[Amended by Ord. No. 1335]
Parking meter zones shall be those as established by the Village Board and shown on the official Silver Spring business area parking regulation map pursuant to § 6-13, which map is hereby incorporated by reference herein. Parking time limits shall include the following categories and shall be so designated on the official parking regulation map:
The Village Manager shall mark off parking meter spaces in parking
meter zones as designated in this article or may hereafter be established,
and shall maintain said parking meter spaces.
The Village Manager shall cause parking meters to be installed
upon the curb, sidewalk or area immediately adjacent to the parking
meter space as designated in this article. The Village Manager shall
be responsible for the regulation, control, operation and maintenance
of such parking meters. The Chief of Police shall be responsible for
the proper use and collection of coins from such parking meters. Each
parking meter shall be set so as to display a signal showing legal
parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin or coins, lawful
money of the United States of America, for the period of time provided
in this article. Each parking meter shall be arranged so that, upon
the expiration of the lawful time for legal parking, it will indicate
by a proper visible signal that the lawful parking period has expired,
and in such cases, the right of such vehicle to occupy such space
shall cease and the operator or owner thereof shall be subject to
the penalties hereinafter provided.
A.
Except in a period of emergency as determined by an officer of the
Fire or Police Department or by the Village Manager, when any vehicle
shall be parked in any parking meter space adjacent 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 said parking meter such proper coin or coins of the United States
as is required for such parking meter as is designated by proper direction
on the meter. The operator of such vehicle, after the deposit of the
coin or coins, shall, if so required, also set in operation a timing
mechanism on such meter in accordance with the directions appearing
thereon. Failure to deposit such proper coin or coins and to set the
timing mechanism in operation when so required shall constitute a
violation of this section.
B.
Upon the deposit of such coin or coins and the setting of the timing
mechanism in operation when so required, the parking space may be
lawfully occupied by such vehicle during a period of time which has
been prescribed for the parking meter zone in which parking meter
space is located, provided that any person placing a vehicle in a
parking meter space adjacent to a parking meter which indicated that
unused time has been left in such parking meter by the previous occupant
of the parking meter space shall not be required to deposit a coin
so long as his occupancy of said parking meter space does not exceed
the indicated unused parking time.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1335]
A.
Parking a vehicle in a parking meter space in a parking meter zone
shall be lawful, provided that the operator shall cause to be deposited
in the parking meter adjacent to such parking meter space the amount
indicated for the time desired.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1716-A; at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 17, Village Code and Ordinances,
Art. I)]
B.
Parking meters shall be in operation as follows:
C.
Maximum parking time. It is intended, to facilitate the purposes as set forth in § 6-15, to limit parking to a maximum of two hours and 10 hours in each respective parking meter zones. Merely depositing additional coins in a parking meter will not make parking legal which is otherwise illegal as being beyond the stated maximum time. It is the specific intention of this chapter that no car shall park longer than two hours in a two-hour parking meter space or longer than 10 hours in a ten-hour parking meter space.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this section for the
operator of any vehicle:
A.
To cause, allow, permit or suffer any such vehicle to be parked overtime
or beyond the period of legal parking time established for any parking
meter zone as herein described, or to deposit in any parking meter
any coin for the purpose of parking beyond the maximum legal parking
time for the particular parking meter zone.
B.
To permit any such vehicle to remain or be placed in any parking
meter space adjacent to any parking meter while said meter is displaying
a signal indicating that the vehicle occupying such parking meter
space has already been parked beyond the period prescribed for such
parking meter space.
C.
To park any such 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.
D.
Or any other person to deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully
break, destroy or impair any parking meter installed under the provisions
of this section.
E.
Or any other person to deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking
meter any slugs, device or metal substance or other substitute for
lawful coins of the United States.
The Chief of Police shall enforce the provisions of this section.
The Chief of Police shall designate some member or members of the
Police Department to make regular collections of the money deposited
in said parking meters, and such persons so designated shall remove
from the parking meters the sealed containers therein containing the
coins so deposited in said parking meters and to deliver such sealed
containers with the seals unbroken to the Village Clerk-Treasurer;
provided, if any parking meters are not equipped with sealed containers,
such persons shall remove such coins and deliver them to the Clerk-Treasurer.
The Clerk-Treasurer shall break the seals, if any, and count the funds
contained therein.
The Clerk-Treasurer shall deposit said funds in a separate and
special fund to be known as "Parking Meter Fund." Said fund shall
be used to help defray the expense of the purchase, construction or
maintenance of off-street parking facilities.[1]
