Emergency declarations. The Village Board hereby declares that a
snow emergency shall exist when the Director of Public Works, his/her

storm creates traffic congestion and thereby impedes the operation
of emergency vehicles and snow-removal equipment and machinery. A
snow emergency shall continue to exist for so long as traffic remains
congested and the operation of emergency vehicles or snow-removal
equipment is impeded, or likely to be impeded, by the falling of snow
or the accumulation of ice and the movement of traffic upon the streets,
alleys or public parking lots of the Village is thereby impacted.
Whenever a snow emergency is declared to exist, no persons shall park,
stop or leave standing any vehicle upon the streets, or any portion
of the streets, during the existence of the snow emergency pursuant

of Public Works or his/her designee may proclaim the state of emergency
by providing notification through not less than two media outlets
or other public means of communication.

vehicle on a street or alley during a snow emergency, or immediately
thereafter, until such main street or alley has been cleared of snow
or ice.

Removal of vehicles. The Director of Public Works or his/her designee
may remove any vehicle which may interfere with the operation of any
snow-removal equipment or any emergency vehicle during a snow emergency.

Director or Public Works may cause removal to be made either by his/her
own department or may contract with a third party for such removal.
