Background
The Road Commission has received inquiries from homeowners associations and contractors regarding private companies performing snow plowing and winter maintenance on public roadways. This work in the right-of-way is a permitted activity, and in response to these inquiries the Washtenaw County Road Commission passed the following resolution:
“Moved… that upon the recommendation of the County Highway Engineer and concurrence of the Managing Director, the Board hereby waives the permit application fee for contractors performing winter maintenance / snow plowing on subdivision and corporate park public roadways. It is understood that the contractor must furnish proof of insurance in accordance the WCRC Procedures & Regulations for Permit Activities and a security deposit in the amount of $500 per subdivision/corporate park plus $100 per mile. It is further understood that the security deposit would be fully refunded provided no damage is observed upon completing a final inspection of the roadways the following spring.”
