[Ord. 47-2000-2001, passed 12-28-2001]
The Director of Public Works-City Engineer is hereby directed and authorized to mark off individual parking meter spaces in the parking zones designated and described in Section 513.02 and in such other zones as may hereafter be established, such parking spaces to be designated by lines painted or durably marked on the curbing or surface of the street. At each space so marked off, no person shall park any vehicle in such a way that such vehicle shall not be entirely within the limits of the space so designated.
[Ord. 47-2000-2001, passed 12-28-2001]
(a)
In such parking meter zones, the Director of Public Works-City Engineer shall direct parking meters to be installed upon the curb or sidewalk immediately adjacent to the parking spaces provided in Section 513.04, such installation to be placed not more than two feet from the curb or more than four feet from the front line or rear line of the parking space as indicated.
(b)
The Director of Public Works-City Engineer, acting through the Traffic
Superintendent, shall be responsible for the operation, maintenance
and use of such parking meters. The Mayor, acting through the Bureau
of Police, shall be responsible for the regulation and control of
such parking meters. Each device shall be so set as to display a time
indicator showing legal parking upon the deposit of the approximate
coin or coins, lawful money of the United States for the period of
time prescribed by this article. Each device shall be so arranged
that upon the expiration of the lawful time limit, it will indicate
by a proper visible time expired signal that the lawful parking period
has expired. In such cases, the right of such vehicle to occupy such
spaces shall cease, and the operator, owner, possessor or manager
thereof shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
[Ord. 72-1986, 87 § 1, passed 12-7-1987]
(a)
Except in periods of emergency determined by an officer of the Bureau
of Police or Fire, or in compliance with the direction of a police
officer, 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 the meter such proper coin of
the United States, as is required for such parking meter and is designated
by proper directions on the meter. When required by the directions
on the meter, the operator of such vehicle, or after the deposit of
the proper coin or coins, shall also set in operation the timing mechanism
on such meter in accordance with directions properly appearing thereon.
Failure to deposit such proper coin and to set the timing mechanism
in operation when so required shall constitute a violation of this
article.
(b)
Upon the deposit of such coin (and the setting of the timing mechanism
in operation when so required), 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 and the parking meter zone in
which such 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 the space does not exceed the indicated unused parking
time. If the vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space
beyond the parking time limit set for such 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 determined
a violation of this article.
[Ord. 72-1986, 87 § 1, passed 12-7-1987; Ord. 40-2006, 07 § 1, passed 11-26-2007; Ord. 9-2008, 09 § 2,
passed 9-22-2008]
The coins of the United States required to be deposited by the
operator of a motor vehicle occupying a parking meter space in the
parking meter installed adjacent to such space shall be as follows
with respect to the parking meter zones:
[Ord. 72-1986, 87 § 1, passed 12-7-1987]
No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter any coin for the purpose of increasing or extending the parking time of any vehicle beyond one legal parking period as established in Section 513.02, for the parking space adjacent to such parking meter.
[Ord. 72-1986, 87 § 1, passed 12-7-1987]
The coins deposited in parking meters are hereby levied and
assessed as fees and are required and shall be used to defray the
expenses of proper regulation of traffic upon the public streets of
the City, to provide for the use 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 parking meters.
[Ord. 47-2000, 01, passed 12-28-2001]
It shall be the duty and the responsibility of the Mayor, acting
through the Bureau of Police, to enforce the provisions of this article.
In case of emergency, any of the provisions of this article may be
temporarily suspended by the Mayor, who shall then have the authority
to adopt and enforce such other temporary rules and regulations as
traffic conditions may demand or require.
[Ord. 72-1986, 87 § 1, passed 12-7-1987]
(a)
In addition to certain acts of omission or commission hereinbefore
declared to be in violation of this article, no person shall:

Permit any vehicle to remain or be placed in any parking space
adjacent to any parking meter while such meter is displaying a signal
indicating that the vehicle occupying such parking space has already
been parked beyond the period prescribed for such parking space;
(2)
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;
(3)
Deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy
or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the
provisions of this article; or
(4)

device or metal substance, or any other substitute for lawful coins.
[Ord. 72-1986, 87 § 1, passed 12-7-1987]
Nothing in this article shall be construed as prohibiting the
City from providing for bus stops, taxicab stands and other matters
of similar nature, including the loading and unloading of trucks,
vans or other vehicles.
[Ord. 9-2008, 09 § 3, passed 9-22-2008]
The purpose of this section is to allow for the test and experimental
determination of the feasibility and desirability of permanent changes
in the ordinances of the City relative to placement of parking meters,
and to allow for the temporary replacement of meters during maintenance
and repair of existing meters. The Mayor may, from time to time, designate
the placement of alternate parking meters within the designated parking
meter zones for a period of not more than 90 days. Any changes to
the time limitations of parking meters within any City parking meter
zone, other than as set forth in this section, shall require a duly
enacted ordinance. The Mayor shall provide written notice to Lebanon
City Council within five days of the change.
[Ord. 47-2000, 01, passed 12-28-2001]
(a)
Any person violating any of the provisions of this article shall
be fined not less than $25 nor more than $100 and/or be imprisoned
not more than five days.
(b)
However, any person who has been issued a parking violation ticket
may discharge such obligation upon appearance at the Office of Tax
Collection and voluntarily enter a plea of guilty by paying $10 within
the first 10 calendar days from the time of issuance of the violation
ticket, or by paying $20 from the 11th through 20th calendar days
from the time of issuance of the violation ticket.
