City Snow Policy

• To help people get around safely this winter, the
  City asks all property owners to observe the
  following rules
• - Keep sidewalks free of snow and ice. City
  crews will clean sidewalks occasionally when
  large quantities fall (5" and more), but property
  owners remain responsible.
• - Keep snow away from fire hydrants so they
  remain visible from all sides at all times.
• - Do not pile snow on corners - this blocks views
  and causes accidents.
• - Do not plow snow onto sidewalks, across or into
  City streets.
• - Do not use a motor vehicle or ORV to plow snow
  on any City sidewalks.
• If City crews are used to correct problems,
  property owners will be billed for time and
  materials. In some cases, deliberate actions may
  constitute illegal activity - please report
  severe infractions to the City Police.
