(a) The city manager is hereby authorized and directed to cause parking meters to be installed, placed and maintained within the parking meter zones as traffic conditions require. Such meters shall be placed upon the curb alongside or next to individual parking spaces to be designated as provided for in section 19-164. The city manager or such officials or other persons as he may select shall provide for the installation, regulation, control, operation and use of the parking meters provided for in this section and shall maintain such meters in good working condition.
(b) Each parking meter shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon the deposit of the fee as established by the city council from time to time in its fees and charges manual. Each parking meter shall also be so arranged that, upon the expiration of the parking limits, it will indicate by mechanical operation and proper signal that the lawful parking periods have expired.
