o Keep roads, walkways dean
By Carol Ihrrah
Despite a winter storm that dumped
about 10 inches of snow on Lincoln Feb. 1
and 2, the UNL Department of Grounds
nanaged to clear roads and walks enough
to keep the university open, the director of
the department said.
Bud Dasenbrock said the worst part ot
l he two-day storm W3S the wind.
"The worst part of snow removal is
when we have a long storm with winds and
drifting," he said. "That makes it difficult
for our workers to keep up. 1 think we did
an excellent job of keeping the university
open during that time."
Dasenbrock said the grounds depart
ment has a yearly operating budget, rather
than being allotted a certain amount of
money for each segment of work they do.
"We do an excellent job within our
capabilities," he said. "But we could triple
our budget if we had people working
longer shifts and had shifts 24 hours a
day."
Officials in both the grounds depart
ment and the Physical Plant said they
didn't know how much snow removal costs
at I'N'L. They said because the depart
ments are allotted a total budget, which
isn't broken down, the money spent for
grounds upkeep is used wherever needed.
Dasenbrock said the grounds depart
ment lias 3S permanent employees. How
ever, when there is a snowstorm, he said he
hires an extra 30 students to help with the
work.
"Shoveling snow is tiring," he said.
"And it's worse when you have a strong
wind and a large wind-chill factor. We try
not to over-exert our employees."
Snow removal is done for emergency
services first, he said. Walkways and en
trances to the power plants on both UNL
campuses, food services at the residence
halls, the health center, building steps and
student, faculty and administrative and
commuter parking lots are also some
priority areas for snow removal.
The grounds department then works on
opening sidewalks on campus so students
can still attend classes, he said. They gradu
ally widen sidewalks so that snow may be
easily removed the next time it snows.
"Our budget is so limited," Dasenbrock
said. "It takes us longer to get what we
want to do done, . . but we do an excellent
job with what we do have."
