Snow/Ice Control Policy Page 3 o The property owner may elect to do the repair work using commercial sod. The City will reimburse the property owner for sod purchased (material only - no labor). The reimbursement must be approved by the Public Works Department prior to the property owner doing any corrective work or purchasing any sod. 2.12 Boulevard City Code prohibits encroachment in boulevard areas. This includes items such as fences, timbers, posts, landscaping and sprinkler systems. These obstructions can damage snowplow equipment or become damaged by the weight of snow or equipment contact. Encroaching items in the boulevard are not replaced or repaired by the City if damaged. 2.13 Garbage/Recycling Efficient snow plowing requires that garbage and recycling containers be accessible for pick up and placed off street to allow snow removal. The container(s) may have to be placed in the driveway to meet both of these replacements. It is the responsibility of the resident to see that the container(s) is now in the way of the snowplow and is also in a spot accessible to the garbage and recycling truck(s). 2.14 Fire Hydrants Fire hydrants are critical to minimize the potential losses involved in any fire. After major snow build-up in boulevards, the Public Works and Fire Departments attempt to clear access to critical hydrants as personnel availability allows. Residents are encouraged to assist the City by clearing hydrants near their property. If possible, they should be cleared five (5) feet on each side to allow Fire Department access. III. PROCEDURES 3.01 Street condition monitoring and snow emergency coordination a. The Police Department will monitor street conditions and snowfall amount.
