The ordinance prohibits parking on Main Street from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
The fine for parking on Main Street overnight is $100 plus towing at the vehicle owner's expense. Council member Larry Lack said before the ordinance vote that he supports anything the city an do to help the road crews do their jobs right.
The ordinance will be in effect for 90 days, through mid-March. Mayor Mark Sheets stated that the council will meet in January to review parking ordinances within the city.
