The Traffic Authority of the city is hereby authorized to designate
and to set out a certain portion of the municipal parking lot on Caroline
Street as a parking rental zone and to designate the number of parking rental
spaces to be included within such zone.
Each such parking rental space so designated by the Traffic Authority
under the preceding section shall be available for public parking at the monthly
rental charge of $3, and such rental charge shall be paid to a duly authorized
agent to be designated by such Traffic Authority, which agent is authorized
to issue to each vehicle for which such rental charge is paid a sticker indicating
the registration number of the vehicle, the number of the parking rental space
and the date of issuance.
Such sticker, issued pursuant to §
186-21, shall not be transferable
to any other vehicle and it shall entitle such vehicle to be parked in the
rental space indicated thereon for a period of one calendar month from the
date of issuance, and it shall be automatically renewable thereafter from
month to month upon payment to the agent of the Traffic Authority, on or before
the last day of each calendar month, a like charge of $3 for the next succeeding
calendar month.
Upon failure of the holder of a sticker issued pursuant to §
186-21
to pay his rental charge for the next succeeding month on or before the last
day of the preceding month, such sticker shall be automatically revoked and
such vehicle or any operator of same shall have no further parking rights
or privileges thereunder; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be
construed as preventing the issuance of a new sticker to the same vehicle
after such revocation so long as the provisions of this article are otherwise
complied with.
Whenever any vehicle shall be parked in any parking rental space, the
operator of such vehicle shall park it within the lines or marks established,
except such vehicles whose length, width or load overlap the lines or marks.
If such vehicles shall be parked in any such parking rental space beyond the
time during which such vehicle or any operator of same shall have parking
rights and privileges under any sticker issued for such vehicle as provided
in this article, then, in such event, such vehicle parking time and such parking
overtime and beyond the period of legal parking time shall be deemed a violation
of this article.
So long as the sticker issued under §
186-21 shall be legally
operative as provided in this article, the operator of the vehicle exhibiting
such sticker on the front windshield of the vehicle shall be permitted to
park in the parking rental space assigned to it any time.
All revenues collected from the renting of parking spaces under this
article shall be collected by an agent to be designated by the Traffic Authority
under the supervision of the Chief of Police. Such funds shall periodically
be transferred by the Chief of Police to the City Treasurer to be placed by
him in a special account and to be used for the purpose specified in this
article.
The revenues received from the renting of the parking spaces are required
to provide for the proper regulation and control of traffic upon the public
streets in the city and to provide for the cost of acquisition of off-street
parking facilities in the city.
