Changes to the city’s snow and ice removal policy topped the list of new business to be discussed at the Hoisington City Council meeting Monday night. City Manager Jonathan Mitchell proposed an amended policy following the Thanksgiving weekend ice event that the city was late to respond to because it was not adequately prepared.“Our snow and ice removal efforts did not meet the expectations of our community and the city needs to do better,” Mitchell said. The main challenge was the city did not have enough sand and salt on hand to deal with the at least half an inch of ice that accumulated over Thursday and Friday, Nov. 26 and 27, followed by below freezing temperatures Saturday and Sunday that turned roads essentially into skating rinks.
