RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF UKIAH ESTABLISHING
PARKING PERMIT REGULATIONS FOR
MUNICIPAL PARKING LOTS.
WHEREAS,
1. Ukiah City Code (UCC) Section 7351 authorizes the City
Council to adopt regulations establishing the method of regulating
parking in municipal parking lots; and
2. Parking permits provide an efficient means of controlling
parking in municipal lots to supplement the use of parking meters
in such lots;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED as follows:
I. Finance Director Authorized to Issue Per,its. The Finance
Director is authorized to issue parking permits for the following
municipal parking lots: A (adjacent to post office), B (adjacent to
phone company building), C (adjacent to Library), D (adjacent to
Dorsi's Auto Repair), and E (adjacent to Conference Center).
A. Pe~=,its issued on a periodic basis. Permits may be issued
on a monthly, semi-annual, annual or other periodic basis as
determined by the Finance Director.
B. Issuance and cancellation of right to pe&,Lit. The Finance
Director shall determine the number of permits available for each
municipal parking lot or assigned space. The City shall maintain
a list of permit applicants based on the date it received the
request or application for a permit. Permits shall be issued on a
first come, first served basis. Once an applicant receives a
permit, he or she shall continue to receive a permit for that lot
or space either until he or she notifies the City that he or she no
longer wants the permit, or if the applicant has failed to pay a
permit fee within thirty days of the payment date. If an applicant
forfeits the right to receive a permit as provided herein, the City
shall issue the permit to the next applicant on the list. An
applicant removed from the list under this subsection is not
prohibited from requesting another permit for the same or a
different lot or space, but his or her name shall appear on the
list based on the most recent date of request or application.
C. Fees established by resolution. Periodic fees for permits
shall be established by resolution of the City Council.

D. Payment of Fees and Validity of Per,its. Permits may be
issued in advance and become effective upon payment by an
established payment date of the required periodic fee, including
amounts owing for prior periods, or may be issued only upon payment
of the required fee.
1. If issued in advance, the permit shall indicate on
its face that it is not valid, unless the total balance owing,
including fees owing for prior periods, is paid in full by the
payment date shown on the permit. "Paid in full" means that the
payment has been received by the City Finance Department. If paid
by check, the check must have cleared. The canceled check is the
permittee's proof of the fact and date of payment. Such a permit
that has not been paid in full is not a valid city parking permit.
The City may refuse to provide an advance permit to any permittee
with a balance owing for a prior period.
2. If issued only upon payment, the City shall stamp the
permit as "Valid - Paid in Full." Such a permit not bearing the
required stamp is not a valid city parking permit. Any permit
bearing such a stamp shall become void immediately without notice
to the permittee, if the permittee pays by check and the check is
returned unpaid by the bank. The Finance Department shall endeavor
to notify permittees when checks bounce, but its failure to do so
shall not affect the invalidity of the permit. A permit may be
reinstated upon full payment of all fees and costs owing.
E. Contents of Permit.
following information:
The permit shall contain the
1. Name of parking lot for which permit issued;
2. Space number, if issued for a specific space;
3. Time period for which permit is effective;
4. The total amount which must be paid for the permit to
be valid;
5. The date by which payment must be made for permit to
be valid;
6. Such other information as determined by the Director
of Finance.
F. Parking authorized. A valid city parking permit entitles
the permittee to park a vehicle in the municipal lot or space for
which it is issued for the period covered by the periodic fee. The
permit must be properly displayed. "Properly displayed" means
displayed face up on the driver's side of the dashboard and clearly
visible through the vehicle's windshield.
1. A vehicle with a properly displayed valid city
parking permit issued for a municipal parking lot may park within
that lot in a metered space in lieu of paying the parking meter
fees and without regard to parking time or in a space posted for
"permit parking only."

2. In the discretion of the Director of Finance permits
may be issued for assigned spaces;
3. It shall be unlawful for any vehicle not properly
displaying a valid parking permit to park in a space posted for
"permit parking only." If permits are issued for assigned parking
spaces, it shall be unlawful for any vehicle not properly
displaying a valid parking permit for that assigned space to park
in a space posted for "assigned permit parking only." The operator
or owner of any such vehicle shall be subject to the penalty
provisions in UCC Section 7383.
4. Any other vehicle parking in a metered space must
comply with Article 2, Chapter 3 of Division 8 of the Ukiah City
Code, commencing with Section 7360, governing the allowed use of
metered spaces in municipal parking lots.
II. City Engineer to Post Signs. The City Engineer shall post
signs in accordance with UCC Sections 7062-7063 designating those
parking spaces designated for permit parking only. If permits are
issued for assigned parking spaces, the City Engineer shall post
signs for "assigned permit parking only" and number the spaces.
The restrictions imposed by this resolution shall only apply where
signs have been posted as provided herein.
