SNOW ORDINANCE

February 24, 2009

SNOW ORDINANCE

All vehicles MUST be off the streets anytime there is  an accumulation of 1 inch of snow or ice anywhere in the City, and remain off the street for 48 hours after the snow event subsides.

HOMEOWNER SNOW REMOVAL RESPONSIBILITIES

All sidewalks adjacent to your property are your responsibility.  All complaint calls will be referred to the Building Department for follow-up and code enforcement.

Snow placed on sidewalks by City plows where the sidewalk meets the street is the responsibility of the property owner to remove.  City snowplows will not clear private driveways except under emergency conditions and with the approval of the supervisor on duty.  The snow placed in your driveway by the city plows is your responsibility to remove.  Please do not move snow from your driveway into the street.

Clean around fire hydrants in your yard, so the Fire Department may have easy access to your hydrant in case there is a fire in your neighborhood.

Clean around mailboxes and be sure the mailboxes are properly installed behind the curb line to withstand snow clearing efforts by the City.  The City assumes no responsibility for mailboxes damaged during snow removal.
