[Adopted 9-4-2008 by L.L. No. 3-2008]
This article is adopted pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal
Home Rule Law of the State of New York.
The Valley Central School District under the authority of § 1670
of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law has determined that
parking of vehicles should be prevented from certain areas of the
school district property and has indicated these areas to the public
through the posting of signage and other pavement markings. Further
the school district has informed the Town of Montgomery of a continuing
problem with persons visiting and using the school district property
ignoring the posted no parking areas.
The Town Board determines that the continuing practice of violations
of the no parking restrictions as designated by the school district
presents a threat to public health, welfare and safety wherein parking
in such designated areas can hamper or prevent access by emergency
service vehicles, delay response times for emergency services and
potentially cause injury to emergency response personnel as well as
employees, students and visitors to the school district properties.
In order to address the public safety concern identified above,
the Town Board of the Town of Montgomery hereby authorizes the Town
of Montgomery Police Department, as well as any other police agency
empowered with the enforcement of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic
Law, to enforce the parking restrictions on the property of the Valley
Central School District.
