From time to time by resolution or local law, the Town Board

use of the parking lots.
From time to time, the Town Administrator, Superintendent of
Highways or Chief of Police, may designate certain areas within the
parking lots for such parking as the needs of the community may require.
No motor vehicle shall be parked in any parking lot unless the
Town Clerk shall have issued a permit allowing the motor vehicle to
be parked in a particular parking lot and the permit holder shall
have attached the insignia to the motor vehicle in accordance with
the instructions given to the permit holder by the Town Clerk.
A.
There shall be five types of permits for parking in the parking lots:
daytime meter parking permits, daytime non-meter parking permits,
overnight parking permits, twenty-four-hour parking permits, and area
business parking permits.
B.
Application for a permit shall be made to the Town Clerk upon such
form as prescribed by the Town Clerk.
C.
Except for semiannual permits, each permit shall be effective for
a twelve-month period from the effective date established by the Town
Board, or for semiannual permits, shall be effective for a six-month
period from the effective date set forth by the Town Board.
D.
The Town Board from time to time by resolution or local law may create
such other types of parking permits or create such other rules for
parking in the parking lots as it may determine to be necessary.

that the Town Clerk may issue permits to both residents and nonresidents

B.
The Town Clerk shall keep a record of the number of each permit issued,
the date it is issued, the name and address of the person to whom
it is issued, the numbers, words or letters appearing on the license
plate of the motor vehicle or vehicles for which the permit is issued
and the letter designation of the parking lot for which that permit
is issued. The Town Clerk shall maintain a record of all permit fees
collected.
C.
The Town Clerk shall not issue a twenty-four-hour permit to a person
if another person in the applicant's household already is the holder
of a twenty-four-hour permit. The preceding sentence shall not apply
to persons who held permits issued prior to April 17, 2002. Such permits
may be renewed even if two or more permit holders are members of the
same household. For the purpose of this subsection, the term "household"
shall mean one or more persons living together as a single housekeeping
unit.
D.
Each permit shall entitle only the motor vehicle or vehicles listed
in the permit application to be parked in the parking lot for which
such permit is issued. A daytime meter permit or a daytime non-meter
permit shall authorize either one of two motor vehicles to be parked
in the parking lot for which such permit is issued, and the insignia
associated with that permit shall contain the numbers, words or letters
appearing on the license plate of each motor vehicle specified on
the permit application. At the permit holder's discretion, the insignia
can be moved from one motor vehicle to the other at any time; however,
under no circumstances can both motor vehicles specified on the permit
application be parked at the same time in the same parking lot, except
at times when parking in such parking lot is unrestricted.
E.
The Town Clerk shall revoke a permit if the Town Clerk, acting reasonably,
determines that such permit was issued based upon false information
or was otherwise issued or used improperly or the insignia is altered.
The Town Clerk shall mail written notice of the revocation to the
person to whom such permit was issued at the address for such person
that appears on the application for the permit being revoked. The
revocation shall be effective on the third business day after the
notice is mailed. The permit holder shall return the permit to the
Town Clerk's office. The failure to do so shall be a violation of
this section. A revoked permit may be reinstated by curing the underlying
basis for the revocation and the payment of a fee that is triple the
amount of the fee for the permit.
The Town Clerk, upon issuing a permit, shall issue an insignia
to the permit holder and instruct the permit holder where the insignia
is required to be placed within the motor vehicle. The type, size
and form of the insignia shall be determined from time to time by
the Town Clerk; however, the insignia shall bear the permit number
assigned, the numbers, words or letters appearing on the license plate
of the motor vehicle or vehicles for which the permit is issued, the
words "Town of Mamaroneck," the parking lot for which the permit is
issued and the expiration date of the permit.
A permit may be renewed if an application to renew is made and
the required fee paid no later than a date specified annually by the
Town Clerk, which date shall be prior to the expiration date of such
permit. The Town Clerk may refuse to renew any permit for which the
required fee is not paid on or before the last day specified for payment.
The Town Clerk shall refuse to issue a permit to any person whose
prior usage of any permit has been deemed by the Town Board to be
an abuse of the privileges granted by such permit.
B.
Upon the transfer of title of a motor vehicle for which a permit
has been issued, the insignia shall be removed and returned to the
Town Clerk's Office. Upon proper application and payment of a required
fee, a replacement insignia shall be issued for the unexpired term
of the original permit. Under no circumstances shall the fee for the
unexpired term be refunded.
Any person violating any provision of this article shall be guilty of a violation and shall be subject to the fine for such violation contained in § 219-88.
