It covers a lot of different weather events, but the main thing is to help the municipality if for some reason unforeseen weather\u2026 comes in and challenges the municipality getting it [roads, sidewalks] done in the times and tables set up in the minimum maintenance standards,\u201d he said, adding that issues faced by municipalities could extend to equipment failure, a delay in getting parts, or the possibility that a significant part of the municipal operations workforce could be down due to COVID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Boucock said there is no intent to use the ability to declare such an event unless it is necessary, it does protect the municipality by halting maintenance requirements until the advisory is lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not to be used all the time, not planning on using it but it\u2019s there. It\u2019s a tool. It\u2019s in our back pocket if we need it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Director of operations and protective services Steve Hernen told council the issue arose following discussions with the District and area municipalities about helping one another in the event of significant weather and staff shortages due to COVID. He said calling a Significant Weather Statement is how the District plans to handle staff shortages if they occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve [District staff] got the authority downloaded to them that they can just do it. If council doesn\u2019t want to pass this and we run into the same situations, it would simply mean that we\u2019d have to call an emergency council meeting and get council to make that declaration. So, this is just eliminating that one step,\u201d said Hernen. \u201cThe intent of it certainly is not to use it on a regular basis. It was more so with this whole COVID, and this planning, and back three, four weeks ago when the government was saying start to plan for, you know, 30 or 40 per cent workforce shortages, we realized that here\u2019s one thing we can do to help shore that up, if you will, if we run into staffing problems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Council approved the bylaw to delegate the authority to staff to declare such an event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Town of Huntsville\u2019s director of operations will be able to declare a Significant Weather Event in order to suspend minimum maintenance requirements, protect the municipality from liability, and caution [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":108606,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[2626,188],"class_list":["post-108551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-significant-weather-events","tag-town-of-huntsville"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
