Snow removal budgets near exhaustion across agencies
With two heavy snowfalls this week surpassing last year’s total, city county and state budgets for snow removal near depletion. Frederick officials note funding comes from the city operating budget and a $142 000 public works allotment covering chemicals fuel and overtime. County allocations may shift funds to cover overtime as salt and cinders near depleted. SHA reports its winter budget of 570 000 largely spent as storms driven by dry light snow vary in material use.
