Snowplowing Policy <br /> Administrator Larson stated that the City has had a snow plowing policy for many years; <br /> however, it was time for updating the policy and procedures with the addition of a map <br /> including the plow routes with priorities. Administrator Larson stated that he had worked <br /> closely with Staff regarding the policy and it ensures safe passage to major thoroughfares <br /> with at least a plow width to commence the process and then later clearing of the entire <br /> roadway. Plowing would commence upon 2 -3 inches of snowfall. Staff was also given <br /> the authority to deviate from the policy from time to time to ensure public safety. <br /> Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member Love to <br /> approve the presented Snowplowing Policy. <br /> Discussion: Council Member Fehrenbacher requested that the presented policy be <br /> forwarded to the Police Chief and questioned whether Mr. Palzer was comfortable with <br /> the policy. Mr. Palzer concurred. <br /> All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> 3. Soil Removal — Ditch Cleaning <br /> a. L.N. Sodding, LLC - $11,000 <br /> b. Olson's Sewer Service, Inc. - $5,022 (est.) & $1,716 Ditch Cleaning <br /> Administrator Larson reported that the work that had been completed by Staff has <br /> provided residents with ample drainage; however, spoilage has been left behind in the <br /> easements to dry and residents are dissatisfied due to the odor and nuisance of the piles. <br /> Administrator Larson stated that with the recent resignation of a public works employee <br /> and another employee out on leave the City has been unable to complete the project.
