The Council received a memo from the City Administrator dated February 6, SIDEWALK 1984, concerning sidewalk snow shoveling, with a draft of a letter that SNOW REMOVAL could be sent to property owners reminding them of the snow removal re- quirements. Mr. Asleson said he contacted the City of Minneapolis today for informa- tion on its enforcement program. Its policy is more lenient in residential areas than commercial areas and anything more than a duplex is considered commercial. Councilmember Humphrey said any law has to rely heavily on voluntary compliance and publicizing it will help. He also said the policy on which paths and sidewalks the City is responsible for plowing should be reviewed. Councilmember Branning said part of the responsibility of owning a home is shoveling the sidewalk and the current ordinance should continue to be enforced. Acting Mayor Holton asked how many tickets were issued this year? Police Chief Rivers said 180 warnings were given and after the warnings, seven tickets were issued. Acting Mayor Holton suggested Staff review the ordinance for possible clarification, but proceed with enforcement, as in the past, until the next meeting.
