A. Power To Declare Parking Prohibition: Whenever the city manager or chief of police determines that parking motor vehicles on city streets should be prohibited or restricted for street cleaning, snow removal or other emergency purposes, the chief of police or city manager shall put into effect a parking prohibition on designated streets, as necessary, by declaring it in a manner prescribed hereunder. The prohibition or restriction shall remain in effect until terminated by announcement by the chief of police or city manager as may be set forth in any notice given hereunder, except that any street area which has been cleared of snow, ice or other debris for the length of an entire block shall be automatically excluded therefrom.
B. Parking Prohibited: While the prohibition or restriction is in effect, no person shall park any motor vehicle or allow any motor vehicle to remain parked on any street to which the prohibition applies.
C. Notice: The city manager or chief of police shall cause each declaration made by him or her pursuant to this chapter to be publicly announced by means of radio broadcasts from stations with a normal operating range covering the city, and as he or she may cause such declaration to be further announced in newspapers of general circulation in the city when feasible. Each announcement shall describe the action taken by the city manager or chief of police, including the time it became or will become effective, and shall specify the streets or areas affected. A parking prohibition shall not go into effect until at least eight (8) hours after notice thereof has been first announced or the first publication thereof has been made in a newspaper of general circulation in the city.
