§ 19-624. Revocation of permit.

(a)

Basis for revocation. The following are acts which may be the basis for revocation of the permits issued by the traffic safety director:

(1)

For any person to falsely represent himself or herself as eligible for a parking permit or to furnish false information in an application therefor.

(2)

For any person holding a valid parking permit issued pursuant hereto to permit use or display of such permit on a motor vehicle other than that for which the permit was issued.

(3)

For any person to copy, reproduce or otherwise bring into existence a facsimile or counterfeit parking permit or permits without written authorization from the traffic safety director.

(4)

For any person to knowingly use or display a facsimile or counterfeit parking permit in order to evade time limitations on parking applicable in a residential permit area.

(5)

For any person holding a valid parking permit issued pursuant hereto to sell, give or exchange said permit to any other person.

(6)

For any person to knowingly commit any act which is prohibited by the terms of this program or any ordinance enacted by authority granted by this program.

(b)

Revocation process. The traffic safety director or his/her designee is authorized to revoke the residential parking permit of any person alleged to be in violation of this program subject to the following procedural guidelines:

(1)

The traffic safety director shall provide written notice with an intent to revoke permit to the permittee. Such written notice shall include a statement outlining the grounds for revoking the permit as well as the date, time, and place set for a hearing before the traffic safety director or his/her representative to determine if the revocation shall be effectuated.

(2)

Written notice of the date, time, and place of such hearing shall he served upon the permittee at least five (5) days prior to the date set for such hearing. Failure to appear shall constitute a waiver of the permittee's opportunity to challenge the revocation and shall be deemed an admission by the permitee of the grounds for revocation stated in the written notice.

(3)

At the hearing before the traffic safety director or his/her representative the permitee shall have the right to be represented by an attorney, to present any evidence and a written or oral argument or both.

(4)

No decisions shall be invalidated because of the admission into the record and the proof of any fact in dispute of any evidence not admissible under the common law or statutory rules of evidence.

(5)

Within five (5) working days after close of the hearing, the traffic safety director or his/her representative shall enter his/her decision based upon the record presented and notify the permitee in writing of such decision. The decision of traffic safety director shall be final. Failure, when so requested, to surrender a residential permit parking so revoked shall constitute a violation of this article. There will be no refunds for revoked permits.

(c)

Penalty. Any vehicle found to be in violation of the article based upon any of the acts stated in [subsection] (a) above, in addition to revocation of the permit, will be towed at the owner's expense.
