Snow Removal Update
First of all – sorry for the inconvenience with snow removal services.
We have one contractor doing all three zones this year. We had difficulty in securing our previous contractors for work this year which influenced the decision we made (That and other contractors we contacted were too expensive or didn’t want the job.).
That being said, our contractor had a truck break down last night, but he has three trucks en route at 945am to finish the job. He was able to do the sidewalks yesterday as you saw. Some things (like broken trucks) are out of our control unfortunately.
We certainly realize that the snow removal was not perfect for the first storm of the year, but considering schools are closed across washtenaw county, the difficulties we are experiencing are certainly not unique to our community. Subsequent service should be better optimized as we have more time to prepare and have more experience as a board.
Again, sorry for the inconvenience

Snow Event – 12/11/2016
We are expecting a snow event today with some meteorologists prognosticating up to 9 inches of snow (but who really knows). We have snow service coverage for the Northview community covered for this event and wanted to share the information about the service as part of our ongoing effort towards increased transparency and communication.
We have one vendor handling all three zones with several dedicated trucks and dedicated employees.
The trigger moment for the service to come to our community is two inches of snowfall. The arrival of the service is automatic, no calls needed. If an event has more than two inches, the service is executed when the remaining snowfall that has not yet come down is under two inches. For example, if we are expecting five inches of snowfall, the trucks start running at three inches, leaving less than two inches behind should the snow continue to fall. The rationale for this is that the snow and ice melt will take care of ongoing snowfall as it falls.
Having trucks run all day and bill for a push for every two inches of snow proves to be cost prohibitive and inefficient. (For example – a 6 inch snow event would potentially have 3 pushes at X dollar value per push – a significant cost)
The newly elected board is working hard to serve the association as best we can and hope that regular updates like these help us work together for a productive and harmonious community.
Cheers,
Jesse, Nancy, Susan, Linda and John
