No owner or operator of a motor vehicle shall
allow the same to remain on any affected streets during a snowfall,
flood, fire or other extraordinary condition.
No vehicle shall be parked or allowed to remain
upon any street in any of the following circumstances:
A.
When it is in a disabled condition so as to be incapable
of operation.
B.
When its position on a street is at such an hour or
in such a location as to constitute a potential hazard or obstruction
to the normal flow of traffic.
C.
When it has been left unattended for a period of more
than 24 hours after the owner or operator has been notified to remove
it; or for a period of more than 24 hours after efforts to notify
the owner or operator have proved futile.

The Police Chief shall, without delay, report the
removal and disposition of such vehicle to the Village Clerk, and
it shall be the duty of such Village Clerk to ascertain the owner
of such vehicle or person having the same in charge and to notify
him of the disposition of such vehicle and of the amount which will
be required to redeem the same.
