Any contractor or vendor shall derive its entire compensation by collecting a fee from purchasers of permits, which, for physical residential parking daily permits, shall not exceed $1.00 per sheet of 15 permits; and for electronic residential parking daily permits, shall not exceed $5.00 per sheet of 15 permits (for purposes of this section, "fee"); provided, however, no contractor or vendor shall charge any fee for selling annual residential zone parking permits. All proceeds from the sale of the permits by any contractor or vendor, but not including the fee, shall be deposited by the contractor or vendor into a city account in a depository designated by the city council as an approved depository, no later than four business days after the contractor or vendor receives payment from the purchaser of the permit.
The City Clerk may enter into service contracts for the sale of residential zone parking permits in conjunction with service contracts for the sale of wheel tax license emblems.

Any sale of permits by a contractor or vendor shall be conditioned upon (i) verifying that the purchasers of the permits have submitted complete and correct information as required by the City Clerk; and (ii) receiving payment of the applicable permit fee set forth in Section 9-68-020. A contractor or vendor shall conduct all sales of permits in accordance with Section 9-68-020 and any applicable rules promulgated by the City Clerk.
(c) Rules and fine for violations. The City Clerk is authorized to adopt such rules as the City Clerk may deem appropriate for the proper administration and enforcement of this section. Any contractor or vendor that violates this section or any rules promulgated pursuant to this section shall be fined $200.00 for the first offense and $1,000.00 for any second or subsequent offense occurring within one year of the first offense. Each such violation shall constitute a separate and distinct offense.

The provisions of this section and any rules promulgated thereunder may be enforced by designated employees of the office of the City Clerk or by members of the police department.
