Milton DPW reports winter workload; Council declines library plowing
Summary
Public Works Director Sam Shaffer said crews had plowed and salted once so far, urged residents to use off-street parking to aid plowing, and reminded that Christmas tree pickup starts Jan. 13. Council declined a request to plow the Milton Public Library driveway after equipment and liability concerns were raised.
Public Works Director Sam Shaffer told Council that since the new year crews had plowed and salted once and were doing winter maintenance, including bringing picnic tables in from pavilions and removing graffiti and holiday decorations.
Shaffer asked residents with off-street parking to use it because on-street parking "makes it harder for the crews to plow and get around." He reminded the public that Christmas tree pickup will begin Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, by ward.
When Council considered a request to have DPW plow the Milton Public Library driveway, Mr. Derr questioned liability and Shaffer advised the driveway is narrow with diagonal parking and that "The DPW trucks are not made to plow private areas, and it would be very hard to maneuver in that lot." An initial motion to approve the plowing died for lack of a second; Council later voted to decline plowing, with Mr. Scheimreif recorded in opposition.
