SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Sioux City has towed 15 vehicles that hadn't been moved since last weekend's snowstorm.

The Sioux City Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1DlQ8VA ) that the vehicles were towed Wednesday and owners will have to pay fees of up to $150 to regain their vehicles. The fee could be higher if a tow required extra labor.

Mayor Bob Scott had said the unmoved vehicles were making it tough for city crews to clear the more than 7 inches of snow from some areas. The city has a policy that all streets have to be plowed within 72 hours after a snowfall ends. Another ordinance says it's unlawful for a vehicle to be parked in the same area for 24 hours without being moved.
