For all violations under this chapter for illegal parking of vehicles, the provisions of Sections 41102 and 41103 and 40513 of the Vehicle Code of the state shall be followed, reference to which is made and incorporated in this chapter. After the attachment to the vehicle of the illegal parking notice required under Section 41103(1) of such Vehicle Code or violation of the parking regulations of this title, the officer attaching the same shall file a copy thereof with the Vacaville Judicial District Court. If neither the person causing such illegal parking nor the registered owner of the vehicle responsible therefor appears before the Vacaville Judicial District Court at or before the time set forth in the notice, the court shall thereupon fix the bail for such violation and cause the notice provided for under Section 41103(2) to be served as required by such section, endorsing upon such notice a statement of the amount of bail so fixed. The registered owner or person causing such illegal parking, may prior to the date upon which he is set to appear, deposit with the court the amount of bail thus set. Thereafter, if at the time specified in such notice for the appearance of such registered owner or person causing such illegal parking, he does not appear, either in person or by counsel, or if such person files a written consent, the court may declare the bail forfeited, and may, in its discretion, order that no further proceedings shall be had in such case. No warrant shall be issued on such charge for the arrest of such person, unless and until he has failed to deposit bail, to appear for arraignment, trial or judgment, or to comply with the terms and provisions of the judgment as required by law.
