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