this section, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon placing such
vehicle in such parking space, immediately deposit funds which are

funds and placing in the pay station for the parking space, the parking
space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of
parking time which has been prescribed for the parking space location.
If such vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond
the parking time fixed for such parking space, the pay station will
indicate such illegal parking, and such vehicle shall be construed
as parked overtime and beyond the period of legal parking time. The
parking of vehicles overtime or beyond the period of legal parking
time in any such parking space shall be in violation of this section
and the owner of the illegally parked vehicle shall be penalized as
set forth in this chapter.

resolution of the governing body deposited there into the pay station;
if any vehicle remains parked in the parking space beyond the parking
time limit as fixed by the funds deposited in the pay station, the

considered parked overtime, beyond the period of legal parking time,
and in violation of this section.
