or on a street or highway where there is located a pay station or
kiosk, the operator or driver shall, upon entering said parking space,
immediately deposit the appropriate payment as required in Schedule
XXVI. If any vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime or beyond
the time fixed, and parking of a vehicle overtime or beyond the time
fixed in any such part of a lot, street or highway where such payment
station or kiosk is located shall be deemed a violation of this article
and shall be punishable as hereinafter set forth.
Payment for municipal parking at a pay station or kiosk shall
be made referencing the plate number of the vehicle. Additionally,
users may likewise have the opportunity to make payment by utilizing
the Village's authorized mobile payment application or such other
future new payment technologies that may be introduced and authorized
by the Village Manager.
It shall be unlawful and an offense for any person to permit
a vehicle to remain parked in any parking space in a parking lot,
street or highway served by a pay station or kiosk where such and
other authorized payment devices display a signal or notice showing
that such vehicle shall have already parked beyond the period of time
fixed for such parking space.
The payments required herein are levied as police regulation
and inspection fees to cover the cost of installation, operation,
maintenance, policing and supervision of pay stations or kiosks and
the enforcement of the provisions of this article, the adoption of
which is deemed necessary for the regulation and control of traffic.
It shall be the duty of the Village Manager to designate some

or employees of the Village of Port Chester to make regular collections
of the money deposited in pay stations or kiosks. The designated member
or employee shall, in the presence of an employee of the Finance Department,
witness the counting of the payments received from such meters, which
shall then be deposited on a timely basis in the designated depository
to the credit of the General Fund.
