Chicopee Council considers sidewalk clearing rules, police funding, and zoning changes.

The Council will review several major appropriations, including $219,000 for HCSO Real Time Info Center Analysts and $45,000 for golf course equipment. They will also consider amendments to the city code regarding the duties of the City Auditor and the City Council's Committee on Claims and Accounts.

Significant ordinance changes include new authority for the city to clear snow from non-owner-occupied sidewalks at the owner's expense, a ban on non-human powered transportation on certain natural-surface paths, and updated daily pay rates for wardens, clerks, and inspectors.

Finally, the meeting includes multiple zoning requests, such as a zone change for additional mobile home units on Memorial Drive, a 39-lot residential development proposal on Chicopee Street, and a special permit for a dog kennel on Chester Street.
