The chief of police is authorized to issue a permit for service
				parking upon payment of the fee prescribed by the local authority and upon the
				following conditions:
(1) Application
			 shall be made to the chief of police on such forms as the chief of police shall
			 prescribe. The applicant shall set forth the applicant's business and the
			 necessity for such permit. The chief of police shall investigate the facts as
			 necessary.
(2) If it appears that a
			 necessity exists, the chief of police may authorize the issuance of such permit
			 under the conditions prescribed in this section.
(3) Upon issuance of the permit, the
			 permittee shall be issued a hood to use in covering any parking meter. As many
			 hoods may be issued upon payment of the prescribed fee as the chief of police
			 deems necessary or convenient for the applicant. The hood shall be provided
			 with a padlock, tow keys, and an identification card attached with a blank
			 space thereon.
(4) Upon entering
			 any parking meter space available, the permittee shall place the hood over the
			 parking meter and lock the same and shall indicate in such blank space the
			 exact place where the service work is being rendered.
(5) The permittee shall not place the hood
			 over any meter when the space is occupied by another vehicle, and shall before
			 vacating the space at the conclusion of the work remove the hood. The hood
			 shall not be allowed to remain in place for over one hour when the space is not
			 occupied by an authorized vehicle, nor shall it be allowed to remain in place
			 after 6:00 p.m. on any weekday or on any Sunday or holiday. It shall not be
			 used during hours when parking or stopping in the parking meter space is
			 prohibited. No vehicle licensed as a passenger car shall be parked in the space
			 covered by the hooded parking meter.
(6) The chief of police may revoke any permit
			 if the service parking hood is used for any purpose other than that authorized
			 in this section or for any violation of this chapter. Upon revocation, the hood
			 shall immediately be returned to the police department and all fees paid shall
			 be forfeited. Police officers finding such hood in use shall investigate the
			 use being made thereof, and if it is found in violation of this section shall
			 report the facts to the chief of police.
(7) Any permit issued under this section
			 shall, unless revoked, be valid for a period of one year.
(8) The permittee shall also pay a deposit in
			 an amount prescribed by the local authority at the time of issuance of the
			 hood, padlock, and keys, which shall remain the property of the local
			 authority. In case a hood, a padlock, or key becomes lost or destroyed or so
			 defaced that it is no longer usable, the permittee shall forfeit
			 deposit.
