Dundee – Recently the Village Council adopted a snow emergency ordinance. This ordinance will allow us to be more efficient when clearing snow covered streets. In the event of a large snow or ice event we will use the Connect-CTY emergency notification system to advise all residents of the event and how long it will be in effect. This system as well as the Village Web site will be instrumental in letting everyone know what is going on.
