(a)

Fees for parking at the ferry dock, and other town-designated Prudence Ferry parking areas, shall be established by the town council from time to time for both a daily rate and an annual rate, as well as a monthly rate for off-season parking permits. The town council shall also establish fines for nonpayment of parking fees.

(b)

Parking shall be permitted at the Marina Ferry Dock during the off-season, defined as November 16 to April 14. Fees for off-season parking permits shall be established by the town council by resolution. Payments shall be made by credit/debit card, personal check, bank check, or money order, and cash payments shall not be permitted. Vehicle owners shall pay in full for the requested duration of off-season parking and month-to-month payments shall not be permitted. A lease agreement must be signed by the registrant and approved by the Harbormaster, including payment, before a parking permit will be issued. Vehicle owners shall provide proof of Prudence Island residency to the Harbormaster. Only one vehicle shall be allowed to register for a single parking spot. Vehicles must park exclusively in their assigned spots and the permit shall be displayed on the vehicle's rearview mirror. During periods where parking at the Marina is banned due to snow, permit holders may be relocated to the public parking lot at Church St and Thames St. This section shall expire on June 30, 2027, unless otherwise extended or repealed by the town council.
