DON'T FORGET TO SHOVEL
The St. Joseph Police Department arrd Public

restrictions take effect November 1. St. ose h
Code of Ordinance 84.05 states:
Section 84.05: SNOW SEASON PARKING.

Subd. 2: Any vehicles parked in violation of Sec-
tion 84.03.1, which interfere with the plowing or removal

expense.
As long was we are talking about winter, don't forget
about the sidewalk. St..Toseph Code of Ordinances also
require
Section 33.03: REMOVAL OF SNOW AND
OBSTRUCTIONS. The owner of each lot, part of lot,
parcel and piece of land within the City shall remove or
cause to be removed from the
sidewalks or walks adjacent
thereto all snow, ice, dirt and
rubbish within twenty four ~
hours after the same has been ~~^ ~~~~~~~
deposited on the sidewalk or ~y
walk. If such owner fails or ne- ~~~
glects to remove the same within ,
e
a
twenty four hours, the City ~'
Council may cause the same to
be removed and shall assess the
cost of removal against the
fronting lots, parts of lots, parcels and pieces of land.
The Police Department has started ticketing
property owners for not shoveling their sidewalk. In
addition to receiving a police citation, the Public Works
Director contracts with a private contractor to have the
snow removed. All cost associated with snow removal
will be assessed to the property owner.
