SNOW REMOVAL GUIDELINES
Per City Code, Chapter 69.10, "Snow Routes. Stopping, standing or parking of vehicles upon streets designated as snow routes, except as required at intersections or otherwise to avoid collision, is prohibited when the snow ordinance goes into effect until the snow removal operations have been completed for the entire width of the streets. For purposes of this section, the snow ordinance is in effect when the accumulation of snow exceeds one inch, as measured by the National Weather Service for the City, in any particular snowstorm or snow event. The snow ordinance will end 48 hours after the end of the snow event. Vehicles found to be parked in violation of this section shall be cited for said violation, and to obviate the safety hazards occasioned by incomplete snow removal, shall be summarily towed on orders of a police officer to some place where the vehicle may be lawfully parked, or to a privately owned impoundment lot. The cost of such towing shall be assessed to and paid by the operator or registered owner of the vehicle."
"Temporary Tow-Away Zones for Snow Removal. After especially heavy snow accumulations, the Public Works Director may post other streets with snow removal/tow-away notice signs or place notices on the vehicles on such streets and cause the towing of vehicles parked contrary to such notice posted for more than 12 hours when such is deemed necessary to enable City crews to clear out snow from areas that had numerous parked cars or which, for some other reason, could not be effectively cleared of snow by ordinary snow plowing operations, so as to obviate the occurrence or continuance of a special hazard caused by the said condition."
"In the event a U.S. Mail box is knocked over by a piece of City owned equipment during the process of snow removal the City, at the Cities option, will either replace or repair it with a standard metal mail box mounted on a 4” x 4” post rated for ground contact. If it is determined it was hit or removed by flying snow or slush then the City will not repair or replace the box or post. Mail boxes must be mounted behind the back of curb and no part may be protruding beyond the back of curb."
