Their immediate answer was to ask for more money. No mention of doing a review of how they actually tackle major storms. I see this as just an easy way to ask for more money out of my pocket without any tangible results. If the money is only going to be spent when the need arises (6" plus) snow falls. What will happen in those years when the money isn't needed. It undoubtedly will be put in a reserve to be raided at a later date by some senior admin trying to justify the need for spending in other areas. We have all seen this happen before. I would assume most of the public want an actual audit of how this service is operating and bring suggestions that will save us from padding a few private contractors. Will overtime be outlawed during snow times? Will they actually enforce the parking bands? Will vehicles be towed at considerable owners expense? We need answers but it doesn't look like City Council is interested in getting any. Chalk up to another good job by the admin to get more money of the citizens of Saskatoon. APPARENTLY WE ASKED FOR IT!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358623058641521276noreply@blogger.com
