Public works reports heavy plowing, warns of limited ice-skating days
Summary
City official Brandon reported crews have been plowing daily and that warm weather may end ice-skating on local rinks despite cold temperatures; commissioners heard this in the city officials report section.
During the city officials reports, Brandon updated commissioners on winter operations: crews have been plowing nearly every day and the city has used significant amounts of salt. He said recent sunlight has caused ice to melt in places, which may shorten ice-skating availability even when temperatures remain cold.
Brandon summarized operations and schedule implications to commissioners: "Crew's been out pretty much every day with, with plowing. We're blowing through our salt pretty good... Believe it or not, even with it being as cold out today as it was, that ice was melting due to the sun." He added that nicer weather is expected and that the construction season window (April–October) will shape work planning for related projects discussed later in the meeting.
