Items in the Public Right of Way Mailboxes The cityT does not assume liabilityT for mailbox damage caused on1yT byT sno`v windro`vs. The cit�T will assume liabilityT for mailbox damage if the Street and Park Superintendent or their designee determines that a plow unit made direct contact.

Cluster mailboxes mayT be reimbursed at a rate of $150 per mailbox up to a maximum of $500, whichever is the lesser amount. Mailbox structures in the public right-of-`vayT shall be constructed of break-awayT materials and be installed according to the U.S. Postal Service construction standards �vhich can be found at htt�s://�vww.us�s.com/manage/mailboxes.htm Trash Containers Trash and rec�Tcling containers shall be placed behind the curb to ensure the�T are clear of passing sno�uplo�vs and resulting `vindrows. Do not place trash and rec�Tcling containers in the street as this prevents plo`v trucks from clearing public right-of-�va�T curb to curb and mayT result in road hazards to motorists. The cit�T is not responsible for tipped over or damaged trash or rec�Tcling containers. Sod Damage Sod damaged byT cityT equipment will be repaired the following spring either byT cityT crews using black dirt and seed; or byT the propertyT owner if theyT elect to do the repair using commercial sod.

Conditions Which May Impact Policy Goals Vehicles disabled in deep snow. Weather so severe as to cause crews to be called in from the street, i.e., whiteout conditions.
