(a) No owner or operator of any motor vehicle shall park, or cause to be parked, upon any lot or tract of land which has been acquired and established as a private parking lot for the customers of one or more particular business establishments, or for the vehicles of certain individuals for which specific parking spaces have been reserved, or upon any other lot or tract of land not set aside and used as a public parking lot, when the owner or operator of the motor vehicle is not a customer, employee, or person having a space reserved on such lot, or authorized by the owner, operator or lessee of such lot, or reserved space to park such motor vehicle thereon. The presence of any legible sign on or about such lot or tract of land, indicating the lot is for use by certain individuals, or is established as a private or restricted parking lot shall be sufficient notice to the owners or operators of motor vehicles who are not such individuals, or a member of such class of individuals, for whom such parking lot is established that the parking is unlawful.
(b) Removal from Private Lot.
(1) The owner, operator or lessee of any private parking lot, or of any reserved parking space on any such parking lot, as described in subsection (a) hereof, may upon discovery of any motor vehicle illegally parked on any such lot, or in any such reserved space thereon, have a City patrolman issue a traffic violation ticket for the vehicle pursuant to said section, or have the same removed to a place of safekeeping. If the removal requires the services of a wrecker, the operator of the wrecker shall be entitled to collect from the vehicle owner, any applicable charges for such wrecker service and any reasonable charge for the vehicle storage after the removal. For payment of these charges, the owner of the wrecker is hereby given a lien on the motor vehicle, and is authorized to retain possession thereof until the charges are paid.
(2) Upon removal of the motor vehicle, the person ordering the same shall immediately notify the Waverly Police Department of the removal by giving a description of the vehicle, including the make, model and the license plate number. The person ordering the same shall also notify the Waverly Police Department of the place to which the vehicle was removed, and where it can be located by the owner.
(c) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor.
