Any municipality may, by ordinance, authorize its parking authority or parking division to collect and receive all revenue from parking meters located on public streets in the municipality or to establish metered on-street parking zones. Any municipality that has adopted an ordinance under § 7-204a may authorize its parking authority to receive the amount remitted to the municipality for parking violations under subsection (b) of § 51-56a. All existing parking meters, upon the adoption of such ordinance, shall become the property of the parking authority or parking division and such authority or division shall succeed to all the obligations of such municipality relative to payment for such meters. The revenues from such meters shall be used by such authority or division for the regulation and control of the parking of vehicles in parking meter on-street and off-street zones, for the cost of purchase, installation, operation, inspection, supervision and maintenance of parking meters, for acquiring, operating and maintaining off-street parking facilities and to fulfill pledges made under the provisions of § 7-206 for the payment of bonds.
