Members of a Northampton City council committee and the Disability Commission met (virtual) to discuss the citysnow removal ordinance, public outreach, enforcement responsibilities and operational limits of Police and the Department of Public Works ahead of winter. Residents read statements about health and accessibility impacts; police and DPW described staffing and logistical constraints; the city solicitor explained limited municipal liability for snow/ice; the group discussed options including targeted enforcement details, adding other departments (Division of Community Care), volunteer coordination, and expanded outreach (robocalls/PSAs). The committee set a goal to produce a final report by December and scheduled a public forum on lighting and mobile food trucks for Nov. 12.
