Public Works is developing a dedicated 311 request type for snow removal from accessible parking spaces and has distributed a location list to staff and contractors. The city is responsible for clearing curb cuts near city and school buildings, parks, and bus stops, while most other sidewalk ramps must be cleared by adjacent residents or businesses. The committee kept water-meter sizing and a proposed tiered residential water-rate structure under review for additional staff preparation.
