Impending Snow Storm Reminders
With the potential for the first significant snowfall of the season and artic cold immediately following the potential storm we are asking for your help. As a reminder, please follow ordinance https://www.ecode360.com/12457366#12457411 referencing no parking on city streets during winter months. For the safety of others please remember to clear any sidewalks and approaches within 24 hours of a snowfall. It does take time to clear the streets so we ask for your patience and cooperation as staff and other agencies work long hours to make streets and parking lots passable and safe especially with the potential for the potential duration of the impending snow storm. Finally, for your safety please remember to keep furnace exhaust and intake pipes clear of snow piles, gas meters on your homes clear of snow and the area around fire hydrants.
Snow and Ice Removal Policy
Pursuant to City Ordinance Chapter 419-11, Snow and Ice Removal Policy.
Responsibility of Owner or Occupant
The owner or occupant of a lot or parcel abutting on a sidewalk within the City shall clear said sidewalk of snow and ice to the width of the sidewalk within 24 hours of the cessation of any snowfall. If ice forms so that it cannot be removed, such person shall keep the sidewalks sprinkled with a material that will reduce the risk to pedestrians of slipping and falling on such sidewalk. Snow not timely removed and ice not timely removed or sprinkled shall be deemed a public nuisance.
Removal of Snow and Ice by the City
In the event the owner or occupant fails to remove snow or ice in conformity with this section, City employees will remove such snow and ice and charge the cost thereof as a special tax against the property.
Plowing Snow onto Streets Prohibited
The owner or lessee of every lot or parcel in the City shall not by himself or his agent push, plow or otherwise deposit snow from within his lot line onto the public street or alley. Such action shall be considered a nuisance and subject to penalty as provided in Chapter 1-3.
A separate offense shall be deemed committed for each day of which a violation of this Section occurs or continues.
