Accordingly,this sub-committee will <br /> incorporate the Policy Sub-Committee and make recommendation to the whole <br /> committee on <br /> • Snow removal policies and publicity <br /> • Standards for construction and replacement—i.e. as Sidewalks are replaced and <br /> rebuilt,what is the most economical way to deliver pavement that affords � <br /> aesthetics acceptable to the community <br /> • Maintenance-proposal for funding and development of a master plan that is <br /> consistent with construction standards <br /> To recommend and promote these policies the Sub-committee will <br /> • Prepare material for the Sidewalk website,participate in public meetings and <br /> • Conduct interviews with DPW personnel in neighboring communities <br /> Educate public and promote current programs and policies <br /> Francine's draft is circulating for comment. This will be used as an article for the <br /> Minuteman,the website and the basis of pubic discussion to explain current policies of <br /> snow removal and the limitations stemming from limited resources. We also recommend <br /> that a note about snow removal practices be put in the fall tax bill. <br /> Survey—Marianne has a comprehensive draft of questions about snow removal. Lisa and <br /> Marianne will expand this to include broader issues i.e. construction materials, duties and <br /> responsibilities, funds expended(not budgeted), number of personnel, decision makers <br /> for new construction. Any information learned from the survey will support the DPW <br /> Dept.'s accredita.tian effort. <br /> Assignments <br /> Jeanne-invite a landscape architect to join the Sub-committee <br /> - get a list of Towns to include in survey <br />
