2. Permit Issuance: The village reserves the right to issue permits based upon rules which, in the opinion of the corporate authorities, further the public health, safety, comfort, morals and welfare of its citizens, and which, in the opinion of the corporate authorities, are in the best interests of the village. Such rules may include giving priority to village employees, village residents or any other group of persons determined appropriate by the corporate authorities of the village.
3. Fee Increase: The village reserves the right to increase the fee due for a parking permit at any time prior to the effective date of the permit. Notification of the increase and the effective date thereof shall be deemed given upon passage of the ordinance modifying the fee.
4. Payment Of Fee Difference Required: Holders of permits which are not yet effective at the time a fee increase ordinance is passed shall pay to the village the difference between the new fee and amount previously paid for the permit.

(b) Failure to pay for and obtain a parking permit by five o'clock (5:00) P.M. on the last business day of a quarter shall be deemed to be a forfeiture of the permittee's parking permit without further notice on the part of the village. However, if the permittee pays for and obtains the parking permit within the first five (5) business days of the quarter to which the permit applies, the business office manager, upon the payment of a late fee in the amount as established by Title 1, Chapter 20, “Fees, Fines, Insurance, Guarantees, and Regulatory Measures”, may reinstate and reissue the permit. Further, if the permittee pays for and obtains the parking permit within six (6) to fifteen (15) business days after the first day of the quarter to which it applies, the business office manager, upon the payment of a late fee in the amount as established by Title 1, Chapter 20, “Fees, Fines, Insurance, Guarantees, and Regulatory Measures”, may reinstate and reissue the permit. Upon the passage of fifteen (15) days following the first day of the quarter, the permittee forfeits all rights and privileges whatsoever in the permit and must reapply for a permit pursuant to subsection (D) of this section.
(c) Failure to pay to the village any increase in parking permit fees, as set forth in subsection (A)3 of this section, shall render the parking permit void.

The applicant must be the individual in whose name the permit will be issued.
