Summary

After business owners and residents complained about uncleared alleys and a lack of notification, trustees confirmed the village will clear sidewalks, the village parking lot and the downtown business district and aim for a consistent plowing policy.

Business owner Scott Zeilinger raised concerns about snow removal near his business and requested permission to clear snow if village crews cannot, and he asked for notification in the event the village will not plow. Resident Mike Sammus said the alley between Lancaster Avenue and Cass Avenue has not been receiving snow removal.

Chair Joe Hobelman responded that the village will clear snow from village sidewalks, the village parking lot and the downtown business district going forward and that the board should maintain a consistent plowing policy. No ordinance or new written policy was adopted at the meeting; the board’s statement establishes the village’s operational expectation going forward.
