To the Honorable Board:
First, my congratulations and thanks for the terrific job the City of Somerville and all participants accomplished during the last 4 weeks of inclement weather. The historic snowfall, below average temperatures and extremely dangerous traveling conditions have tested this city, its residents and businesses to its limits. It is my opinion that all have passed the test with flying colors.
I am requesting, however that the city amend its policy regarding the time allotted to property owners for snow and ice removal. I request that the city revert to the prior time allotments under this ordinance. The last minute request by the administration, which the Board of Aldermen adopted, concerning the time allotment is unnecessary, unrealistic and unmanageable by the vast majority of Somerville property owners.
I do not object to the amended fines, as adopted by the Board.
Thank you for your consideration.
Joe Lynch
