(A) Declaration of exception. When, in the opinion of the Utilities Superintendent, Chief Marshal and Town Council President, or their designated representatives, the actual or predicted accumulation of snow is two inches or more (which shall include freezing, ice or sleet) may create hazardous or dangerous roadway conditions for vehicular or pedestrian traffic, the Utilities Superintendent, Chief Marshal and/or the Town Council President shall have the authority to declare a weather-related parking exception.

(2) Fairground Street, from Seminary Street to High Street; and
(3) Market Street, from Seminary Street to High Street.
(C) Notice of exception. Notice of a weather-related parking exception shall be provided by posting notices on signs located on the affected streets. Media may also be used to provide notice. Once a weather-related parking exception is declared, it shall remain in effect until all signs are along the affected streets are removed or media notice is given.

Contact information must be submitted to the Town Hall, and must clearly identify and provide a current number for the contact person.
(G) Removal and impoundment of vehicles. The Liberty Police Department is authorized to remove or have removed, at the owner’s expense, any vehicle parked on any part of an affected street during a weather-related parking exception.
