The City does not clear snow or maintain the grass on private property. Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their private property.
The following is a listing of community agencies that MAY be able to assist seniors or the disabled with snow clearing. This is not a free service or an emergency service. This is a brokered working program where workers are paid an hourly rate for services provided. Payment arrangements should be discussed with the agency.
Snow maintenance: steps, walkways, driveways.
Summer/spring maintenance: grass cutting, raking of leaves.
