Model Snow and Ice Policies and Contracts

These policies help cities, counties, and property managers prepare clear and complete snow and ice management policies and limit the potential liability risk from these activities. Snow and ice management requires balancing public interests including, as paramount, public safety but also equipment and material cost, environmental impact, and other concerns. To share your snow and ice policy or contract, please email us.
