Junction City Commissioners received updates on a number of topics during their Tuesday night meeting.
Snow removal procedures were covered by Public Works Director Ray Ibarra. Priorities for removal include when 2 inches of snow fall on major arterial streets, 2-3 inches on collector streets and 4 inches on residential streets.
Emergency snow routes include mostly arterial and collector routes. Vehicles must removed from those streets during snow storms.
City public works crews work 12-hour shifts removing snow but they are currently short on personnel. Five employees are assigned to each shift but when fully staffed there are eight employees per crew.
