9-51-32. Lease of municipally owned parking facilities--Regulation of rates--Improvements by lessee--Publication of terms of lease. The governing body of any municipality providing automobile parking facilities may make such other provisions for their operation and management as it may deem necessary and it may lease or rent for a term of years, not exceeding forty, any or all off-street facilities to persons, firms, or corporations to be used for purposes of automobile parking and fix the rentals to be charged therefor, and when so leased the governing body shall regulate the rates and charges to be exacted for services so provided. Such lease may require the lessee to make improvements which may become the property of the municipality upon the completion thereof or upon the expiration or termination of the lease. Provided, however, that the terms of any lease or rental agreement must be published in the official newspaper of the municipality once a week for at least two successive weeks, prior to entering into such lease or rental agreement by the governing body of the municipality.
