County Board passes Snow Ordinance

Here's a link to the Sun Gazette story on the snow ordinance passed by the County Board this past weekend:

It goes into effect immediately, although county staff will have the next few months to develop implementation strategies before Mother Nature's winter wrath returns.

The new ordinance will apply to both residential and commercial property, and will require snow to be removed from sidewalks within 24 to 36 hours of a storm, depending on how much snow or ice has fallen....
