To implement a higher level of service, such as a “bare 89 <br />pavement” policy would increase the budget needs subs tantially. Our current 6-year average 90 <br />total cost for snow & ice removal is $170,000. We anticipate costs could increase 30-35% to 91 <br />institute a higher level of service for collector streets. This in crease assumes an additional follow 92 <br />up plowing and ice control applic ation for 15 events per year. 93 <br />F INANCIAL I MPACTS 94 <br />N/A 95 <br />S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION 96 <br />N/A 97 <br />R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION 98 <br />Discuss the service level of our current snow a nd ice control policy and th e benefits and impacts 99 <br />a higher level of service, such as bare pavement policy. 100 <br /> 101 <br />Prepared by: Steve Zweber, Street Supervisor 102 <br />Gretchen Carlson, Support Specialist 103 <br />
