(A) The Parking Authority may designate times for parking lots and parking garages within the city which are owned and/or maintained by the Parking Authority or its designee. The Parking Authority shall adopt regulations concerning parking lots and parking garages. A list of all parking lots and parking garages shall be maintained by the Parking Authority and be made available to the public upon request.
(B) Nothing in this subchapter shall be interpreted to mean that parking meters are required to be installed at every available location or within any designated Parking Meter Zone and, any parking meter, whether currently existing or later installed, may, at the discretion of the Parking Authority, and subject to the approval of the City Board of Commissioners, be removed if it is determined that the meter or meters are not necessary or practical to regulate and control vehicular traffic at the existing location.
(C) The Parking Authority, or its designee, is hereby authorized and directed to repair, replace, and maintain all authorized parking meters and to install wherever appropriate to carry the provisions of this subchapter into effect, instructions for use of meter, signs and/or pavement markings to indicate the correct parking space adjacent to each parking meter.
(D) All authorized parking meters shall be placed adjacent to individual parking spaces and shall be placed so as to display a signal that shall indicate by a mechanical operation the unexpired time which has been paid for and whether the time paid for has expired. In the alternative, where parking meters have been installed in a parking lot or parking garage or in an area where parking meters in the form of pay stations are utilized to regulate on-street parking, any such parking meters shall be placed in an area that is conveniently accessed by individuals who are parking vehicles within any such parking lot, parking garage, or on-street parking.
