[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.
A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall
be no parking upon streets or parts of streets where temporary emergency
no-parking signs are displayed. The Chief of Police, or in his absence
the ranking police officer, is authorized to declare an emergency
and to direct the posting of said emergency no-parking signs when
weather conditions, accidents, fires or public celebrations dictate
or require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere
with the free flow of traffic.
B.
Notification that the emergency no-parking signs are
being or will be posted 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.
[Amended 3-11-2015 by Ord. No. 3464]
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.
