satisfaction of a judgment or default judgment shall be disbursed by the Parking <br />Violations Bureau to the City of Lakewood, Department of Finance, and the Parking <br />Violations Bureau shall enter the fact of payment of the money and disbursement in the <br />records of the Parking Violations Bureau. If payment is not made within this time <br />period, the judgment or default judgment shalt be filed with the office of the Clerk of <br />Courts, Civil Division, and when so filed, shall have the same force and effect as a <br />money judgment in a civil action rendered in the court. <br />Judgments and default judgments filed with the Lakewood Municipal Court, office <br />of the Clerk of Courts, Civil Division, shall be maintained in a separate index and <br />judgment roll from other judgments rendered in that court. When a judgment or default <br />judgment is filed with the court, execution may be levied, and such other measures <br />may be taken for its collection as are authorized for the collection of an unpaid money <br />judgment in a civil action rendered in that court. The Municipal Court may assess costs <br />against the judgment debtor, as permitted by the Ohio Revised Code for each Parking <br />Infraction, to be paid upon satisfaction of the judgment. <br />(D) Any person against whom a judgment or default judgment is entered <br />pursuant to this Section and the City of Lakewood if judgment is entered against the <br />City pursuant to this Section may appeal the judgment or default judgment to the <br />Lakewood Municipal Court by filing notices of appeal with the Parking Violations Bureau <br />and the Municipal Court within fifteen (15) days of the date of entry of the judgment <br />and by the payment of such reasonable costs as the court requires. Upon the filing of <br />an appeal, the court shall schedule a hearing date and notify the parties of the date, <br />time and place of the hearing. The hearing shall be held by the court in accordance <br />with the rules of the court. Service of a notice of appeal under this Subsection by a <br />person does not stay enforcement and collection of the judgment or default judgment <br />from which appeal is taken by the person unless the person who files the appeal posts <br />bond with the Parking Violations Bureau in the amount of the judgment, plus court <br />costs, at or before service of the notice of appeal. <br />Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the judgment on appeal of the <br />Municipal Court is final, and no other appeal of the judgment of the Parking Violations <br />Bureau and no appeal of the judgment of the Municipal Court may be taken. <br />(E) A default judgment entered pursuant to this Section may be filed with the <br />Municipal Court, office of the Clerk of Courts, Civil Division, under Subsection (C) of this <br />Section at any time within three (3) years after the date of issuance of the parking <br />ticket charging the Parking Infraction out of which the judgment arose. This division <br />applies to any ticket issued for an offense that would be a parking infraction on or after <br />the effective date of this section, if the ticket was issued within three years prior to the <br />effective date of this section and a warrant has not been issued and served on the <br />operator or owner of the vehicle involved in the offense. <br />-9- <br />
