Excerpt of the draft PWET minutes is included as Attachment 6. <br />39 <br />40 Policy Objectives <br />41 It is City policy to keep City-owned infrastructure in good operating condition and to keep <br />42 systems operating in a safe condition. <br />43 <br />44 Equity Impact Summary <br />45 The current policy applies to the city uniformly so there is no equity impact. <br />46 <br />47 By incorporating the snowplow pilot areas into the revised policy formally, the policy better <br />48 accommodates residents in apartment complexes who tend to have lower incomes. The <br />49 pilot parking areas allow these residents to park on one side of the street during snow <br />50 events as many of these locations do not have adequate off-street parking options <br />51 available and were more likely to be ticketed in snow events before the pilot areas were <br />52 implemented. <br />53 <br />54 Budget Implications <br />55 There are no budget impacts with the proposed changes to the snow & ice control policy. <br />56 The level of service and level of effort for snow and ice control will remain the same so no <br />57 overall changes to cost of snow and ice control. <br />58 <br />59 Staff Recommendations <br />60 Staff recommend the Council adopt the revised Snow & Ice Control Policy. <br />61 <br />62 Requested Council Action <br />63 Consider adopting the revised Snow & Ice Control Policy. <br />64 <br />65 <br />Jesse Freihammer, Public Works Director <br />Prepared by: <br />1.Current Snow & Ice Control Policy (2014) <br />Attachments: <br />2.Draft Snow & Ice Control Policy with changes tracked <br />3.Draft Snow & Ice Control Policy clean version <br />4.Draft Snow & Ice Control Policy Exhibits <br />5.Presentation <br />6.Excerpt of PWET Minutes <br />66 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Qbhf!24!pg!263 <br /> <br />
