RESOLUTION NO. 65 -103
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING VILLAGE COUNCIL
POLICY PERTAINING TO SIDEWALK CLEARANCE
WHEREAS, questions pertaining to the removal of snow and ice
accumulations from public sidewalks and walkways has been raised
before the Council; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council reviewed and considered the
several policy alternatives available in regard to such clearance; and
WHEREAS, the Village Council has determined that the limited
extent of sidewalk construction makes many of these alternatives un-
reasonable at the present time.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Village Council of
the Village of Brooklyn Center as follows:
1. The Village Council shall not by ordinance require property
owners to remove natural accumulations of snow and ice
from walkways and sidewalks abutting their property.
2. It is the opinion of the Council that should the Village
require the removal of snow and ice accumulations,
the costs for such removal should be assessed against
the benefited property after proper public hearings.
