LAWN SPRINKLING, LIGHTING SYSTEMS, AND PERSONAL PROPERTY The City will assume no responsibility for damage to above the ground or underground lawn sprinkling systems, exterior lighting systems, and similar landscaping installed in City owned right-of-way. The City will assume no responsibility for personal property that is being stored on the City right-of-way. DRIVEWAYS One of the most frequent and irritable problems in removal of snow from public streets is the snow deposited in driveways during plowing operations. Snow being accumulated on the plow blade has no place to go but in the driveway. The amount of snow deposited in the driveways may be significant but is unavoidable due to the nature of snow removal. The depth of snow in any given driveway is proportional to the depth of the given snowfall. The City will not clean driveways based on financial restraints and available personnel. RESPONSIBILITY Streets: The Public Works Superintendent and Street Maintenance Supervisor with assistance from the police department will monitor the street conditions to determine the timing and the number of crews necessary to clear the City maintained public street system. The Public Works Superintendent, Street Maintenance Supervisor, or in their absence the designated representative, has the responsibility of determining plow routes and sequencing of operations in accordance with the priorities as established in Exhibit A. The Street Maintenance Supervisor or his designee will retain the latitude to adjust sequencing or route assignments based on storm conditions, equipment availability, and/or other conditions warranting changes. Parking Lots: The Street Maintenance Division along with the Parks Maintenance Division will monitor conditions in parking lots to determine timing and equipment and staff necessary to provide snow and ice control in city parking lots. The Street Maintenance Division is responsible for snow and ice control in all parking lots within the City Center Campus, including the City Hall lots, Fire Station #1 lots, maintenance garage lots, and Ice Skating Center lots. The Parks Maintenance Division is responsible for snow and ice control on all other city parking lots. As in other areas of maintenance, divisions assist each other as available and necessary to carry out snow and ice control operations. STAFFING As snow and ice control on city streets and critical parking lots is considered emergency in nature, all maintenance divisions, including streets, utilities, and park maintenance staff will be called upon to ensure all necessary equipment is utilized for each snow and ice event as determined by the Public Works Superintendent or Street Maintenance Supervisor.
