SNOW ADVISORY

 

Be A Good Neighbor – Clear Your Sidewalks

City Ordinance 136
SIDEWALK REGULATION
136.03 REMOVAL OF SNOW, ICE AND ACCUMULATIONS.  It is the responsibility of the abutting property owners to remove snow, ice and accumulations promptly from sidewalks. If a property owner does not remove snow, ice or accumulations within twenty-four (24) hours, the City may do so and assess the costs against the property owner for collection in the same manner as a property tax.

 

Because Keri Lamberson has resigned from the city council, this has created a vacancy on the New Sharon City Council.  The City Council intends to fill the vacancy by appointment on January 16, 2019.  The electors of the City of New Sharon have the right to file a petition requiring that this vacancy be filled by a special election.  If within 14 days of publishing this notice, there is filed with the city clerk a petition with 200 signatures or 15 percent of the total voting list in the last preceding regular municipal election, whichever is less, which requests a special election to fill the vacancy, then the appointment is temporary and the council shall call for a special election.  If no petition is filed, then the appointment is permanent until the next regular election.
