Ice and Snow Control ProcedureThe city is divided into 23 routes,downtown and the ramp. One truck is assigned to each route. One truck and driver is assigned to the emergency route (hospital) each week. When there is only up to 1 inch of snow, first consideration for ice control operations are: hills -- intersections -- main streets -- bus routes -- school areas -- railroad crossings; flat streets and cul de sacs would be secondary. No salting operations between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. Alleys will be done the following work day. Bus routes must be maintained at all times; buses are in operation between 6:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. weekdays. During an ice storm, all streets and alleys will be salted. Salt is primarily used. Flake calcium chloride may be added in extremely cold weather After all snow is removed from the streets, then the downtown snow removal can begin. The snow will be windrowed and loaded into trucks for disposal. Parking lots will be ordered by foreman. City Ordinance 6.12 Sidewalks; Removal of Snow, Etc.
