It shall be unlawful for any person to park, place or allow to remain any object, other than a non-motorized mode of transportation, on a sidewalk, bike path or pedestrian walkway from November 1 of each year through April 1 of the following year.
(B) The township shall have the authority to remove and impound, or to order the removal and impounding of, any object found in a street or on a sidewalk, bike path or pedestrian walkway in violation of this chapter. If, however, at the time of the intended removal by the township, the owner or the person in charge of such object is present and expresses a willingness and intention to remove this object immediately and does so, then the township shall not have the authority to remove and impound.
(C) Removal and impounding of objects under this chapter shall be done only by township personnel or approved agents. Every such approved agent shall submit evidence to the township that it is bonded or has acquired liability insurance in an amount satisfactory to the Board of Supervisors as sufficient to indemnify owners of impounded objects against loss or damage to those objects in the custody of the approved agent. The approved agents shall have an approved storage area and shall submit to the township a schedule of charges for removal and storage of objects under this section. When the schedule is approved by the Board of Supervisors, those charges shall be adhered to by the approved storage agent, and no different schedule of charges shall be demanded of or collected from any person whose object is removed or impounded under this section by any approved storage agent. The Board of Supervisors shall delete from its list of approved storage agents and areas any such agent that makes any unapproved charge in connection with any objects removed or impounded under this section. In order to reclaim an object removed pursuant to the provisions hereof, the owner, lessee or other person having an interest therein shall pay such removal and storage costs according to the approved schedule.
