Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, August 15, 2022 Page 18 Mr. Sipos stated, that's not up to me. In a perfect world for the Service Department, yes, during snow and leaf season that would be the best scenario. With our safety vehicles, I understand that the cul-de-sac was put in and the trucks do have a turning radius. As to my trucks, and you can only cut those trucks so tight you can't drive over the middle so the bigger the truck the wider the turning radius so I do understand from that perspective with buses and fire trucks. That's depending on if cars decide to park right at the edge of the curb. If they are 300 feet off the curb which they are sometimes., we can't get a big truck around there. As I do plow the snow and push it over, it does create an ice bank. It just keeps on building out so those cars do have to push farther and farther into the road or sometimes it becomes difficult for me to get a snow truck around there. We haven't had a bad winter in 15 years. This past winter we did. I would expect more to come. For me, safety -wise, it would be better if there are no cars in the cul-de- sac. The houses on the other side of the cul-de-sac, they don't have much frontage. If you park in front of their house you are in front of their mailbox or in front of their driveway. They don't get much room on the other side of the cul-de-sac. I do know that because we are out working in that area all the time. Mrs. Jurcisek asked, Council President? Council President Schutt replied, sure. Mrs. Jurcisek asked, do you want me to reserve my comments for when there is a motion on the floor or can I make some comments now? I know we are still technically in the open portion so I wasn't sure whether you want me to reserve the comments. Council President Schutt replied, you might as well say it now. Mrs. Jurcisek stated, a couple of comments. One, Mrs. Maureen Washock actually sent an e- mail with some pictures this evening. Also, in support of what Chief Carcioppolo from Safety Services and what Mr. Sipos has said for the safety of the Service Department as well, if Council remembers last winter there was concern brought to Council as far as Mayfield students walking in the snow to meet the bus stop as well. They were having to walk in the street for various reasons. With snow season, you can't control how much that is as well. I would like Council to consider that as well that students would still have to be walking. The bus would not be able to get up there. A member of the audience stated, I'd like to say something to that if I can. Our side of the sidewalks were cleared. We cleared our sidewalks every morning at 8:00 a.m. so our dispute could easily be walk down our sidewalks. We clear them all the way to the bus. I just want to make that point. Council President Schutt asked, are there any other comments? There were none.
