of the City. The parking division is vested with all of the rights and powers
which are given to such parking divisions under Connecticut General Statutes,
§§ 7-202 through 7-212a, inclusive, and any powers which may
be given to parking divisions under future additions or amendments to such
General Statutes.
The name of the parking division created by § 7-109 shall
be the "Parking Division of the City of Derby." Wherever the words "Parking

the City of Derby.
[Amended 3-9-2006]
The Parking Division shall consist of five electors of the City, who
shall be appointed by the Mayor, not more than three of whom shall be of the
same political party. Those first appointed shall be designated to serve for
one-, two-, three-, four- and five-year terms, respectively, and thereafter
a member shall be appointed annually to serve for five years, except that
any vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired portion of the term in the same
manner as the original appointment. Such authority shall select from among
its members a Chairman and may employ necessary personnel. The members of
the Parking Division shall serve without compensation. No action of such Parking
Division shall be valid unless authorized by a vote of the majority of its
members. Such Parking Division shall maintain proper accounting and financial
records and shall make an annual report to the Mayor and Board of Alderman.
All revenues from parking meters located on public streets or on off-street
parking facilities with the City shall be paid to the Parking Division, and
such Parking Division shall have the duty of collection of the receipts from
such meters and the duty of maintenance and repair of all such meters. All
parking meters shall become the property of the Parking Division.
Revenues from parking meters under this Division shall be used for the
regulation and control of the parking of vehicles in parking meter zones,
for the cost of purchase, supervision, protection, inspection, installation,
operation, maintenance, control and use of parking meters and for acquiring
and maintaining off-street parking facilities or for any other purpose relating
to the parking of vehicles as may be permitted by law.
The Parking Division shall make a monthly report to the Board of Aldermen
of all parking meter revenues.
The Parking Division shall have authority to pledge the revenues received
from off-street and on-street parking meters in connection with its issuance
of revenue bonds authorized under Connecticut General Statutes, § 7-206,
as amended.
The Parking Division is authorized to establish off-street and on-street
metered parking zones as, in its judgment, may be required for the regulation
and control of the parking of vehicles within the City, subject to the approval
of the Board of Aldermen.
