Pursuant to the General Municipal Law of the

parking areas hereinafter set forth.
The designated areas of these permit parking
lots shall be located on the north side of Millpond Parkway and on
the easterly side of Spring Street, the Millpond Parkway parking lot
being an area presently used for municipal parking containing approximately
104 parking spaces and the area on Spring Street being an area presently
used for municipal parking containing approximately 28 parking spaces.
The said parking lots shall be devoted exclusively,
under a permit system, to the residents of the Village of Monroe and
the Town of Monroe; under a joint agreement and resolution with the
Town of Monroe, parking in these areas shall be by permit only, limited
to the residents of the Village of Monroe and the Town of Monroe.
Permits shall be issued to residents of the
Village of Monroe and the Town of Monroe on an annual basis covering
the fiscal year from June 1 to May 31 of the following year. Permits
shall be issued on a first come, first served basis and the Village
of Monroe and Town of Monroe reserve the right to deny a permit to
anyone after all parking spaces in the designated areas have been
duly allocated. The applicant, upon due proof of residence to the
Village Clerk of the Village of Monroe shall be issued such permit
which must be exhibited at all times in full view on the vehicle's
front windshield adhering thereto. The permit may be secured during
regular office hours in the Village Hall of the Village of Monroe.
The fee for such permit shall be $12 per annum,
per vehicle, payable to the Village of Monroe.
The Town of Monroe shall not be liable for or
responsible for the safekeeping of any vehicles or any damages whatsoever
that may be done to any vehicles or arising from the parking of any
vehicles in the designated permit parking areas herein. Parking, therefore,
in such areas shall be at the applicant's own risk.
The designated areas and parking therein, pursuant
to this article, shall be subject to continuous rules and regulations
governing the operation and maintenance of such parking areas as set
forth by the Village of Monroe and Town of Monroe, from time to time.

separate violation. In addition, the Village of Monroe and the Town
of Monroe shall have the authority to remove any violating vehicle
from the designated parking areas by having said vehicle towed away.
The towing charges shall be charged to the violator, in addition to
any other penalty set forth herein.
As used herein the term "resident of the Town
of Monroe" shall mean any person, whether or not he is over the age
of 18 years, who maintains or occupies a fixed, permanent and principal
home in the Town of Monroe, including the Village of Monroe but excluding
the Village of Kiras Joel and the Village of Harriman, and to which
he, wherever temporarily located, always intends to return.
