(A) The Village Board of Trustees finds that abandoned vehicles constitute a safety hazard and a public nuisance; are detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the general public by harboring disease, providing breeding places for vermin, inviting plundering, creating fire hazards and presenting physical dangers to children and others; produce scenic blights which degrade the environment and adversely affect land values and the proper maintenance and continuing development of the village; and require local governmental attention in order to assure the expeditious removal of these abandoned vehicles.
(B) The Village Board of Trustees declares, therefore, that it is the policy of the village to prohibit the abandonment of vehicles and to enforce such prohibition by law.
