Live reporting - the DPW story on snow

Robert (Brutus) Cantorregi
Jim Estabrook, GIS specialist

Thanks to Brutus and Jim for providing this copy of the full presentation:



only $2,010 left in snow budget right now

Citizens can help by:
Don't put snow back into the street
Clear the fire hydrants
Doak - the DPW is a victim of their own success. Is it a consideration to do less?

Nutting - They have been cutting back on the routes and materials but nothing else.

Brutus - Maybe instead of getting to a subdivision within four hours after a storm, we do eight? Then heaven forbid, we don't get there and there is a tragedy due to a safety issue.

Whalen - what are the costs associated with a slower clearing of the snow? Maybe a few more school cancellations?

Nutting - the wear and tear of our DPW employees, just the safety of the employees alone, never mind the wear on the equipment.

Whalen - I am surprised that citizens with snow blowers just don't do more sidewalks.
