Council adopts resolution for post‑storm debrief on January snow event

On Feb. 10 the city council adopted a resolution requesting the Committee on Public Works and Transportation convene a full debrief of the January 2026 snow event. The resolution asks for an operational review — number of pieces of equipment deployed, comparisons to prior storms, impacts on street access and businesses, emergency access issues, and any recommended funding or staffing changes.

Councilor Cantuolo, a co‑sponsor, said he found the city's response underwhelming and wants all relevant departments — community maintenance, traffic and parking, police, fire, EMS and the school department — to participate and provide data and recommendations. Council Vice President Dion moved to refer the matter to the committee; the council approved the resolution and referred it to Public Works and Transportation for a scheduled debrief.
