If so,a <br /> temporary mailbox will be installed until a replacement is erected in the spring. <br /> The city will replace mailboxes damaged from direct contact with city equipment with the `swing-away' style <br /> mailbox conforming to the U.S. Postal Service specifications. If a resident does not want the swing-away <br /> style, they will be reimbursed up to $75 (receipt required), to replace the mailbox with a style of their choice. <br /> Installation is the responsibility of the property owner. Mailbox structures in the public right-of-way should <br /> be constructed of break-away materials. Incidents involving cluster mailboxes will be determined on a case <br /> by case basis. <br /> Trash Containers <br /> Trash and recycling containers shall be placed behind the curb so it is clear of passing snowplows and <br /> resulting windows. Do not place trash and recycling containers in the street. The city is not responsible for <br /> damage to trash/recycling containers placed in the street. <br /> Lawn Sprinklers/Invisible Pet Fences <br /> The city is not responsible for damage to underground lawn sprinklers or invisible pet fences located within <br /> the public right-of-way. Homeowners are responsible to protect such systems from damage or to relocate <br /> sprinkler heads and fences within their property boundary. <br /> Sod Damage <br /> Sod damaged by city equipment will be repaired the following spring either by city crews using black dirt <br /> and seed; or by the property owner if they elect to do the repair using commercial sod. The city will <br /> reimburse the property owner for the sod purchased but not for labor costs. Reimbursement much be <br /> approved by the Public Works Superintendent or their designee prior to the corrective work or sod <br /> purchase. <br /> 0 <br />
