From YouTube: Winter Preparedness Press Conference
Description
Mayor Walsh and Boston city officials will hold a press conference to discuss preparations underway in the city for winter weather, and resources available to Boston residents.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
coming
out
today.
I
want
to
thank
to
see
the
city
leadership.
That's
with
us
this
morning.
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
workers
and
staff
here
at
Public
Works
for
the
great
in
transportation
for
the
great
job
they
do.
We
hit
them
up
we're
here
today
to
talk
about
how
the
city
is
preparing
for
the
upcoming
winter.
That's
coming.
Actually,
we
started
I.
Think
last
week
we
saw
this
summer
we'll
be
at
the
hottest
summer
on
record.
A
Climate
change
brings
a
lot
of
unpredictability
to
our
weather
and,
in
fact,
tomorrow,
we're
anticipating
the
coldest
Thanksgiving
on
record
here
in
in
Boston,
but
like
always,
the
city's
ready
and
prepared
to
handle
anything
that
the
winter
throws
at
us
here
this
winter,
we're
gonna
do
everything
we
can
to
keep
our
roads
safe
during
and
after
a
storm
just
to
be
clear.
There's
no
storm
coming
tonight,
so
this
is.
This
is
about
a
prep
for
the
for
the
next
few
months.
Here
we
have
over
14,000
tons
of
salt
here
in
this.
A
In
this
lot
we
have
200
pieces
of
snow
and
ice
equipment
ready
to
go.
You
can
see
some
of
it
behind
us.
We
have
the
capability
to
expand
out
pieces
of
equipment
on
the
road
over
800
pieces
when
we
start
to
get
some
of
these
bigger
snowstorms
and
these
Nor'easters
that
might
be
coming.
We
have
more
equipment
to
service
our
growing
bike
network.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
more
dedicated
bike
lanes
in
the
city
than
we
have
had
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
so
we're
making
sure
that,
as
we
clear
our
streets,
we're
also
going
to
be
making
sure
the
bike
lanes
are
clear.
We've
also
ordered
a
third
truck
mounted
snow
blower
to
remove
the
snow
and
main
routes
throughout
the
city.
If
you
remember
three
is
in
2015,
when
we
had
all
the
snow,
we
were
pushing
it
and
storing
it
and
in
taking
it
off
the
street.
A
Now
we
have
these
truck
mounted
snow
blowers
that
can
actually
shoot
the
snow
in
two
parks
in
place
like
that
I'll
shoot
them
into
dump
trucks,
to
get
them
off
the
street
quicker
getting
snow
off
the
street
as
quickly
and
off
our
sidewalks
as
quickly
as
possible.
It's
crucial
to
keep
our
city
moving
forward
and
also
allowing
the
folks
in
our
city
to
get
around
that's
what
we
want
to
remind
all
property
owners
that
there
are
quiet
should
clean
at
least
42
inches
of
path
to
accommodate.
A
Will
she
has
Astralis,
after
a
snowstorm,
we're
going
to
keep
reminding
people
about
this
and
chief
Osgood's
going
to
talk
a
little
more
about
keeping
our
streets
and
not
people?
During
and
after
a
snowstorm
keeping
people
informed,
there's
also
a
very
top
priority
of
ours.
Our
lyric
Boston
system
keeps
people
in
the
loop
loop.
We've
made
it
even
easier
to
sign
up
and
receive
alerts
either
by
text,
email
or
phone,
or
if
you
want
all
three,
we
can
make
certain
lis
make
sure
that
you
get
all
three
notifications
as
the
winter
goes
on.
A
We
have
these
alerts
in
many
different
languages
and
if
you
already
have
and
I
encourage
you
to
sign
up
at
Boston,
gov,
slash,
slash
emergencies,
alert,
that's
Boston,
gov,
slash
emergencies,
alert
in
case
of
school
closures,
Boston
Public
Schools
will
continue
to
alert
families.
It
schools
are
closed.
Ibc,
where
have
centers
will
open
for
children
seven
and
older,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
kids
have
a
safe
place
to
go
and
a
one
place
to
go
out
while
students
are
in
work
and
generally.
A
But
what
I've
tried
to
do
in
the
snow
when
the
snow
is
coming
is
try
and
cancel
school
enough
time
ahead
of
time,
so
parents
can
make
arrangements
to
make
daycare
arrangements
and
other
arrangements.
I
know
that
oftentimes
people
wait
till
the
next
morning
to
cancel
school
but
I
try
it.
We
try
to
do
it
the
day
before.
Just
so,
we
can
understand
so.
Parents
have
that
time
to
take
make
the
appropriate
arrangements
as
much
as
possible
we're
committed
to
keeping
our
city
services
running
when
normal
storms
hit.
A
So
we
don't
like
to
close
city
hall
unless
it's
gonna
put
our
employees
and
and
there's
a
big
push
to
keep
people
off
the
streets
like
to
keep
City,
Hall
open
and
the
services
that
we
have.
That
includes
our
three
one.
One
hotline
constituent
service
behind
that
is
always
open,
regardless
of
the
weather,
because
we
need
to
make
sure
that
people
have
an
opportunity.
If
they
need
to
contact
us
they
can.
We
have
extra
staff
on
during
storms
and
we
use
neighborhood
services
and
we
use
now.
A
We
have
the
ability
to
use
all
City
Hall
staff
if
we
need
to
to
tie
them
into
the
system
to
be
able
to
have
more
people
on
the
phones
in
the
case
of
emergency.
They
answer
questions
like
things
like
closings
plowing,
finding
places
to
park,
and
sometimes
our
Police
Department
also
helps
emergency
personnel
get
to
work.
During
a
bad
snowstorm,
we've
been
able
to
take
doctors
and
nurses
to
the
hospitals
to
make
sure
that
our
hospitals
don't
have
any
delays
at
all
in
the
care.
A
As
always,
I
municipal
parking
lots
are
available
for
residents
during
snow
emergencies
and
while
we're
on
the
topic
of
parking,
one
issue
that
always
comes
up
is
space
neighbors.
It's
probably
the
best
question
I
get
our
every
year.
The
48
hours
spacesaver
rule
is
in
effect
everywhere,
except
the
south
end.
A
The
south
end
has
been
able
to
figure
out
a
way
to
not
have
space
savers,
the
air
in
the
live
in
peace
and
harmony,
but
that
doesn't
work
in
every
other
neighbor
in
the
city,
so
we're
gonna
continue
to
have
the
48
hour
rule
for
shoveling
a
spot
out
keeping
it
yeah.
When
we
declare
a
snow
emergency.
Civic
chief
of
civic
engagement,
John
Smith
can
talk
more
about
naval
concerns
during
snowstorms
in
a
few
minutes.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
look
out
for
the
most
vulnerable
winds.
A
It
can
be
a
hot
time
for
our
seniors
and
people
that
our
host
pounds.
We
have
programs
in
place
to
help
everyone
stay
warm
and
healthy.
Our
seniors,
safe
program
through
our
Boston
Home
Center
help
seniors
replace
their
heating
systems.
We
were
pushing
it
all
summer,
long
and
all
spring
and
summer
long
that
we
could
replace
these
right
now.
We
can
still
do
it,
but
it's
a
very
difficult
time
to
be
replacing
boilers
and
people's
Falls.
A
But
if
people,
if
seniors
out
there
nee
have
a
heating
system
that
needs
to
repair
we're
asking
you
to
call
the
city,
it's
also
important
that
we
encourage
people
to
call
and
seniors
to
call
301
to
get
connected
to
our
elderly
Commission.
We
have
services
for
our
seniors
in
the
city
of
Boston,
for
the
elderly
Commission,
so
we're
asking
to
call
3-1-1.
They
offer
great
programs
citywide
and
help
residents
get
access
to
tell
links
like
fuel
and
food
and
other
types
of
assistance.
A
Also,
as
we
move
forward
here
into
tonight-
and
tomorrow
is
gonna,
be
one
of
those
cases.
These
months
are
very
difficult
for
our
homeless
individuals,
we're
working
with
our
nonprofit
partners
and
our
state
partners
to
make
sure
that
we
have
safe,
warm
shelters
for
everyone
in
need.
That
includes
overflow
of
beds
and
warming,
centers
and
other
services.
At
the
same
time,
we're
going
to
work
towards
continuing
our
ultimate
goal
of
getting
people
into
permanent
housing.
A
We
we're
seeing
a
little
bit
of
reduction
in
in
in
homelessness,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we're
not
we
don't
have
people
on
the
street
so
seeing
a
reduction
is
one
thing
and
getting
people
off
the
streets
in
other,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
people
off
the
street
and
into
shelters
and
eventually
into
permanent
housing.
Sheila
tell
and
chief
Dylan's
gonna
talk
more
about
the
efforts
to
make
sure
that
people
have
a
place
to
call
home.
Lastly,
I
want
to
request
that
everyone.
This
winter
looks
out
for
each
other.
A
We're
asking
you
if
somebody,
if
you
save
a
space
and
somebody
take
your
space,
treat
them
with
dignity,
not
by
not
by
vandalizing
their
vehicle,
not
by
threatening
each
other,
not
by
being
difficult.
We
need
to
do
is
reach
out
and
help
each
other
in
some
of
these
times.
When
you
have
a
snowstorm
like
this,
we
just
never
know
in
New
England
and
in
Boston
what
type
of
weather
we're
gonna
have
so
working
together,
it's
a
lot
easier
than
working
against
each
other.
A
If
you
see
someone
out
in
a
storm
or
in
the
cold
weather
that
you're
concerned
about,
if
you're
driving
tomorrow-
and
you
see
somebody
on
the
street,
we're
asking
you
to
call
3-1-1
or
of
a
situation,
you
think
might
be
an
emergency
situation
call
9-1-1.
So
we
can
address
the
situation,
be
a
good
neighbor
shovel
offer
the
shovel
shovel
elderly
or
people
that
might
be
home
house
bound,
sidewalks
we're
asking.
Also,
if
you
have
a
hydrant
for
any
house
shell
via
hydrant,
you
have
a
crosswalk
in
front
of
house.
A
If
you
could
travel
up
the
handicap,
ramp,
Thea
and
I
would
make
accessibility.
Last
year,
one
of
the
storms,
we
had
a
lot
of
lot
of
ramps
more
and
shovel
a
lot
of
handicap
transfer
in
shovels.
So
we
received
a
lot
of
complaints
about
that
and
three
or
four
days
after
a
strong.
If
we
get
a
large
amount
of
snow,
it's
nearly
impossible
to
get
the
snow
out
of
those.
We
have
a
jackhammer,
so
we're
asking
people
to
help
us
out
a
little
bit.
A
Small
gestures
mean
a
lot
and
really
help
somebody
in
a
time
of
need
again.
I
want
to
thank
the
incredible
leadership
in
the
city,
and
that
means
every
single
person
works
for
the
city
for
the
work
that
they
do.
I
want
to
thank
the
press,
as
always
for
being
here,
to
spread
the
word
and
thank
you
for
being
a
strong
partner
when
it
comes
to
emergency,
snow
emergencies
and
winter
weather
emergencies.
A
I
especially
want
to
thank
all
of
the
city
workers
who
are
always
out
there
in
the
thickest
of
storms,
plowing
and
salting
the
streets
and
making
sure
that
I
season
up
and
running
so
as
as
people
are
home
on
odd
days
off
when
it
snows
I
city
workers
are
out
there
doing
their
job
and
I
want
to
thank
them.
For
that
now,
our
city
workers
will
be
out
there
tomorrow,
making
sure
that
that
city
runs
as
people
enjoy.
B
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
for
the
city.
As
the
mayor
said,
preparing
for
winter,
responding
to
storms
is
a
team
event
leaving
the
Public
Works
team
is
Michael
Broll.
He
oversees
things
like
the
salt,
pile
of
the
equipment.
Most
importantly
to
the
mayor's
points.
The
women
and
men
from
the
Public
Works
team
are
out
there
plowing
our
streets
and
sanding
our
roads.
On
this
side.
As
mayor
noted,
we've
got
about
fourteen
thousand
tons
of
salt
behind
us.
B
That
is
part
of
what
was
around
forty
four
thousand
tons
through
yesterday
of
salt
in
our
city,
spreaded
salt
sheds
throughout
our
neighborhoods.
It
is
less
than
forty
four
thousand
tons
right
now,
because
last
night
we
spread
a
few
thousand
tons,
making
sure
that
everybody
has
safe
commute
home
last
evening
that
work,
ensuring
that
we've
got
salt
in
the
right
places
at
the
right
times
across
the
city
is
coordinated
by
McDonough.
He
and
Darlene
Williams
for
court
off
to
the
side
right
now,
and
they
do
a
terrific
job
about
doing
that.
B
Work,
as
the
mayor
pointed
out,
preparing
for
winter
and
and
responding
to
a
storm,
is
not
something
you
do
the
day
of
that
work
starts
actually
far
in
advance
of
the
actual
winter.
You
see
that,
in
particular
with
our
central
fleet
team
led
by
Bill
Coughlin
they're
hard
at
work
procuring
the
right
type
of
equipment
like
the
new
ten
wheeler.
We've
got
to
my
right.
B
Well,
as
we
do
a
lot
of
work
on
our
streets,
we
also
have
a
large
team
that
is
making
sure
that
our
sidewalks
are
also
free
and
clear
of
snow
and
that's
a
credit
to
Brian
Coughlin
and
Steve,
tackling
the
entire
Code
Enforcement
Division
they're,
the
ones
who
are
out
there
during
the
course
of
a
storm
and
afterwards
making
sure
that
sidewalks
are
clear
and
that
folks
aren't
putting
snow
from
private
property
back
onto
our
sidewalks
into
our
streets.
Across
all
of
this
team,
though,
perhaps
the
most
important
group
is
actually
the
public
sounds.
B
We
also
think
it's
incredibly
important
for
folks
to
during
the
course
of
a
storm
for
their
safety
and
for
the
effectiveness
of
our
plow
drivers,
to
not
be
on
our
roads
and
said
to
take
public
transportation
to
not
park
near
our
corners
and
when
a
snow
emergency
is
called
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
parking
on
main
arterials,
but
instead
using
one
of
the
parking
lots
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
has
identified.
In
addition,
I
encourage
bees
from
well
prepared
for
any
storm.
B
We
encourage
everybody,
obviously
to
soar,
tune
into
the
media,
to
pay
attention
to
the
city's
social
media
channels,
like
Boston
PWD,
to
sign
up
for
alert
Boston
and
also
to
download
things
like
the
city's
trash
day
app,
which
can
give
people
updates
about
trash
service
and
recycling
service
during
the
course
of
storms
and
as
always,
if
any
emergencies
come
up
for
folks
to
call
911
non-emergency
issues
or
any
questions
that
residents
have
to
call
3-1-1.
So
with
that
again,
we
appreciate
everybody's
working
coordination.
C
Thank
you
Chris.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
we
are
very
concerned
about
our
vulnerable
populations
in
storm
and
winter,
so
we've
been
working
for
the
last
month,
putting
together
a
plan
working
with
our
state
and
nonprofit
partners
on
any
given
night.
The
city
of
Boston
has
a
capacity
to
house,
one
thousand
five
hundred
and
thirty
homeless
individuals
as
we
head
into
winter.
C
We
know
that
we
will
need
more
as
more
people
seek
shelter
so
working
with
the
Boston
rescue
mission,
Pine
Street,
the
Boston
Public
Health
Commission
bridge
over
troubled
water
and
the
New
England
Center
for
homeless
vets.
We
have
secured
capacity
for
additional
200
homeless
beds
for
200
homeless
individuals
in.
In
addition,
those
agencies
will
also
open
their
doors
during
the
day
to
make
sure
that
homeless
individuals
have
a
place
to
keep
warm.
The
Commonwealth
is
working
to
secure
additional
overflow
beds
in
Cambridge,
Quincy,
Plymouth
and
Worcester.
C
C
The
mayor
talked
about
a
wonderful
program,
senior
saves,
which
we
really
encourage
seniors
to
use
because
oftentimes
they
have
very
old
heating
systems,
but
seniors
should
also
know
that
if
they
have
issues
weather
related
emergency
issues
with
their
roof
with
their
windows
with
their
heating
system,
that
may
not
be
replaced,
but
that
is
malfunctioning.
They
should
call
3-1-1
24
hours
a
day
and
we
will
respond
to
their
emergencies.
C
D
We
feel
that
the
residents,
the
ones
that
know
their
neighborhoods
best,
and
so
we
really
rely
on
them
to
let
us
know
if
they're
having
issues
with
snow
blockage
or
anything
during
a
storm
to
call
3-1-1
so
that
we
can
actually
get
somebody
out
there.
If
you
know
of
a
neighbor
who
has
a
person
with
disabilities
or
a
senior
and
you're
worried
about
them
call
3-1-1,
we
can
send
somebody
out
to
do
a
home
visit
to
make
sure
that
that
person
is
actually
safe.
That's
on
their
home.
D
So
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
the
mayor
this
year
has
increased
staffing
at
Boston
three
on
one.
You
can
actually
get
a
live
body
to
24
hours
a
day
and
we
actually
will
have
increased
capacity
as
a
storm
rolls
in
and
have
more
lines
as
the
mayor
mentioned
in
different
offices.
So
some
will
always
answer
the
phone
just
be
a
little
patient
in
the
middle
of
the
height
of
the
storm.
You
know
everybody
calls
right
away
asking
when
your
street
is
going
to
be
plowed.
D
It
takes
a
little
while
to
get
out
there,
but
we
do
appreciate
you
actually
calling
in
and
letting
us
know
and
then
other
little
things
in
the
neighborhood.
Please,
please
PLEASE
shovel
out
your
fire
hydrants
and
the
catch
basins,
and
then
the
ramps,
the
crosswalks,
it's
very
important
that
you
get
to
those
early
because,
as
the
plows
come
by
and
other
than
people
showing
off
their
cars,
you
want
to
make
sure
that
those
areas
are
cleared
out
right
away.
That
is
just
more
helpful.
D
Last
year
we
had
a
couple
incidences
where
residents
on
the
street
emptied
all
the
snow
off
their
cars
into
the
middle
of
the
street.
Please
don't
do
that
when
you
do
that
it
hinders
emergency
vehicles
and
first
responders
from
coming
down
to
your
streets.
It
was
just
kind
of
funny
to
come
down
to
it,
going
actually
taking
a
look
at
the
street
and
seeing
all
the
cars
with
no
snow
and
all
the
snow
in
the
middle
of
the
street.
D
It's
just
important
that
we
all
kind
of
be
calm
and
patient
I
think
we
saw
from
New
York
City
last
Thursday,
where
they
have
shut
down
the
Port
Authority
and
everything
the
city
kind
of
went
a
little
crazy
for
a
little
bit
when
we
put
out
these
notices
spread
off
the
information
share
it
with
your
neighbors
check
with
your
neighbors,
be
proactive
about
the
storm
and
that
way
it
won't
catch.
You
off-guard
we
sent
out
a
lot
of
alerts
through
the
alert
system
and
through
3-1-1
we
do
every.
We
can
do
a
reverse
reverse
message.
D
A
I
also
want
thank
Commissioner
Finn
in
the
Boston
Fire
Department,
who
sent
out
alerts
as
well
to
make
sure
people
shovel
out
the
vents
and
make
sure
that,
in
the
case
of
a
bad
storm,
oftentimes
you'll
see
the
Boston
Fire
Department
out
there
themself
shoveling
out
hydrants
to
make
sure
it's
accessible
and
I
want
to
thank
everyone
here
today
and
one
other
thing
while
I
have
a
captive
audience
are
three
on
line.
It's
just
not
just
for
Snowberry
diseases
for
other
other
issues
that
people
might
have,
and
anyone
that
might
see
this.
A
A
Okay,
I
think
they're
almost
the
same
one.
You
know
a
little
concerned
about
it
because
I
don't
think
people
realize
it's
Thanksgiving.
So
everyone
knows
it's
gonna
be
cold,
but
no
one
realizes
gonna
be
that
cold.
We
kind
of
think
of
the
weather
that
we're
getting
tomorrow,
more
January
weather
than
November
weather,
so
we're
asking
people
if
you
go
to
football
games,
dress
appropriately
layer
make
sure
you
cover
your
face.
Make
sure
you
cover
your
hands,
just
be
careful
when
you're
out
there.
A
If
you're
gonna
do
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
traditions
during
Thanksgiving
is
playing
outside
and
hanging
outside,
maybe
a
football
in
the
odd
with
families
just
just
be
prepared
for
that.
For
that
weather,
because
frostbite
could
settle
in
and
will
you
know,
the
temperatures
I
think
are
gonna
be
seen
to
be
very,
very
cold
tomorrow.
So
will
you
be
poppy
after
tomorrow.
E
A
A
I
think
we're
about
20
24
million
dollars.
You
know
some
obviously
15.
We
had
to
put
I
think
6
1
million
dollars
into
the
budget
2017.
We
might
have
had
a
million
dollars
left
over
twenty.
Sixteen
hundred
million
dollars
left
over
in
the
budget,
but
we
upped
our
budget
because
of
15
storm.
So
roughly
have
twenty
four
million
dollar
twenty
four
million
dollars
budgeted,
but
even
like
last
night,
like
you,
don't
want
to
you,
don't
anticipate
going
out
there
and
spreading
to
tons
of
salt
around
the
city
of
Boston.
You
know
you
know
November
20th.
F
A
A
Sometimes
you
know,
and
again
it's
like
we
need
to
help
each
other.
So
if
they're
running
down
a
road,
they
should
plow
it
they
can
plow
for
us.
If
we're
going
down
a
road,
we
have
the
snow
blower.
We
should
take
it
off
for
them.
I.
Don't
think
that
we
should
have
this
jurisdictional
disputes.
Now
when
it
comes
to
our
city.
E
A
We
will
we
have
to.
We
have
to
have
snow
frosted,
because
that
the
truck
month
are
snow
blowers
in
cases
where
they
can
blow
it
into
a
park.
That's
great,
but
a
lot
of
times,
there's
not
parking
around
this
houses
and
in
businesses.
So
we
have
to
put
them
in
dump
trucks
and
get
them
over
the
parks.
So
we
do
have
the
snow
farms
available.
For
us.
We
lost
the
big
one
in
Southie,
but
we
still
have
them.
B
A
Work
very
closely
now
with
the
state
and
the
nonprofit
partners
to
make
sure
and
all
the
chilla
come
up
here
and
talk
more
about
it.
But
we
work
very
closely
to
coordinate
services
and
I.
Think
that
one
thing
that
in
the
past
might
have
been
everyone
kind
of
did
their
own
thing
and
that's
not
efficient
and
that's
not
a
good
way
to
do
business
and
the
way
to
do
it
now
is
share
share
opportunity.
A
So,
if
we're,
if
we're
having
a
problem
in
Boston
I,
think
most
the
time
we
were
able
to
house
everyone
in
Boston,
but
in
the
in
the
case
where
we
might
have
a
problem
where
we,
you
know
if
something
goes
down
in
the
shelter
or
brought
up
Maine
purse.
So
we
have
I
have
to
evacuate
for
some
reason,
we'll
work
with
state
partners
to
make
sure
we
have
other
opportunities
to
bring
people
to.
We
can't
just
put
them
on
the
street
and
can't
have
them
just
sitting
in
the
lobby.
C
A
C
E
A
We
don't
we
know
cuz,
we,
your
plan
in
August,
I
mean
your
starts,
really
all
the
stuff
that
we're
announcing
today
that
this
we
could
probably
do
this
press
conference
in
August.
We,
you
know,
we
sat
there
by
the
salt
in
August.
We
start
to
fill
the
sheds.
We
start
to
make
sure
the
equipment
is
good.
You
know
during
the
budget
process
for
next
year,
we'll
put
some
money
in
there
to
buy
new
trucks
and
new
equipment.
If
you
look
here,
we
have
a,
you
know:
just
dump
truck
it's
beautiful
brand
new.
A
You
look
over
there
and
see
the
Psalter,
and
it's
it's.
It's
there's
rust
on
the
top
of
it.
So
we
have
to
start
to
really
think
about
replacing
our
fleet
and
doing
more
work
with
a
fleet.
We
have
an
old
fleet
in
the
city
and
you
know
I'd
love
to
replace
it
all
tomorrow
if
we
could,
but
it's
expensive,
just
like
we
did
with
the
fire
department.
A
If
you
got
a
chance
to
run
the
mechanic
shop,
these
men
and
women
behind
me,
they
actually
people
actually
get
dirty
every
day
who
actually
work
hard
every
day.
It's
amazing
what
they
do
with
some
some
of
the
trucks
here,
I
mean
keeping
them
alive
for
a
couple
more
years
after
after
they
probably
should
be
retired.
B
A
Yeah,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
the
space
here
is
believe
in
Iowa,
some
of
us
other
than
the
parking
lot.
A
lot
of
the
office
spaces
is
inefficient.
Space
inefficiently
used
and
there's
really
an
opportunity
for
us
if
we're
gonna,
think
about
just
like
the
schools.
When
we
talk
about
building
their
schools,
we
have.
We
have
capacity
for
a
lot
of
kids,
but
we
have
it
doesn't
work
for
the
kids
because
the
spaces
and
isn't
constructed
for
21st
century
learning,
and
the
same
can
be
said
for
we
have
here.
A
A
F
We
do
not
use
drones,
we've
got
800
pieces,
citywide,
we've
got
a
hundred
snow
inspectors
who
patrol
the
streets
our
best
view
of
the
street
and
the
conditions
as
a
person
looking
at
it
to
make
sure
it
was
treated.
It
was
plowed,
it
was
pushed
back.
We
can
we
can
when
we
get
that
800
850
number
plow.
We
matched
that
with
an
inspector
for
every
five
or
six
pieces.
The
human
in
the
street,
looking
at
the
quality
and
looking
at
the
safety
is
worth
a
lot.
