Thanks for your email, Ken.  I spoke with Chief Beckner and learned that we do not have Code Enforcement officers assigned to work weekends. Code enforcement
 will begin again on Monday.  Our code enforcement team does an excellent job of addressing issues and will do all they can within the strictures of the ordinance to handle snow removal calls.

Subject: Snow shoveling enforcement


 

Jane,
 
I am wondering if we will have snow shoveling enforcement tomorrow (Saturday).  We have a situation which I was concerned about when Matt made a motion to change the ordinance from
 a "morning after" requirement to a 24 hour requirement as we were doing second reading several years ago.  Because of the way this snow fell, enforcement won't begin today (Friday) as there were a few flakes falling late yesterday.  Will there be any enforcement
 over the weekend?  If not, then it would begin on Monday.  Of course, more snow is expected Monday, which would reset the clock on all the offenders.  We could have slippery sidewalks for a week.
 
I thought of this all the way to the bus stop this morning as I was trying not to slip and fall on all the uncleared sidewalks.  I don't heal like I used to and it was almost enough
 to make me want to turn around and drive instead.  Fortunately I didn't fall - yet.
 
My sidewalk is clean and dry - which the Camera can verify if they like.  We shoveled twice as it was coming down and used salt liberally.
