(A) The purpose of this chapter is to establish and maintain uniform definitions and procedures concerning snow and ice removal for the city. The city will provide snow and ice removal in a safe and cost-effective manner, taking into account safety, budget, personnel, and environmental concerns.
(B) This chapter does not guarantee that the streets, public parking lots, city maintained sidewalk, and other public areas will be free of snow and ice; but rather attempts to maintain an adequate traveling surface for properly equipped vehicles and pedestrians during winter conditions.
(C) Snow and ice removal from public streets, public parking areas, city maintained sidewalks, and other public areas is an emergency operation that takes precedence over other non-emergency work for the Public Works Department.
