The Franklin City Board of Public Works and Safety received a snow‑cleanup expense report on Feb. 2 that quantified city costs from a recent multi‑day event. Street Commissioner Brett Jones presented the breakdown and thanked multiple departments for their response.
Jones said 38 total employees participated in cleanup operations, recording 1,059 straight‑time hours and 702 overtime hours.
