Additional parking time may be purchased in ten-hour increments up to a maximum of two hundred (200) hours. The card does not guarantee the holder a parking space. Lost or stolen cards will not be replaced.

    (d)

    Lawful Parking.

The charge for the use of any meter for a fraction of the time designated thereon shall be the same as if the meter had been used for the full-time period. Failure to deposit such coins or display a valid kiosk receipt as prescribed shall constitute a violation of this ordinance.

    (e)

    Illegal Parking. A person shall not permit or cause a vehicle registered in his/her name or operated by him/her to remain in a parking space adjacent to a parking meter or pay and display area, when the meter is displaying a violation signal or the kiosk receipt has expired. A person shall be deemed to have committed separate offense for the original violation of this section and for each 120-minute period thereafter that he/she permits or causes a vehicle to be parked in violation of this section.

    (f)

    Use of Slugs in Meters or Parking Time Registration Machines Prohibited. It shall be unlawful to deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter or parking time registration machine any slug, device, or substitute for a proper coin or currency of the United States.
