report is made by the enforcement official noting the initial violation
as prescribed above and noting each additional violation for each
subsequent twenty-four-hour period or any portion thereof as they
transpire.
(g)
A presumption to a clear, satisfactory and convincing degree
that each such violation has occurred shall be established at the

official and shall be overcome only at such time as the owner or operator
of the vehicle provides evidence to indicate that the contents of
such written report is no longer clear, satisfactory and convincing.
(h)
No person shall deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully
break, destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed
under the provisions of this section.

twenty-four-hour period or any portion thereof that the vehicle remains
continuously parked subsequent to the initial violation as a penalty
for and in full satisfaction of such violation. The penalty may be

attached to the parking meters located in the metered parking area
closest to the pedestrian crosswalk between the metered parking area
and the terminal or by mailing the penalty to or paying the penalty
at the Airport Manager's office in the terminal within the same
five-day period.
(d)
For the purposes of this section, a separate and additional
violation shall be deemed to have occurred for each additional twenty-four-hour
period of time or any portion thereof that the vehicle remains parked
in the employee parking area, permit parking area or prohibited parking
area.
(e)
If a vehicle remains parked in the employee parking area, permit parking area or prohibited parking area for in the excess of 48 hours beyond the time when the initial written report of the violation was made as prescribed above, the owner or operator thereof shall be deemed to have left the vehicle unattended and to have abandoned the same and the vehicle shall be subject to being towed away pursuant to the provisions of §
