AGREEMENT FOR THE REMOVAL OF SNOW & ICE ON SIDEWALKS ABUTTING
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve an agreement with Jeff Reisinger
Lawn Service, Inc. for removing snow and ice on sidewalks abutting urban residential properties.
Overview
Section 7-3-8 of the City Code provides that it shall be unlawful for the owner or the occupant of real
property to fail to remove snow and ice on sidewalks abutting their property within 48 hours after the
snow or ice has been deposited. After giving the owner or occupant two days advance written notice of
the non-compliance, the City may have the snow and ice removed and assess the cost against the
property. The process is similar to how the City handles complaints regarding long grass and weeds on
properties.
Jeff Reisinger Lawn Service, Inc. responded to Planning Department staff’s request for performing this
service with a quote of $45/hour for shoveling, per property (with a one hour minimum), $52/hour for
snow blowing, per property (with a one hour minimum), and $35 per 50 lb bag of salt.
Primary Issues to Consider
This agreement is in response to complaints from residents last winter regarding neighbors not removing
snow and ice on sidewalks abutting their property. It is a public safety issue, especially when it affects kids
trying to get to their bus stop.
