No operator shall operate a commercial parking place without obtaining for each parking place an annual license from the Finance Director. Any person who intends to begin operating a commercial parking place shall obtain such license before beginning such operation. At each parking place, the operator shall display the license in a conspicuous location at all times. Such licenses shall not be transferable between one operator and another or between one parking place and another. Any operator who ceases to operate a parking place shall notify the Finance Department and return the license applicable thereto.
(Ord. 4321. Passed 11-22-83.)
Each operator shall maintain, separately with respect to each parking place, complete and accurate records of transactions and of gross receipts from all transactions. Each operator shall issue to the person paying consideration written evidence of such transactions or classes of transactions as the Finance Director may prescribe by regulations. Where consideration in a transaction is not separately stated, the operator shall maintain such evidence and records as are necessary to segregate the consideration applicable to the transaction. Each operator shall afford the Finance Director and his or her designated employees and agents access to all such records and evidence at all reasonable times and shall provide verification of the same as the Finance Director may require.
(Ord. 4321. Passed 11-22-83.)
Each operator, upon forms prescribed by the Finance Director, shall file, on or before January 31, April 30, July 31, and October 31 of each year, returns showing gross receipts received with respect to each parking place during the respective three-month period ending on the last day of the month preceding the month in which the return due date occurs. At the time of filing the return, the operator shall pay to the Finance Director all taxes due for the period to which the return applies.
