The Police Department shall have the authority
to prohibit parking for a period of time deemed necessary by the Chief

gathering or other festive holiday. The Police Department shall erect
temporary signs designating the areas or temporary prohibition, and
it shall be unlawful for any person to stop, stand or park a vehicle
in any such area.
