(B) Parking permits.
(1) Residents and/or merchants residing or doing business on any street upon which parking is prohibited by this section or any accompanying resolution of the City Council may apply to the Chief of Police or a designee thereof to obtain a permit or permits exempting such persons and/or their guests from such parking restrictions on a street or streets designated in the permit. Each application shall be submitted on a form approved by the Chief of Police and accompanied by satisfactory evidence that the applicant is a resident, merchant, or guest entitled to a permit and the required fee as established by resolution of the City Council.
(2) Each permit for residents and merchants shall be valid for one calendar year from the date of issuance so long as the permittee remains qualified to receive the permit and the permit has not been revoked. Permits for guests can be obtained for a period of up to 30 days or for a period of 24 hours. Permits may be renewed upon application in a manner consistent with the initial application process as determined by the Chief of Police. The Chief of Police may revoke a permit for cause including, without limitation, repeated violations of applicable parking restrictions, failure to pay city parking citations, or falsifying information in permit application. Any permit revocation may be appealed to the City Manager or his designee and any decision on appeal shall be final. Permits for residents and merchants shall be prominently displayed by hanging the permit from the rear view mirror, or in such other matter as may be directed by the Chief of Police or designee. Any vehicle parked or left standing in violation of this section will be subject to citation, and may be removed.
