SNOW REMOVAL ORDINANCE - An ordinance regulating the operation and parking of motor
vehicles during snow emergency and establishing penalties for violation of the
ordinance.
Mayor Cotant and Council reviewed the first drafL of an ordinance regulating
the operation and parking of vehicles during a snow emergency.
~orma Banta, 4927 Pleasant View Stated her concern, ~s her family has 6 vehicles,
which makes it impossible to keep all of them off the street.
Wayne Webb, 545 Bonanza expressed concern of what would happen if he went out
of town, and we had a bad storm, would he get towed.
Randy Broadhead, 850 Todd expressed the following concerns:
1) Nbat happens ~hen a resident has ~isitors, will their cars be towed.
2) Where is the snow going to be pushed. If it is pushed on the sidewalks,
it creates a hazard for children.
3) Mr. Broadhead suggested the snow be pushed in vacate lots~around the City.
4) Problem intersections in the City should be cleared as soon as possible.
Some intersections and streets are more hazardous than others, because of
drifting, etc.
5) Mr. Broadhead suggested the City go back and clear driveway entrances to
some of the businesses.
Mrs. Barta said she has a problem in that, the gravel that is spread on the
road, ends UP ~n her yard.
Mrs. Barta suggested while the city is looking at an ordinance to remove vehicles
from the street during snow storms, why not do something about requiring
residents and businesses to remove snow from their sidewalks, within a certain
time limit. Mayor Cotant stated there are laws requiring this, but, it is
difficult to enforce.
Mayor Cotant read the proposed ordinance by title only.
After considerable discussion, it was decided the ordinance will be presented
on the January 26, 1988 Council Meeting. The council was asked to review the
ordinance, if there is a problem, or changes contact Attorney Holmes.
