Council Thanks Crews for Deicing; City Says Park Landowner Has Not Responded
Summary
Council members praised public works deicing efforts during recent winter weather and asked for expanded service in residential areas; Director Madden said the city has received no new communication from park landowners but remains open to negotiations.
Council members on Feb. 3 thanked public-works staff for proactive deicing on arterials and around the Porter Way roundabout and asked for expanded service to residential areas where residents reported missed streets.
Director Madden said crews have focused on a snow‑removal map that prioritizes minor and major arterials generated through the city's GIS program and that the city had three vehicles out sanding and deicing on the day of the meeting; staff planned to extend service into Hill Creek the following afternoon.
On a separate parks matter, council members asked for an update about ongoing negotiations with private landowners related to a state‑age park (described in the meeting as 'the park' and earlier materials). Director Madden said the city has not received any communication from the landowners to date and that the lack of a reply does not bar future negotiations. No new timeline or negotiation details were provided.
