influenced by the Federal Aviation Administration and the operating requirements of commercial air carriers. Section 2. Snow plowing, deicing/anti-icing, and sanding will be performed along designated snow routes as snowfall occurs. Priorities may be altered to address specific problem areas. Streets that are not designated snow routes will not receive ice and snow control measures. Section 3. The City does not have a bare pavement policy. Snow plowing, deicing/anti- icing, and sanding operations are intended to provide the prudent motorist with a reasonably safe traveling surface. During heavy snowfall or severe icing conditions motorists may need to install chains or other traction devices. Section 4. Deicing chemicals with corrosion inhibitors may be used in quantities necessary to keep sand stockpiles and sanding equipment workable. Section 5. Ice and snow control operations will consist of the application of deicing/anti- icing agents and abrasives along designated snow routes as deemed needed. When accumulated snow becomes compacted and plowing becomes ineffective, deicing agents and abrasives will be used as in normal ice and snow control operations. Section 6. During ice and snow control operations deiciers/anti-icers and abrasives will normally be applied within 100 feet of a controlled intersection, on bridges, overpasses and their approaches, and along curves and steep grades. The City Manager or designee may alter this policy to address unique storm conditions. Section 7. Resolution No. 4278 is repealed as of the effective date of this Resolution. Section 8. This Resolution shall become effective immediately upon its adoption. The foregoing Resolution adopted the __ day of ., 2005. City Recorder Resolution - 2
