§ 18-47

By resolution, the City Council may establish administrative guidelines for the consideration of the designation of designated employee parking permit areas to maintain the accessibility and availability of convenient public parking for customers and visitors in Oakdale.

• (a) A registered vehicle shall be permitted to stand or be parked in the designated employee parking permit area for which the permit has been issued with limited time restrictions established pursuant to this article or any administrative guidelines adopted hereunder. Any vehicle that has not been issued a valid employee parking permit shall be subject to the employee parking permit regulation and consequent penalties in effect for such designated employee parking permit areas.

• (b) An employee parking permit shall not guarantee or reserve to the holder thereof an on-street parking space within the designated employee parking permit area.

• (c) This article shall not be interpreted or applied in a manner that shall abridge or alter regulations established by authority other than this article.

• (a) The City Council shall establish administrative guidelines for the issuance of permits for employee vehicles to utilize designated employee parking permit areas consistent with the requirements of this article and any ordinance or resolutions adopted by the City Council.
