E-11 Discussion was held on the IUOE # 49 Supplemental Snow Plow
Operations for supplemental snow plow operators in the event of a
huge snow storm, these uni.on people would be available to help
the City snow plow people.
Wishing to be heard was Greg Horsman of the Public Service Dept.
;Street and Alley Div. He stated that the current crew can handle
the'snow falls and that this agreement is not necessary. The
plowers go out after a three inch snow fall instead of in the past
waiting until the snow stopped falling. This enables them to
keep up with the cleaning of the streets.
Councilmember Canfield stated that these people would only be used
if we had a huge snowfall two or more days in a row. Our own
staff would be tired and not able to handle the work at that point.
Roger Plumb, Public Services Dir. stated that he agrees our local
crew does an excellent job, but, he also is concerned about the
time that the City plowers are not able to keep up and eventually
would need rest.
Mr. Horsman stated that a few years ago when we had a huge storm,
the crews had smaller plows and different blades. Now they can
get around faster with bigger plows and wing blades, etc.
