A. It shall be the duty of the owner, lessee, occupant or person having the control or custody of any premises or unimproved property to remove all snow or ice which has fallen or has accumulated upon the sidewalks abutting such premises or property within six (6) hours after such snow or ice has ceased to be deposited thereon; provided, however, that if such snow is falling or such ice accumulating after the hour of six o'clock (6:00) P.M., the same shall be removed within six (6) hours after seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. on the next succeeding day.
B. Any person who fails to remove snow or ice required in this section to be removed shall be liable to any person who is injured or otherwise suffers damage by reason of the existence of such snow or ice, and/or the failure to remove it as required herein. (Ord. 372, 6-22-1972)
C. Neither the City, or any of its officers, agents, employees, or City Council members, shall be liable to any person who is injured or otherwise suffers damage by reason of the existence of snow or ice upon sidewalks.
