Kearney officials thank staff and residents after heavy snowfall
Summary
After a record heavy snow event, the mayor and aldermen praised public‑works crews, first responders, tow operators and residents for clearing streets and maintaining essential services.
City leaders spent part of the meeting recognizing city staff and residents for their response to a recent heavy snowfall that exceeded 10 inches in places.
The mayor offered a public thank you to essential workers: "a sincere and heartfelt thank you to all of our city of Kearney essential workers, not just our public works department," he said, noting that wet, heavy snow tested equipment and staff endurance. Aldermen echoed that thanks, with several describing quick plowing on residential streets and noting the role of tow operators and citizen patience in enabling efficient cleanup.
City Administrator Shelley reminded the board that the next meeting will be Tuesday, Jan. 21 because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
