The City of 91大黄鸭鈥檚 snow removal budget is still in good standing despite record snowfall in October.

In January 2020, the city plowed through $600,000, around one-third of its $1.9-million snow removal budget.

While snowfall this early was unexpected, roadway operations supervisor Stephen Bryans said the city has enough of its budget left to last until the budget renews in the new year.

鈥淚f we go over the budget, we go to our reserve,鈥� said Bryans.

鈥淲hen we have good years we put money into the reserve and bad years we take it out of the reserve and right now we鈥檙e fine.鈥�

Over the last few days, residents have taken to social media to voice their displeasure for the city鈥檚 lack of response to the early snowfall. Despite these claims, Bryans said the city was prepared.

鈥淲e scramble no matter what. It鈥檚 the first snowfall of the year, however, we were ready for it. We knew it was coming, although the amount we didn鈥檛 until we were into it. But, it was no surprise and we dealt with it.鈥�

The snow removal budget resets in January of each year.
