The city cannot legally force a private citizen to clear a sidewalk that is city property. That is called slavery. Anyone receiving a violation should go to municipal court and fight it. If they lose, appeal to superior court. You don't need a lawyer. The city will have to pay the police officer to go to court to testify. Ask for the photographs of the uncleared sidewalk. Ask the officer to tell you how deep the snow was. He didn't photograph it? He didn't measure it? Where is the proof that the sidewalk wasn't cleared?

Ask for the city engineer to be subpoened to testify as to the exact location of the sidewalk and its boundries. Also point out that your doctor told you not to shovel snow as you are subject to a heart attack. You have back problems. You cannot afford to pay someone. Why does the city take responsibility to clear some sidewalks but not all of them?
