(A) In order to facilitate the cleaning of all streets and expedite the free flow of traffic, motor vehicles shall not be parked on village streets, at such times as the United States Weather Bureau records indicate that two inches of snow has fallen and there is a prospect of further snowfall. All cars parked prior to the time weather conditions prohibit parking must be removed by the owner or operators. Any motor vehicle parked in violation of this prohibition shall be removed at the order of the Chief of Police and/or the Mayor, and shall subject the owner or operator to the fines provided herein.
(B) It is the responsibility of the owners or operators of motor vehicles to ascertain weather conditions requiring the removal of their motor vehicles from the streets within the village, and to remove all cars parked in violation of this section.
(C) When the United States Weather Bureau records indicate that two inches of snow has fallen and there is a prospect of further snowfall, the Chief of Police and/or the Mayor, shall order the removal of all vehicles parked on the streets of the village which have not been removed by the owners or operators. Such vehicles shall be removed to a motor vehicle impound as designated, and records shall be kept by the Police Department of all vehicles removed.
(D) Whoever violates this section is subject to the penalties provided by law for illegal parking on normally regulated streets. In addition, where a car is towed to a motor vehicle impound, the car can be recovered only upon the payment of the towing charges.
(E) The Police Department shall use all available means to disseminate information as to the existence of weather conditions requiring removal of parked motor vehicles from the areas designated, including radio, television, newspapers and other available media to the extent feasible. The dissemination of this information does not relieve owners or operators of motor vehicles from the responsibility of ascertaining the existence of weather conditions requiring the removal of parked motor vehicles from the areas designated.
(F) The streets where parking is prohibited after two inches of snow has fallen and there is a prospect of further snowfall include all of the streets within the village.
