[Amended 8-11-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-29]
In the event that weather conditions, accidents, fires, street
sweeping, public celebrations, or any other emergency requires the
avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the
free flow of traffic, the Chief of Police or, in his absence, the
ranking police officer of the Department is authorized to declare
an emergency and to direct the posting of "Emergency No Parking" signs.
Upon the declaration of the emergency and the posting of such signs,
there shall be no parking upon the streets or sections of streets
where such signs have been posted. Notification of the declaration
of the emergency and the posting of such signs shall be given to the
operator or owner of any vehicle which has been parked prior to the
posting of the signs.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this
article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper
regulation of traffic, and any peace officer may provide for the removal
of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal
and storage which may result from such removal before regaining possession
of the vehicle.
