This law is known as the Parking District Law of 1951, which is simply a name given to this specific part of the code for easy reference.

This section states that the definitions provided in this chapter should be used to interpret the rest of this part unless there's a reason to interpret them differently.

This section defines what "legislative body" refers to, specifying that it means the city council or equivalent legislative group in the city where a district is located.

This law section defines the term “assessment roll” as the list that a city uses to determine taxes. It's essentially a record of property values within the city for taxation purposes.

When talking about parking meters, 'net revenues' are the amount of money left over after subtracting all the expenses related to buying, maintaining, operating, repairing, and servicing the meter, as well as the cost of gathering the money collected. It doesn't account for depreciation or whether the meter gets outdated.

This section defines 'real property' as land along with any buildings or structures on it.

This law defines 'parking places' as locations where cars can be parked. It includes parking lots, garages, underground areas, and buildings specifically used for parking vehicles.

A city can designate a specific area as a parking district to manage parking-related needs and services.

This section allows for various activities related to creating and managing public parking areas. It includes forming districts and acquiring land for parking and street improvements. Improvements may include building garages, paving, and lighting. Bonds can be issued for funding, with payments possibly coming from property taxes or parking meter revenues. Cities can contribute funds and promise revenue for these purposes. Engineers and attorneys may be hired to help with these activities. The section also covers acquiring property through various means, including gifts or eminent domain, and ensuring that the property is used as intended. The powers granted are broad to allow fulfilling the part's purposes.

This law allows a government body to quickly fund improvements, like parking facilities, by transferring money into a special fund. This transfer is considered a loan and must be repaid. The repayment can come from bond proceeds, revenues from operating parking places, parking meter revenues, or property taxes in the district.

This section ensures that any actions taken or bonds issued under this part will not be considered invalid just because they might not follow every specific rule in this part, as long as they don't violate state or federal constitutions. It also allows for any additional procedures that help achieve the goals of this part, even if they're not explicitly mentioned in the text. The intentions of this part should be interpreted broadly to fulfill its purposes.

This section of the law provides an additional way to handle a specific matter. It doesn’t change or replace related laws but offers an alternative procedure. If you choose to follow this part, only its rules will be used.

This law states that once an area is part of a designated parking district, it cannot be included in another parking district or a vehicle parking district at the same time. Each territory can only belong to one specific parking district.

This law states that the rules in the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation, and Majority Protest Act of 1931 do not apply to the proceedings in this specific part of the law.

This law section makes it clear that all the curative clauses, which are meant to fix or salvage certain legal issues, should work together and each should be fully implemented.
