§ 2155.055. Fees for parking meters out of service.

Whenever a parking meter is temporarily removed from service by hooding or by actual removal for later replacement, due to sidewalk repair, construction or other reason, the person or entity requesting such removal shall be required to pay a fee for each meter day that the parking meter is out of service. Such fee is to be determined by and shall not exceed the actual revenue loss to the city. Such actual revenue loss shall be determined by the parking meter rate in effect on the day that the meter is removed from service and shall be equivalent to the revenue amount that the parking meter would generate if used continuously during the hours of enforcement for every meter day that the parking meter is out of service. A waiver of the above-noted requirement shall be granted to downtown special events by the service director upon his/her receipt of satisfactory proof that the following conditions are met:

(1)

That the sponsoring organization of a downtown special event be not-for-profit,

(2)

That the function be not-for-profit,

(3)

That the function be open to the public and

(4)

That the function be held without admission charge. Should it be necessary to remove and reinstall a parking meter post or otherwise remove a parking meter from service by hooding or by other means and restore the same, an additional fee shall be charged which reflects the cost entailed by the city for such removal and restoration or reinstallation. These fees shall be established by the service director, collected by the director's designee, and deposited to the general fund.
