[Amended 3-11-2015 by Ord. No. 3461]
A. Whenever an emergency condition or situation has developed or is
to occur in the Village, as determined by the Village Manager in consultation
with the Village Office of Emergency Management and the Village Chief
of Police, the Village Manager shall have the sole authority to designate
"No Parking Areas." Such designation can be applicable Village-wide
or to specific streets or areas. When the "No Parking Areas" are designated
by the Village Manager, they shall mean that no vehicle shall be parked
on either side of any such street or parts thereof until such time
the emergency condition is deemed ended. Duration of the "No Parking
Areas" shall be determined by the conditions that warranted the designation.
B. The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect until after
the emergency condition or situation has ceased. In the event of a
snow or ice incident, the parking prohibitions shall remain in effect
until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent
that vehicle parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
C. Any person in violation of the provisions of §
265-43, of Article
VI, Designation of emergency no-parking areas, shall be liable to the following penalties, in addition to having his/her vehicle being towed:

Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in

reasonable costs of the removal and storage which may result from
such removal before regaining possession of the vehicle.

The effectiveness of this article is contingent
upon signs being erected as required by law, however that does not
relieve a person parking a vehicle from paying the required parking
fee via one of the approved methods.
