C. A vehicle properly displaying a monthly, overnight, and weekend permit may be parked in designated areas of the city-owned or operated lots and parking facilities from the hours of 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. daily, provided all applicable fees have been paid.

D. A schedule of fees associated with the overnight and weekend permits shall be adopted by resolution and may be amended from time to time based upon the actual costs of performing such services and if found to be reasonable.

E. Monthly, overnight, and weekend permits shall not be valid unless properly displayed with all alpha and numeric characters, location designations and expiration dates in clear view.

Where parking spaces or stalls are appropriately posted to indicate that parking is restricted to a certain use or vehicle, all monthly, overnight, and weekend permit parking holders must conform to the posted restrictions. Unless posted otherwise, restricted parking spaces shall be enforced twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week.

J. This section does not interfere with other or existing laws allowing the city to regulate parking in city owned or operated off-street parking lots and facilities within the city, including the authority to restrict non-permitted overnight parking; provided such designations comply with signage requirements under California Vehicle Code section 22519.

K. For any violation of any provision of this section, the chief of police, or his/her designee is hereby empowered to issue due notices to appear or citations, in the usual form and manner, as provided in the California Vehicle Code.
