Public Safety Information

Parking on the streets is prohibited from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. throughout the city. Temporary permits may be granted for a limited period of time for special occasions and other circumstances such as construction. Permits are available at the Public Safety Department 24 hours a day.

Parking During Snow Emergencies

When a snow emergency is in effect, all parked vehicles must be removed from city streets. Vehicles not removed from the street during a snow emergency interfere with plowing efforts and could contribute to hazardous road conditions. Such vehicles may be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense.

Crossing Guards are needed throughout the school year to ensure the safety of our children. Work hours for crossing guards vary. For additional information, stop by either the Public Safety Department or Finance Department or complete our employment application.
