(a) During the time a snow emergency exists, the City Manager or his/her authorized representative shall request the cooperation of the local newspaper, radio and television stations to announce the snow emergency and the time that emergency parking regulations will become effective, which time shall be no sooner than one hour after the first announcement. Such announcement by two local or area radio stations, or two local or area television stations, or one radio and one television station, or in a daily newspaper of general circulation published in this City, shall constitute notice to the general public of the existence of the snow emergency. However, the owners and operators of motor vehicles shall have full responsibility to determine existing weather conditions and to comply with the snow emergency parking prohibitions set forth herein.
(b) The City Manager or his/her authorized representative shall make or cause to be made a record of each time and date when any declaration is announced to the public in accordance with this section.
(c) Whenever the City Manager or his/her authorized representative finds that some or all of the conditions which give rise to a parking prohibition in effect, pursuant to the provisions of this chapter no longer exist, he/she may declare the prohibition terminated in whole or in part, in the same manner in which such snow emergency was declared as set forth in subsection (a) hereof. More specifically, the City Manager or his/her authorized representative shall announce the termination of the snow emergency parking prohibition by way of announcement by two local or area radio stations, or two local or area television stations, or one radio and one television station, or in a daily newspaper of general circulation published in this City. Termination is effective immediately upon announcement. (Ord. 1978-16. Passed 2-1-78.)
