Committee notes requirement to take additional 5,000 tons of road salt under agreement
Summary
Staff told the Public Works Committee the city can take another 5,000 tons of salt under its agreement and may do so through April 30; the committee received and filed the report and noted storage and capacity considerations.
The Public Works Committee received an update Jan. 27 on the city's road salt usage and supply obligations.
Staff reported that, under the city's salt agreement, the municipality is required to accept an additional 5,000 tons of salt and that it may take delivery as late as April 30. With relatively few winter events to date, staff said the city is waiting for additional demand to use the allocation and noted a need to identify storage or placement for the salt.
A motion to receive and file the report was made and seconded; the committee approved it by voice vote. Staff did not identify specific storage locations or costs during the meeting; those details remain to be determined.
