During the recent Bountiful City Council Work Session, council members discussed an innovative initiative to engage the community in a fun and meaningful way—naming the city’s snowplows. This idea stems from positive feedback received from other cities that have implemented similar programs, highlighting both staff and resident satisfaction.

Council members expressed pride in Bountiful’s snow removal services, with one member sharing a recent neighborhood gathering where residents praised the city’s efficiency in handling snow. This sentiment reflects a strong community appreciation for the city’s public works efforts, particularly during winter months.

To move forward with the snowplow naming initiative, the council plans to solicit input from residents and snowplow drivers. A proposed advisory group, consisting of staff and possibly council members, will help establish criteria for acceptable names, ensuring they are appropriate and free from any derogatory meanings. This collaborative approach aims to foster community involvement while maintaining a respectful and fun atmosphere.

The council's discussions also emphasized gratitude towards the public works crews for their hard work and dedication. As the city prepares to implement this initiative, it hopes to strengthen community ties and celebrate the essential services that keep Bountiful running smoothly during winter.

The meeting concluded with a brief break before the regular session, where further community-focused discussions are expected to take place. This initiative not only showcases the council's commitment to engaging residents but also highlights the pride Bountiful residents have in their city’s services.
