§ 12-132. Deactivation; reservation.

(a)

In the event any parking meter or other device, or timed parking is temporarily deactivated by an appropriate act or agent of the city by the placement of a bag over the head or by other means indicating removal from service, then the requirements and provisions of this division shall not apply during the time of such intentional deactivation by the city.

(b)

Deactivation by businesses during special events may be granted upon request to the manager or his designee, when not in conflict with any city purpose and if not in conflict with police, fire or public works purposes, and receipt of payment of $10.00 per space impacted per 24-hour period. No booths, tables, signs, commercial activities or consumption of alcohol, or gathering of people may occupy the parking space. No other activity may take place upon the space other than parking. No payment for parking in a deactivated space may be charged by the business, nor may spaces be considered reserved only for the patrons of the business.

(c)

Deactivation by individuals for special events or in connection with use of public facilities, such as festivals or weddings, may be granted upon request to the manager or his designee, when not in conflict with any city purpose and if not in conflict with police, fire or public works purposes, and receipt of payment of $10.00 per space impacted per 24-hour period. When deactivated in connection with a facility use permit, the parking space is considered reserved by the individual, and not for public parking.

(d)

Deactivation without charge at places of worship during for one hour following regularly scheduled worship services and accessory services of weddings and funerals may be accomplished with or without bagging at the discretion of the chief of police with reasonable notice of such need, and provided that the deactivation does not conflict with a necessary public purpose of traffic control due to its time, place or manner of application.
