Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers, Friday (today), said “With the weekend weather forecast predicting accumulating snow on Saturday and Sunday and winter weather advisory the Clarinda Police Department would like to remind the citizens of Clarinda about the snow ordinance. The ordinance states that; no person shall park any motor vehicle or other apparatus upon any street of the city that will obstruct the removal of snow when there has been an accumulation of two (2) inches or more. Any vehicle left parked on any street in violation of this ordinance may be impounded, and the registered owner of the vehicle will be subject to a $30.00 parking fine, and payment of all applicable towing and storage fee before the vehicle is released.”

The Chief says the parking ban remains in in effect until the snow ceases to fall and the streets have been plowed from curb to curb.
