2 <br />Snow Plowing in Lake Elmo <br />Winter weather is never a popular subject, <br />especially for plow operators who are trying to <br />keep roads clear and safe for traffic. The follow- <br />ing are a few tips and information that will hope- <br />fully make winter a little easier for everyone. <br />• Do not deposit or push snow across any <br />street (MN State Statute 160.2715) <br />• Please keep garbage and recycling <br />containers off the roadway. <br />• Make sure your mailbox is at its legal height <br />and properly secured. The city will only replace <br />mailboxes that are physically hit by city plows. <br />• Priority will be given to roads with higher <br />amounts of traffic. Roads serving residential <br />areas and cul-de-sacs will be plowed secondary. <br />• Depending on snowfall timing, crews will be- <br />gin operations between 2:00 AM and 4:00 AM. <br />• Please leave plenty of room when following <br />plows. These units do frequent turning and <br />backing. Remember, “If you cannot see their <br />mirrors, they cannot see you!” <br />Public Hearing on the <br />2020 Budget and 2020 <br />Tax Levy <br />A public hearing is scheduled on December 3, <br />2019 at the Regular City Council meeting at <br />7:00PM. After the hearing the City Council will <br />consider adopting the Final Budget and Tax <br />Levy for 2020. <br />National Flood Insurance Program <br />The National Flood Insurance Program aims to reduce the <br />impact of flooding on private and public structures. It <br />does so by providing affordable insurance to property <br />owners, renters and businesses and by encouraging <br />communities to adopt and enforce floodplain <br />management regulations. These efforts help mitigate the <br />effects of flooding on new and improved structures. <br />Do You Need Flood Insurance? <br />Here are some important facts to keep in mind: <br />•Homeowners and renters insurance does not <br />typically cover flood damage. <br />•More than 20 percent of flood claims come from <br />properties outside high-risk flood zones. <br />•1 inch of water can cause $25,000 in flood damage! <br />Flood insurance plans typically have a 30-day waiting <br />period before they pay, so residents are urged to buy a <br />flood insurance policy before the Springtime. <br />For more information visit www.Floodsmart.gov
