Guidelines for snow removal program
- Only residents who cannot shovel snow due to a temporary or permanent disability, regardless of age, are eligible. The applying resident must provide a statement, from a medical professional verifying that the disability prevents you from shoveling snow. A copy of an example statement is included in the packet.
- If a resident has a permanent disability that prevents him/her from shoveling snow for the foreseeable future, a yearly verification of disability is not required, but an application form does need to be completed on a yearly basis.
- If more than one person resides in the house, a doctor’s note will be required for each individual stating that they are disabled and cannot shovel snow; if they are not disabled, the disabled resident is not eligible for the program.
- A seasonal charge of $50.00 is required prior to the start of the program and is non-refundable. This charge will cover any and all plowing for the winter season, no matter how many snowstorms occur.
- This program is for removal of snow on driveways only, not sidewalks.
- You must sign the waiver of liability and the participation sheet that are provided and return them along with the $50.00 fee to the City.
Participants should be aware that driveway clearing will only be performed after a snowfall of two inches (2”) or more and that driveways will only be cleared after all streets and public facilities are cleared.
