(A) On any commercial parking lot where booting is used there shall be a method by which any person who pays for parking receives a receipt showing the date and time when payment was made for such parking. Such receipt shall either be issued by a person stationed at the commercial parking lot, by a machine that issues a paper receipt upon payment, or by a credit card payment method which allows payment by mobile phone where the receipt is logged in four different formats: text message, e-mail, bank statement, and the booting service's database. If the receipt is placed inside the vehicle so that it is visible from the outside, the vehicle shall not be booted or otherwise immobilized.
(B) The booting service shall provide a receipt unless the booting service demonstrates to the city that it meets the following requirements:
(1) The booting service provides the credit card payment method described in subsection (A) above;
(2) The booting service implements and adheres to a policy of issuing a warning to a vehicle for parking without payment, and does not attach a boot to a vehicle unless and until three prior written warnings have been issued to that vehicle on three separate occasions;
(3) The booting service maintains electronic records of all warnings issued to vehicles, which shall include the date, time and location of the warning for each license plate number;
(4) The booting service does not attach a boot to a vehicle unless the booting service can demonstrate by the records it maintains that the vehicle has received three prior written warnings for parking without payment; and
(5) The booting service provides a process for resolving a protest of a warning or the attachment of a boot to a vehicle, which process is set forth in writing and displayed in a conspicuous and well-lit location on the site of the commercial parking lot.
