Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />DATE: September 26, 2016 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Sue Iverson, Interim City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Andy Brotzler, Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Adoption of Snowplow Policy <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Adopt the Snowplow Policy with July 2016 revisions. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills adopted the current Snow Plowing, Snow Removal and Ice Control <br />Policy in 2006. Due to a change in standard practice for ice control, staff has updated the policy <br />to reflect the use of salt and salt brine applications as well as making other minor revisions as <br />noted on the attached policy. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />The past practice for ice control was to apply a sand/salt mixture to streets during and/or after <br />snowplowing occurred. Since the previous policy was adopted, it has been determined that it is <br />more effective to apply a salt brine mixture to problem areas such as intersections, hills and <br />curves in advance of snow fall to help in preventing ice buildup in these locations. Not only is <br />the brine more effective, but it has also been found to be more environmentally friendly. In <br />addition, salt is now used during and after plowing instead of a sand/salt mixture. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT A: Snow Plowing, Snow Removal and Ice Control Policy <br /> <br /> CONSENT ITEM – 5E <br /> <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br />
