APPROVE BY:
REVISED ORDINANCE
J
our "Parking After Snowfall" Ordinance (8-2-2-C) should be revised before
enforcement because of interpretation problems. The current ordinance
states:
C. Parking After Snowfall: No owner of a motor vehicle shall
leave, park or permit the same to stand on,any street or alley
for a period longer than four (4) hours after a snowfall of
two inches (211) or more in depth or of such amount which
necessitates the plowing and clearing of City streets and
alleys of snow by the City, until such time that the streets
or alleys in question are actually plowed 'and cleared of snow.
The suggested revised Snowbird Ordinance (attached) +clarifies two issues:
First, the word "owner" has been changed to "owaer/operat:or". This
change mill correctly identify the responsible person in cases like
car rentals, etc... Second, the phrase "stand on any street or alley
for period longer than four hours after a snowfall..." has been
subject to several interpretations. The revised ordinance clearly
advises motorists that parking during a snow emergency is prohibited
until the City plows have cleared the street.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION TO APPROVE AND ADOPT THE REVISED ORDINANCE
PERTAINING TO PARKING AFTER SNOWFALL AND CAUSE THE ORDINANCE TO BE
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON IT'S PASSAGE AND PUBLICATION.
