[Added 4-11-2006 by Ord. No. 422]
The Town Council may from time to time authorize, by resolution, the
installation of parking meters in those places in the Town as the Council
may deem necessary. Contracts for these meters shall be so constructed as
to allow for the payment of meters from meter revenue and not from other Town
sources.
It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of any motor or other
vehicle to park that vehicle in violation of meter regulations between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., except on Sundays and Town-observed holidays,
on the streets designated as parking meter zones.
On streets or in municipal parking lots designated as meter zones, the
proper officers shall designate parking spaces on the curb or pavements or
by other appropriate means and in each space so marked shall erect or cause
to be erected a parking meter which, upon the deposit of a coin or combination
of coins of the United States indicated on the parking meter, will entitle
the party to park his or her car for a limited time as is indicated on the
parking meter, but in any event no longer than the period of time provided
in this article.
A person parking a vehicle in a metered parking space during the time
of limited parking shall deposit a coin or coins sufficient to pay for the
amount of time he or she intends to use the parking space. Parking rates and
maximum parking time limits shall be set from time to time by the Council.
If the vehicle shall remain parked in any parking space for any length of
time so that the meter shall indicate by a proper signal that the lawful parking
period has expired, the vehicle and its operator shall be considered as parking
overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this
article.
Any violation of this article shall be a municipal infraction subject to enforcement as described in § 127-6.
