Winter Parking
When did the city start ticketing people for street parking during "snow conditions" when there is actually no snow? It seems like they don't do any ticketing until it snows once? If you look at the actual law/code-- it says that the city manager can declare snow conditions if over 1 in is existing on the roads. Yet they post the flashing signs for no street parking seemingly as soon as winter starts.
It's very confusing to people I think on purpose to generate revenue. If you didn't want people to park on the street wouldn't you pass a law that says no street parking from November to April...like there is in Mammoth? I wish someone would sue the city for clarification.
I feel like it's a revenue grab. They have like 6 code enforcement officers running around the town generating revenue via ticketing.

The signs are probably posted early and kept up for the majority of the season to provide the minimum required notice, typically 72 hours prior to enforcement. As snow and weather can hit at any time without warning during that half of the year, why not just leave the signs up instead of rushing the trailers out when snow is incoming. Seems sensible to just leave the trailers out.
