All cars parked prior to the time weather conditions prohibit parking must be removed by the owners or operators. Any motor vehicle parked in violation of this prohibition shall be removed at the order of the Chief of Police and shall subject the owner or operator to the penalty provided by law.
(b) It shall be the responsibility of the owners or operators of motor vehicles to ascertain whether weather conditions require the removal of their motor vehicles from the streets and to remove all cars parked in violation of subsection (a) hereof.
(c) After two inches of snow have fallen and there is a prospect of further snowfall, the Chief of Police shall order the removal of all vehicles parked on the streets in the Village which have not been removed by the owners or operators. Such vehicles shall be removed to a vehicle pound and records shall be kept of all such vehicles so removed.
(d) Any person violating the provisions of this section with respect to removal of parked motor vehicles shall be guilty of a minor misdemeanor. In addition, where a car is towed to a vehicle pound, the car can be recovered only upon payment by the owner or operator of the towing charges imposed. (Ord. 09-04. Passed 2-23-09.)
