The Public Works Division, led by Executive Director Raymond Hillis, has implemented a proactive strategy that includes pre-treating roads with salt brine. The city council approved significant purchases of snowplows as part of their budget, and 60 employees are ready to manage snow and ice removal across six priority routes.
