Title
R/B Resolution #7-R-18 Snow Emergencies
Submitted by: William Siebers, District 1
Date: May 16, 2018
Referred to: Municipal Services Committee
Whereas, there are only 218 days left until winter, And
Whereas, the best time to deal with a problem is before circumstances force our hand, And
Whereas, with all winters we will once again need to deal with winter storms, which includes calling snow emergencies, And
Whereas, snow emergencies are exactly that, emergencies, And
Whereas, these emergencies are called to promote the most efficient removal of snow from our streets, and also to promote safety, And
Whereas, as common as it is to have snow storms in the winter it is also common for people to ignore the parking ban during the snow emergency, And
Whereas, the fine for parking on the street during the snow emergency is the same as a normal parking ticket and not likely a deterrent as we would hope,
Therefore, the fine for parking on the street during a snow emergency be more reflective of the seriousness of the situation and be increased to $100.
