The Mayor stated, “We actually have set routes for all of our DPW drivers….the priority routes are…the fire station, the police station, the hospital…we branch off after that. ….There are about 3 plow routes we are short, just because we are down 7 DPW workers….We’re rehired back our seasonal golf course workers to help us plow..” According to the Mayor there are about 13-14 plow routes with about 3 plows assigned per route. The Mayor stated, “We do hire a lot of contractors to help us go out and plow…Our contractors also go out and plow all of our school buildings, our school parking lots, and the City and municipal parking lots too once the roads are done. We do prioritize the roads over the parking lots..
