It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle at an
expired meter at any time between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00
p.m., Monday through Saturday; provided, the requirements of this
article as to parking time limits and as to deposit of coins in parking
meters shall not apply on legal holidays or Sundays.
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established by § 380-42 shall be placed upon the curb or sidewalk, and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces described in § 380-45. Each parking meter shall be placed or set so as to show that the parking space adjacent to that meter is or is not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed shall indicate by a proper legend the legal parking time established by the City and when the adjacent space is occupied by a vehicle, the parking meter shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of the period of legal parking and, on the expiration of that period, shall indicate illegal parking or over-parking.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb,
sidewalk or roadway adjacent to each parking meter for the purpose
of delineating the parking space for which that meter shall be used.
Every vehicle parked at any parking meter shall be parked wholly within
the lines or markings so placed and applicable to that meter. It shall
be unlawful and a violation of this article for any person to park
a vehicle across any such line or marking, or to park a vehicle in
such a position that the vehicle is not wholly within the area designated
by those lines or markings.
[Amended 12-12-2016 by Ord. No. 963]
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to a parking meter, at any time in the period of limited parking as prescribed by § 380-43, the driver of the vehicle, upon entering the parking space, shall immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited, in that parking meter one or more proper coins of the United States of America as specified in the legend on the parking meter. Upon the deposit of the coin or coins, and placing the meter in operation, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by the vehicle for the time indicated on the meter. If any vehicle shall remain in any such parking space for any length of time that the meter shall indicate by proper signal that the lawful parking time has expired, that vehicle shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this article. Provided, every hour that a vehicle remains parked at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate violation of this article.
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in any parking
meter installed under the provisions of this article any slug or other
substitute for a coin of the United States of America.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article for any
person to deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter installed
under the provisions of this article any coin for the purpose of increasing
or extending the parking time of any vehicle beyond the legal parking
time established for that zone.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this article, for any
person to permit a vehicle to remain in a parking space adjacent to
a parking meter installed under this article when that meter displays
a signal indicating that the vehicle has already been parked there
beyond the period of time prescribed for that parking space, or the
time for which a coin or coins was deposited in that meter for the
parking of that vehicle.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this article, for any
person to deface, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy or
impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the provisions
of this article. Provided, nothing in this section shall apply to
the servicing or opening of parking meters by officers, employees
or police officers of the City under the direction of the Chief of
Police or City Council.
A.
It shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement
personnel of the City, acting in accordance with the directions of
the Chief of Police, to report:
(1)
The number of each parking meter that indicates that a vehicle occupying
the adjacent parking space is, or has been, parked in violation of
any provision of this article.
(2)
The date and hour of the violation.
(3)
The license number of the vehicle.
(4)
Any other facts, the knowledge of which is necessary for a thorough
understanding of the circumstances attending the violation.
B.
The police officer or other person making the report shall also place on or attach to the vehicle a notice to the owner or driver of the vehicle that the vehicle was parked in violation of this article, and instructing the owner or driver that if he will report to the office of the City Treasurer and pay, for the use of the City, the sum of $5 within five calendar days after the time of the notice, or will place the sum of $5 enclosed within the envelope provided, in any of the special parking fine boxes installed at various locations within the City within the time limit, that act will save the violator from prosecution and from payment of the fine prescribed in § 380-52A.
[Amended 6-21-2004 by Ord. No. 708]
A.
Any person who violates any provision of this article, with the exception of § 380-50, and who fails to pay the fine set forth in § 380-51, shall be cited within 30 days of the violation and, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $15 and costs. The City Manager or his designee shall have sole discretion to waive fines and determination will be made on individual merit.
[Amended 2-23-2015 by Ord. No. 942]
B.
Any person who violates any provision of § 380-50 shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $600 and costs and, in default of payment of fine and costs, to imprisonment for not more than 30 days.
C.

By resolution, the City Council may temporarily suspend the provisions
of this article requiring coin deposit in meters and establishing

meters from those areas as previously installed there, and the provisions
of this article shall not apply in those areas where no-parking or
special-purpose parking is in effect.
