City Snow Costs Under Budget


The city Vernon's snow removal budget is in good shape.  Public works manager James Rice says they're able to carry money forward into the new year.  "In 2010, our total snow and ice control budget is $575,000 and we spent $366,000, so we were under budget."  This year's budget is similar in size and Rice says it's early days yet for that.  He says the crews have been doing a good job despite the larger snowfalls of late.  "We've had quite a few events, but they've been relatively small, so it's nothing we can't handle."
