Mayor Lighty urged residents to volunteer with "Snowstormers," a group that clears sidewalks for neighbors who cannot shovel, during a brief announcement at the meeting.
The mayor said the volunteers help people who are unable to shovel their own walkways and that clearing sidewalks benefits the whole neighborhood. "These fantastic volunteers help our neighbors who are unable to shovel themselves and clearing sidewalks helps the whole neighborhood," Mayor Lighty said.
Lighty noted the current warm weather but warned that "soon, soon the snow will fly" and encouraged people who can help to sign up. He directed listeners to the city website for more information; the transcript did not include a URL or additional program details.
The remarks were a short recruitment appeal rather than a formal agenda item: no motions, votes, funding information or implementation steps were presented during the statement. The meeting record does not specify eligibility, training, scheduling, liability coverage, background checks, or contact details for the Snowstormers program.
Residents seeking to volunteer should consult the municipality's official website or contact city staff; those specifics were not provided during the mayor's announcement.
