The Cost of Winter

Rob Perry, superintendent of Public Works, reported at last night's Common Council Infrastructure and Code Committee meeting that dealing with the snow this winter has so far cost the city $73,134. 11.

Perry commented, "We're still a little under budget, but anything could happen in March."

Update: The amount quoted above--$73,134.11--does not include overtime, which, given that our snowstorms this year chose to happen on weekends, was substantial. The actual total cost of this winter so far is $117,220.72.

    I kinda figured the big snowstorm was going to cost at least $100k in resources and OT. DPW did a fantastic job and didn’t even delay trash collection.
