written document in such form as prescribed by the Traffic Violations Bureau, waiving the right to trial and inclusion with said document of the payment of such fine as shall be designated by the Village Court for said offense, provided that such fines are within the limits established as penalties for such offense.
Within the time specified on the summons, a person may appear personally or by designated person or by written power of attorney, in such form as prescribed by the Traffic Violations Bureau, before the Traffic Violations Bureau to answer the violation alleged. Said violation may be satisfied by payment of the prescribed fine and a writing waiving a court hearing. Fulfillment of said conditions shall presumptively be considered a plea of guilty, which plea the Bureau Director shall be authorized to enter.
Fulfillment of said conditions shall be deemed complete satisfaction for the violation, and the violator shall be given a receipt which so states.
If a person charged with a traffic violation does not answer the violation, as prescribed in § 61-5, within a time specified on the notice of violation, the Bureau shall cause a complaint to be entered against said person and a warrant to be issued for said person's arrest and appearance before the court.
Any person who shall have been, within the preceding 12 months, guilty of a number of parking violations in excess of a maximum number to be established by the court or of three or more violations other than parking violations shall not be permitted to appear and answer to a subsequent violation before the Traffic Violations Bureau, but must appear in court at a time specified by the Bureau.
The Village Court shall designate the fines to be paid for offenses which may be satisfied at the Bureau, as provided in this chapter, provided that such fines are within the limits established as penalties for such offenses.
The Traffic Violations Bureau shall keep a record of all violations of which each person has been guilty, whether such guilt was established in court or in the Bureau, and also a record of all fines collected and the disposition thereof.
The Bureau shall also perform such other or additional duties and keep such other or additional records as shall be prescribed by the court and/or Village Board.
A Traffic Violations Bureau shall be established within 30 days after adoption of this chapter by the Village Board.
