11m,"R • &M <br />Snow and ice control operations can cause property damage even under the best of <br />circumstances and care on the part of the operators. The major types of damage are to <br />improvements in the City right-of-way which extends approximately 13 feet beyond the curb <br />location. The intent of the right-of-way is to provide room for snow storage, utilities, sidewalks, <br />and other City uses. <br />The City will repair sod damaged by snowplows during snow removal operations. All other <br />damage within the public right-of-way is the responsibility of the property owner including, but not <br />limited to, trees, shrubs, bushes, landscaping materials, decorative rock and lawn/landscaping <br />irrigation systems. <br />The City will not repair/replace sod, trees, shrubs, bushes, landscaping materials and driveways <br />that are damaged due to the application of sand, salt or other deicing chemicals. <br />Mailboxes installed and maintained to City and Postal specifications which are damaged as a <br />result of direct contact by City snow removal equipment will be temporarily repaired within 48 <br />hours of receiving notification of such damage. If the mailbox and post cannot be temporarily <br />repaired, a portable mailbox will be set in place so mail service will be continued. The City will <br />replace the damaged mailbox structure the following spring with a standard No. 1 mailbox <br />mounted on a 4" by 4" treated post. <br />Mailboxes which are not installed to City and Postal specifications or are damaged due to snow <br />deposit from plows (versus being hit by City snow removal equipment) will not be replaced. The <br />City is not responsible for damage to media or paper boxes and will not repair them. <br />Upon roll call, members voting AYE: <br />Voting NAY: <br />Whereupon said policy was declared passed and adopted this 4th day of April, 2011 <br />Fran Miron, Mayor <br />ATTEST: <br />Michele Lindau, City Clerk <br />
