A.Â
Permits shall be issued at a cost of $50 per parking permit per month
or $125 per quarter year (three months).
B.Â
The permit shall provide a first-come, first-serve opportunity for
any business owner, employee of that business owner, government employees,
current or former military personnel, teacher or other employee of
the Passaic Board of Education to park at any meter in the City of
Passaic for a day without feeding the meter.
C.Â
Permits shall be limited to up to two permits per business, whether
issued in the name of the business itself or to an employee of such
business, and one permit for an individual government employee, military
personnel, teacher or other employee of the Passaic Board of Education.
If the permit is for a business or employee thereof, then the business
owner shall provide to the City Clerk proofs, to be established by
the Clerk, concerning the ownership of the business within the City
of Passaic. The proofs for such business or employee permit include
a federal tax ID number, business registration certificate or certificate
of occupancy and a list of all employees. All individuals applying
for a permit as a government employee, teacher or other employee of
the Passaic Board of Education shall present proof of such employment
when applying for said permit. All individuals applying for a permit
as current or former military personnel shall present proof of such
status when applying for said permit.
D.Â
Application for parking permits under this article shall be made
in writing to the City Clerk, or his or her designee, upon such forms
as may be provided. An applicant for a parking permit under this article
shall show to the City Clerk, or his or her designee, satisfactory
evidence that he fulfills all the conditions required for the issuance
of such permit. Whenever such conditions no longer exist, any person
holding such permit shall surrender the same to the City Clerk, or
his designee.
E.Â
Permits to be renewed shall be applied for at least two weeks prior
to the end of the month or quarter-year period, whichever is applicable.
Failure to renew within that time shall void the permit at the end
of the month or quarter-year period, whichever is applicable. It shall
be unlawful for any person to represent that he is entitled to a permit
hereunder when he is not so entitled, to fail to surrender a permit
to which he is no longer entitled or to park a vehicle displaying
such permit at any time when the holder of such permit is not entitled
to hold it.
Any person who violates any provision of this article shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $150.
A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day the vehicle
remains parked in violation of this article.
