[Amended 1-28-2019; 3-2-2022]
A. Snow removal emergency.
(1) A snow removal emergency may be declared at any time the Public Works
Director, or his/her designee, determines, based upon forecast information
or actual observed conditions, that the accumulation of ice or snow,
whether from snowfall or drifting, will reasonably necessitate snowplowing
snow removal, or winter pavement treatment operations.
(2) The Public Works Director, or his/her designee, is authorized to
declare a snow emergency pursuant to the provisions herein and shall
provide the Village President, Village Clerk, Fire Chief, and Police
Department, with an informal notice as quickly as possible regarding
such declaration. The Village Clerk shall distribute to local news
media and may send out the notice by electronic means to Village residents
and the notice may be posted on the Village's website or social media
platforms. Any such declaration shall specifically designate the hours
and dates which it covers. The failure to receive such notice shall
not excuse any person from obeying the provisions of this subsection.
(3) During any such period of declared snow removal emergency, no person
shall cause nor allow the parking or standing of any vehicle, trailer,
or semitrailer, except emergency vehicles, upon any Village street
until after the period of the declaration has come to an end. Either
the owner or the operator of any such vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer
shall be responsible for any violations hereunder.
(4) The Police Department may issue parking violations for any vehicle
trailer, or semitrailer found in violation of this section. The Police
Department also has the authority to tow away any motor vehicle, trailer,
or semitrailer found in violation of this section. The owner or operator
of a vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer removed under this subsection
shall be liable for the costs of such removal and the person having
removed the same may retain possession of the vehicle, trailer, or
semitrailer until the cost of towing has been paid. Neither the Village
nor the person removing such vehicle, trailer, or semitrailer shall
be liable for damages during such removal in the absence of negligence.
