(A) It shall be the duty of every person operating a parking lot or garage in the city to issue, to all persons who seek the privilege of parking a motor vehicle, a distinctive ticket or sticker in the form and manner provided by this section. Tickets and stickers shall be kept in numerical sequence.
(B) Unless the parking lot or garage is equipped with an automated ticket dispenser which triggers the opening of a gate that otherwise prevents access to the parking lot or garage by motor vehicles, tickets shall consist of three parts: one part shall be issued by the operator to each recipient; the second part shall be retained by the operator, who shall indicate on the back thereof the time of arrival and departure of the motor vehicle; and the third part shall be attached to the vehicle parked for the purpose of identification. All three-part tickets shall contain identical serial numbers on each part of the ticket. Every ticket issued by an operator shall contain the name of the operator of the parking lot or garage, the address of the parking lot or garage upon or in which the motor vehicle is parked and a statement as to whether the parking service rendered is on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. The operator shall retain all tickets for the same length of time as other books and records as provided by this chapter.
(C) Every person who operates a parking lot or garage in the city shall, in addition to issuing tickets as required by this section, require a sticker to be affixed upon each motor vehicle that is permitted to be parked on a weekly or monthly basis, or other basis longer than one day. Each sticker shall show the name of the operator and the address of the parking lot or garage upon or in which the motor vehicle is parked; an identification number, in sequence, to be placed on motor vehicles to be parked; the number of the license plate of the motor vehicle and the issuing state; and an indication as to whether parking is on a weekly, monthly or other basis longer than one day and as to the starting and ending dates of the week, month or other period.
(D) The operator shall keep a book record of all stickers issued, showing the date of issuance, the identification number of the sticker and the total parking charge imposed. The operator shall remove or cause to be removed and voided all stickers at the end of the week, month or other applicable period and shall cause a new sticker to be affixed upon the motor vehicle at the beginning of each new period, with recordation thereof also placed in the operator’s book. The operator shall retain all voided stickers for the same length of time as other books and records as provided by this chapter.
