Much <br />of the snowplowing operations fora "typical" snow event have not changed. We will still be <br />assisted by employees from five other departments (Waste Water Treatment, Building <br />Maintenance, Equipment Services, Building Safety and Park Maintenance) as we have done <br />so in the past fox a total of 18 employees fox a "typical" event. <br />However in the case of "extreme weather conditions", declared by the City Administrator in <br />conjunction with the Police Chief, Fire Chief, and Street Superintendent, we have revised the <br />plowing procedure to include an additional nine employees from the above referenced <br />departments to assist with snow removal operations during such an event. We have attached <br />a chart that will outline the efforts of the additional staff. <br />We look forward to maintaining excellent winter driving conditions during the 2011-12 <br />winter season. <br />Attachments <br />Standard winter snow event procedures <br />Extreme winter snow event procedures <br />2010 Correspondence/9-28-11 MC Snowplowing Procedure <br />
