A. Parking meters on municipally owned parking lots, when installed and properly operated, shall show legal parking upon and after the deposit of United States coins, and in the nonmetered parking lots, parking spaces shall be reserved in accordance with the following schedules:
1. On parking lots no. 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10, the amount of fee shall be displayed on each parking meter and shall indicate the period of time allowed for the particular United States coin deposit after meter has been placed in operation. The maximum parking time allowed shall be indicated on the parking meter assigned to the meter space to which it applies.
2. For municipal parking lots, the days and hours of reserved parking for nonmetered spaces shall be designated by the city manager.

The city manager shall keep the city council informed of the hours of opening and closing thereof or any change of such hours. It is intended hereby that regular service hours shall be established for the operation of the parking lots, but in addition, permit such flexibility in the established hours so that the municipal parking lots can be operated according to service demand, special events, and holiday shopping requirements.

The owner or operator of any vehicle who shall receive notice either personally or by the attaching of such notice to said vehicle if said vehicle is parked in violation of this section shall, when such notice is served upon such owner or operator or attached to said vehicle, pay to the city treasurer as a penalty for such violation the sum of fifteen dollars ($15.00) and after thirty (30) days a sum of twenty dollars ($20.00).
