(a) The Bureau of Parking shall direct the installation of parking meters in the zones established as provided in this chapter upon the curb immediately adjacent to each designated parking space. Such meters shall be capable of being operated either automatically or mechanically upon the deposit therein of the required coin of United States currency for the full period of time for which parking is lawfully permitted. As new parking technology is made available to the Bureau of Parking, additional payment options may be allowed at the discretion of the City Manager and/or his or her designee.
(b) Each parking meter shall be so designed, constructed, installed and set that it will indicate, by an appropriate signal, how much of the lawful parking period remains after the deposit of the coin or coins required, and also indicate, by an appropriate signal, upon the expiration of the time period registered by deposit of one or more coins, as provided herein, that the lawful parking meter period has expired. Rates for said meters will be established by resolution of City Council and amended from time to time.
(c) Each parking meter shall bear thereon a legend indicating the days and hours when the requirement to deposit coins therein shall apply, the value of the coins to be deposited and the limited period of time for which parking is lawfully permitted in the parking meter zone in which such meter is located.
