A.
All owners, entities, or persons in possession and control of property

on it within 24 hours after the cessation of a snow or ice storm.
Ice that has formed on a public sidewalk due to refreezing of standing
water or moisture shall be removed or the slippery condition abated
within 24 hours of such refreezing of water or moisture.
B.
The Public Works Department shall ensure that snow and ice is removed
from all sidewalks abutting Town-owned property, except for such sidewalks
as are the responsibility of the Board of Education of the Town of

of property abutting a public sidewalk has failed to remove snow and/or

from said sidewalks, with the cost of such removal being charged to
the property owner, person, or entity in possession and control of
property abutting said public sidewalk. The cost of such removal to
