Clyde Park council revises snow-plowing policy, sets street priorities and will research plow truck replacement
Summary
Council member Roger Chandler presented a prioritized street list for snow removal and said the town’s plow truck needs replacement; the council voted to revise the Snow Removal Operations Policy to clarify Priority One–Three streets and Chandler will research replacement options.
Council member Roger Chandler presented a prioritized list of streets to be cleared under the town’s snow-removal policy and said the plow truck needs replacement. The council reviewed three priority tiers: Priority One (e.g., Miles 1st–3rd; Hwy 89 to Miles; Hwy 89 and 1st to the high school), Priority Two (connector segments and key access streets), and Priority Three (all other streets and alleys). Chandler said he will begin researching information on replacing the plow truck.
Council member Teresa Saari made a motion to revise the Snow Removal Operations Policy and Procedures to make the Priority One, Two and Three descriptions more specific. The motion was seconded by Council member Brian Eckenrod and approved by the council. The transcript does not record a roll-call vote tally for this motion.
Why it matters: clearer priority definitions will guide which streets receive first attention during storms and will inform procurement decisions if the council pursues a replacement plow truck.
Next steps: Council member Chandler will research replacement-plow options; the council has directed staff to revise the snow-removal policy language to reflect the specified priorities.
