[Amended 12-11-2007 by Ord. No. 288-2007; 7-17-2024 by Ord. No. 2024-112]
A. 
Where parking meters/pay machines are installed on the streets and highways of the City, parking is permitted for two hours where meters/pay machines are installed, for a fee as set forth in Chapter 133, Fees.
B. 
When any vehicle shall be parked in any space alongside of or next to which a parking meter/pay machine is located, the operator or driver of said vehicle shall, upon entering said parking space, immediately deposit in the parking meter/pay machine alongside of or next to said parking space the required fee in coin of the United States as the case may be for parking and shall operate the handle necessary to start operation of the said meter/pay machine, if such meter/pay machine is manually operated; and said parking space may then be used by such vehicle during the parking limit provided for the part of the highway in which said parking space is located. If any vehicle shall remain parked at any such parking space beyond the time allowed by regulation posted on the meter/pay machine or on official signs, such vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime or beyond the period of time permitted in any such part of a highway where a meter/pay machine is located shall be deemed a violation of this article.
C. 
The parking of any motor vehicle at a parking meter/pay machine for more than the parking limit indicated on the meter/pay machine or an official sign is prohibited. The parking of any motor vehicle for more than the parking limit, regardless of whether or not the parking meter/pay machine at which such vehicle may be parked displays an overtime signal, shall be prima facie evidence that such vehicle is parked in violation.

A. 
It shall be unlawful and an offense for any person to permit a vehicle to remain parked in any parking space alongside of or next to which any parking meter/pay machine is placed while said meter/pay machine is displaying a signal showing that such vehicle shall have already parked beyond the period of time fixed by this chapter or any other ordinance of the City for such parking space.
B. 
Where tickets are issued for violation of this section under the charges of meter parking or overtime parking, the fine indicated on the ticket shall be $20 instead of the full fine, if paid in person at the courthouse by 4:30 p.m. the next business day; or $15 if paid at a municipal pay station on the same day.
