Mayor Pro Tem Smith stated the Council’s expectation is to catch the first flake before it hits the ground, and that is no less of an expectation now. Mayor Pro Tem Smith said he does not believe most folks understand the huge difference between a snowstorm and having ice first. The City’s crews have really done a good job. Mayor Pro Tem Smith said we test equipment and it’s running, and it snows and it quits, but our City still does probably twice as good as anyone else, and he is confident we will continue to do better. Mayor Pro Tem Smith said Public Works Director Williams has said snow removal is the one thing that will run him out of the business. Mayor Pro Tem Smith jokingly said to Director Williams, that if he catches the snow, he does not have to plow it!
