C. 
All frontages in said areas, streets or portions of streets defining said zones are to be included therein.
The Superintendent of Public Works is hereby directed and authorized to mark off individual parking spaces in the parking zones and in such other zones as may thereafter be established. Said parking spaces are to be designated by lines painted or durably marked upon the curbing or surface of the street. At each space so marked on, it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in such a way that said vehicle shall not be entirely within the limits of the space so designated.
A. 
In said parking meter zones, the Superintendent of Public Works shall cause parking meters to be installed upon the curb or sidewalk immediately adjacent to the parking space designated as provided in § 93-55 hereof and shall be responsible for the regulation, control, maintenance and use of such parking meters.
B. 
Each parking meter shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin or coins, lawful money of the United States of America, for the period of time prescribed by this article. Each meter shall be so arranged that upon the expiration of the lawful time limit it will indicate by a proper visible signal that the lawful parking period has expired, and in such cases the right of such vehicle to occupy such space shall cease and the operator, owner or manager thereof shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
Except in a period of emergency determined by an officer of the Fire or Police Department or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or traffic control sign or signal, when any vehicle shall be parked in any parking space alongside or next to which a parking meter is located, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering the parking meter space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in said meter such proper coin of the United States as is required for such parking meter and as is designated by proper direction on the meter, and failure to deposit such proper coin when so required shall constitute a violation of this article. Upon deposit of such coin, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of time which has been prescribed for the part of the street in which said parking space is located, provided that any person placing a vehicle in a parking meter space adjacent to a meter which indicates that unused time has been left in the meter by the previous occupant of the space shall not be required to deposit a coin so long as his occupancy of said space does not exceed the indicated unused parking time. If said vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking time limit set for parking space, and if the meter shall indicate such illegal parking, then, and in that event, such vehicle shall be considered as parking overtime and beyond the period of legal parking time, and such parking shall be deemed a violation of this article.
A. 
Parking costs and hours shall, in accordance with § 93-56, be clearly set forth on the meter head.
B. 
Current fees shall be:
(1) 
On-street: $0.25 for each 1/2 hour in the case of all parking meter zones designated and established under § 93-54A and B of the Village Code.
[Amended 5-20-2013 by Res. No. 092/13]
(2) 
Off-street: $0.25 for each continuous one-hour parking period.
C. 
A list of the most recently adopted fees, meter costs and permitted hours shall be on file with the office of the Village Clerk and shall be available to the public for inspection and copying.
D. 
Meter costs and hours are subject to change by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
E. 
Said parking meters shall be operated in said parking meter zones every day between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., except that on Friday of each week the parking meters shall be operated in said parking meter zones between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.; said parking meters shall not be operated on Sundays or holidays; provided, however, that within the meaning of this article, the term "holiday" shall include the following days only: the first day of January, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, the first Monday in September, the 25th day of December and any day designated as a legal holiday.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of the provisions of this article for any person:
A. 
To cause, allow, permit or suffer any vehicle registered in the name of or operated by such person to be parked overtime or beyond the period of legal parking time established for any parking meter zone as herein described, or to deposit in any parking meter any coin for the purpose of parking beyond the maximum legal parking time for the particular parking meter zone.
B. 
To permit any vehicle to remain or be placed in any parking space adjacent to any parking meter while said meter is displaying a signal indicating that any vehicle occupying such parking space has already been parked beyond the period prescribed for such parking space.
C. 
To park any vehicle across any line or marking of a parking meter space or in such position that the vehicle shall not be entirely within the area designated by such lines or markings.
D. 
To deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the provisions of this article.
E. 
To deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter any slug, device or metal substance or other substitute for lawful coins.
The provisions of this article shall be enforced by the Nassau County Police Department and Appearance Ticket Officers of the Village of Valley Stream, as authorized by Chapter 5 of the Village Code.
It shall be the duty of the Village Treasurer to designate a person or persons to make regular collections of the money deposited in said meters, and it shall be the duty of such persons so designated to remove from the parking meters the coins so deposited in said meters and to count and deliver them to the Village Treasurer for deposit of such funds as required by law.
The coins deposited in parking meters shall be used to defray the expense of proper regulation of traffic upon the public streets of the Village of Valley Stream, including the cost of the acquisition of land and constructing and maintaining off-street parking facilities; to provide for the cost of supervision, regulation and control of the parking of vehicles in parking meter zones; and to cover the cost of purchase, supervision, protection, inspection, installation, operation, maintenance, control and use of the parking meters, insofar as such specific use of said moneys is permissible under the law.
A. 
Any person who shall violate or fail to comply with any of the provisions of this article, or who shall counsel or abet any such violation or failure to comply, or any owner or operator of a vehicle when such vehicle shall be parked at a meter indicating "violation," "expired" or some similar indication shall be deemed guilty of disorderly conduct and shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $250, $500 for corporations, or by imprisonment not to exceed 30 days, either or both penalties to be imposed at the discretion of the court, provided that should the violation consist of solely parking or standing a vehicle beyond the lawful time, as provided in § 93-58 hereof, upon due notification of such violation to the operator or owner of such vehicle, a fine of $45, if mailed or delivered to the court on or before the return date or any subsequent adjourned date, with a plea of guilty, shall be considered settlement in full of any and all penalties hereunder; provided, however, that the privilege of paying the fine of $45, as in this immediate subsection specifically stated, shall be limited to an operator or owner who is guilty of such violation as a first offense. An operator or owner guilty of second or further violations shall be subject to the imposition of all penalties provided in this section.
[Amended 5-18-2009 by L.L. No. 2-2009; 5-20-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
B. 
Failure to pay as hereby provided or to appear voluntarily in court will subject the operator or owner of such vehicle to a warrant for arrest and the imposition of such penalties as the law may provide.
Nothing in this article shall be construed as prohibiting the Village of Valley Stream from providing for bus stops, taxicab stands and similar matters, including the loading or unloading of trucks, vans or other commercial vehicles.
The provisions of this article notwithstanding, the Board of Trustees, in its discretion, may suspend, alter, amend or revoke all or any part of the provisions of this article pertaining to on-street parking meters by resolution passed at any public meeting of the Board of Trustees.
