Breaking the Law - Our Ordinances

For the Record:

1-3-1 This ordinance says essentially - the ordinances are local laws. If you do not obey our ordinances then you are subject to either the fine listed or $0-$500 dollars and possibly jail.

1-3-2 A lists the procedures for the Police Dept. officers to follow in issuing a citation.

1-3-2 B says this: Procedure for the Mayor or his designated agents. Whenever the Mayor or his designated agent(s) has probable cause to believe that a person has violated any ordinance of the Village of Bosque Farms, excluding traffic violations not amounting to a breach of the peace, but punishable by fine and/or imprisonment, the Mayor or his designated agent(s) shall prepare in triplicate the ordinance violation citation form which is described in Subsection A of this section. At the time the citation is written, the Mayor or his designated agent(s) shall deliver a copy of the ordinance violation citation to the accused.

Yes! The Mayor can and should hold you accountable for breaking an ordinance. The Council has done this all over the place and in front of the Police Department Chief of Police among other officers.

There is a process in place - let's follow it.
