Council discusses snow removal

During Monday night’s regular meeting, Newton City Council heard from City Administrator Robert Knabel about snow removal.

The recent snow storm left many residents frustrated with the city, and Knabel admitted things could have been better. He told the council that a number of employees, some who have worked for the city for more than 20 years, said the storm was one of the worst they experienced.

“We had nine staff members working 12-hour shifts,” Knabel said. “Even though there was a considerable amount of work and effort, I think that we would (all) agree that we are not satisfied with the results.”
