§ 26-91. Parking on restricted city property.

(a)

It shall be unlawful for any person to park, or leave unattended, or drive a vehicle into or upon any property owned and controlled by the city and restricted to use by authorized persons and vehicles only, without first obtaining permission in writing to do so from the proper city officer, agent or employee, authorized by the city council to give such permission. The director of the department to which such property is inventoried is hereby authorized to restrict the use of such property only to persons and vehicles authorized in writing by such director to use such property.

(b)

All property of the city that has been restricted, either by the city council or by its duly authorized agent, to use by authorized persons and vehicles only, shall be designated by one or more appropriate and conspicuous signs posted at all vehicular entrances thereto, and such signs shall advise that the property is restricted to authorized persons and vehicles only, that all other vehicles will be towed or driven away, and that the driver of any illegally parked vehicle shall be subject to a civil fine. The department to which such property is inventoried shall cause such signs to be prepared and posted. The city shall incur no liability for damage caused to any such vehicle by such removal and the owner, by permitting his vehicle to be placed on such property, thereby impliedly waives claim for any damages thereto that may be caused by such towing and storage.

(c)

In addition to any other penalty provided for such violation, any vehicle parked, left unattended or driven upon any such restricted property of the city without permission from the proper authority having been first obtained in the manner above provided, is hereby declared to be an obstruction, and shall be subject to being towed or driven away by, or at the direction of any person designated by the head of the department to which such property is inventoried, or any city police officer, to a place of impoundment in the manner provided by law.
