City Council Minutes Page 10 <br /> July 15,2019 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Councilmember Westgaard mentioned two operators could clear the sidewalks <br /> within 48 hours instead of four operators needed for 24 hours if the ordinance time <br /> limit was changed. <br /> Councilmember Ovall asked if there were insurance implications for not clearing the <br /> snow within the 24 hour period. <br /> Mr. Portner said we are insured and the caution is in the hands of the individual, not <br /> the property owner. The city does it's best to mitigate vulnerability. <br /> Mayor Dietz directed Mr. Femrite to prepared information to include in the <br /> proposed budget. If it is not a budget item,the city can,make changes to the <br /> ordinance or plow routes. <br /> Councilmember Ovall recommended developing clear guidelines that can help <br /> facilitate communication to the residents. <br /> Mr. Portner asked the council if they are willing to start the budget discussion <br /> meetings scheduled for July 22 and 29, 2019 at 4:00 p.m. The council agreed to a <br /> 4:00 p.m. start time. <br /> Mr. Portner discussed the council attending one of the Farmer's Market dates.
