PUBLIC INPUT 29 <br /> 30 <br />Mayor Marty stated he had received a number of calls relating to the snow plows being out, and 31 <br />he asked Public Works Director Lee to comment. 32 <br /> 33 <br />Public Works Director Lee stated that there were two main reasons why the plows were out on 34 <br />the one-inch snowfall today. He stated that most municipalities had been out plowing today. He 35 <br />stated that public safety was one reason they were plowing. He stated that if slush were left on 36 <br />the road overnight, it would freeze, and there would be slippery conditions at intersections the 37 <br />next day. He stated that many times the police department will notice these slippery areas at 38 <br />midnight or 1:00 in the morning, and they will call Public Works to come sand the areas. He 39 <br />stated that by plowing during the day they would save the cost of evening overtime hours. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Public Works Director Lee stated that the second reason for plowing the roads is when melt 42 <br />water gets into the cracks of the streets and freezes, it later expands and breaks up the streets, so 43 <br />it’s far cheaper to spend the money on plowing than it is to repair the streets. 44 <br /> 45
