A. The parking regulations set forth in this chapter shall be enforced by the city’s police officers and the city’s parking enforcement officers. For parking violations occurring within one thousand feet of any city park, the parking regulations may also be enforced by the city’s park rangers. However, it shall be the primary responsibility of the parking enforcement officers to enforce this chapter, as well as any other parking regulations adopted by the city.

B. Failure to perform any act required or the performance of any act prohibited by this chapter is designated as a parking infraction unless otherwise provided.

C. City police officers and city parking enforcement officers have the authority to issue a notice of parking infraction when the parking infraction is committed in the officer’s presence.

D. In addition to city parking enforcement officers and city police officers, city park rangers have the authority to issue a notice of parking infraction when the parking infraction is committed in the park ranger’s presence and the parking infraction is committed within one thousand feet of any city park.

E. If any vehicle is found parked, standing or stopped in violation of this chapter or otherwise violates the provisions of this chapter, the officer or park ranger finding the vehicle shall take its registration (license) number and may take any other information displayed on the vehicle which may identify its user, and shall conspicuously affix to the vehicle a notice of parking infraction. A notice of parking infraction represents a determination that a parking violation has been committed. The determination will be final unless contested as provided in this chapter.

F. Those responsible for the enforcement of the parking regulations of the city shall, and are authorized to, identify such vehicles parked, standing or stopped from time to time to aid in the enforcement of this chapter. Such identification may be by electronic recording of the vehicle license plate, chalk upon the vehicle tires, or by some other convenient method but will not be injurious to or damage such vehicle. Any physical marks so placed shall not be interfered with, concealed, obliterated or erased by any person other than a police officer, parking enforcement officer or, in the case of city parks, a park ranger while the same shall remain parked or standing at the place where so marked. It shall constitute a parking infraction to interfere with, conceal, obliterate or erase any mark or other identification in violation of this chapter.
