(A) In order to facilitate snow removal from the public streets of the city from November 1 through April 1 of each year, no person shall park, nor shall any motor vehicle be parked on any street for a period of time that results in the vehicle being plowed in or plowed around by a city-owned or contracted snow removal vehicle or piece of equipment.
(B) Additionally, parking is not allowed on any public street when four inches or more of snow has fallen until the street has been plowed curb to curb. The official depth for the purpose of this provision shall be determined by the city, which determination shall be final and not subject to appeal.
(C) In addition to any other provisions provided in this code, any vehicle parked in violation of this chapter may be towed or removed summarily without notice to the owner or operator thereof. The vehicle shall be removed and stored in a parking lot or facility designated by the Police Department.
(D) The owner of the vehicle which is towed shall not be allowed to redeem the same until all costs of removing, towing and storage shall be paid to any party having the claim for services rendered in the removing, towing and storing of the motor vehicle.
(E) The city shall not be responsible for any damage to a vehicle removed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. In addition to any of the foregoing, the Public Works Director or his or her designee is also hereby authorized to post no parking signs for snow removal along streets where snow removal operations will require further use of the street by snow plowing and snow removal equipment.
(F) No person shall park any vehicle nor leave any vehicle which was parked at the time of the posting for a period of more than two hours thereafter until the snow removal operations have been completed and the signs removed.
