[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough of New
Providence 2-11-1991 as Ord. No. 91-1.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Chief of Police of the Borough of New Providence is hereby authorized
and directed to set aside and to designate certain sections of the municipal
public parking lots, now or hereafter existing in the Borough of New Providence,
as permit parking areas and other sections as metered parking areas.
The Borough Clerk is hereby authorized to issue to persons applying
therefor, on payment of the required fees, permits for the parking of motor
vehicles in the parking permit areas of the municipal public parking lots
now or hereafter existing in the Borough of New Providence. Said permits shall
be issued on an annual basis for a period of one year commencing April 1 of
such year and terminating March 31 of the succeeding year, or upon a quarterly
basis for the three-month periods commencing January 1, April 1, July 1 and
October 1 of each year, and each permit shall authorize the person to whom
it has been issued to park a designated motor vehicle or one of a designated
number of motor vehicles, in the permit parking areas provided in the municipal
public parking lots during the hours when vehicles may be legally parked in
said lots. All permits shall expire on the last day of the month.
[Amended 4-14-1997 by Ord. No. 97-3]
A.
The fee for obtaining one parking permit shall be in
accordance with Chapter 147, entitled "Fees and Licenses" of the Code of the
Borough of New Providence.
B.
An applicant shall complete a form provided by the Borough
Clerk, providing the applicant's name, address, license plate number
of the primary car and make, model and year of car for the primary automobile
for which the applicant requests a parking decal. The Borough Clerk shall
provide one parking decal with a permit number imprinted on it to the applicant.
This decal will be made of "static-cling" plastic material, that will allow
the applicant to transfer the decal to another car if so needed. The Borough
Clerk will enter the permit number onto the corresponding application and
receipt.
C.
Any person who loses the decal and wishes to obtain another,
must pay $5.
[Amended 4-14-1997 by Ord. No. 97-3]
At the time of the issuance of each permit, the Borough Clerk shall
also issue to the person to whom the permit is granted a "static-cling" decal
containing a preprinted permit number and the expiration date of the said
permit. Each such person to whom a parking permit is issued shall display
same decal on the rear, driver-side back window, to face rear of vehicle.
Said parking permit must be kept visible at all times while parked in the
municipal public parking lot.
During the hours between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. of each day, except
Saturdays, Sundays and federal holidays, it shall be unlawful for any person
to cause, allow, permit or suffer any vehicle registered in the name of or
operated by such person to be parked in any permit parking area without a
permit therefor or without the required sticker affixed to said motor vehicle;
provided, however, that any parking space equipped with a parking meter may
be occupied by a motor vehicle not having attached to it a permit for such
period as is permitted by operation of the meter, whether or not such parking
space is included in the area in which parking by permit is permitted.
Motor vehicles are hereby permitted to be parked for one day only, during
the hours in which vehicles may legally be parked as provided for herein on
depositing the sum of $1 in a meter if the same is provided or by payment
of said sum in such other manner as may be established by resolution of the
Mayor and Council.
At all locations where parking spaces are designated, motor vehicles
are required to be parked head in and within the spaces so designated.
[Amended 1-25-1993 by Ord. No. 93-1]
Any person who may violate any provision of this chapter shall, upon
conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not to exceed the sum of $50 or
by imprisonment for a period not exceeding five days.
