The City Manager, or their designee, may declare a snow emergency when in their judgment, the snow or ice has accumulated or is expected to significantly accumulate to such an extent as to impede safe travel upon the streets of the city. A declaration of a snow emergency shall be made in writing and filed with the Office of the City Clerk as soon as practically possible after being declared. Any declaration shall take effect one hour after its publication. Publication shall be posted physically at city offices, on the official municipal website and sent via email or facsimile to local media outlets as soon as possible upon issuance of a declaration and parking prohibition to reasonably inform residents of their responsibilities. When a snow emergency has been declared, there shall be no parking of any vehicle upon public city streets until such a time that the snow emergency is no longer in effect.
