Explanation

The Transportation Division is responsible for snow and ice removal on the city's roadway system. To enhance these efforts the Transportation Division proposes to establish contingency agreements and encumbrances with private vendors to plow snow on streets, roads and highways on an emergency basis consistent with the Division's Snow Removal Plan. This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into contracts with vendors for snow and ice removal services.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $125,000.00 are available in the Municipal Motor Vehicle License Tax Fund for this purpose.

Emergency action is requested to allow roadway snow removal operations to proceed, if necessary, without delay.
