Malvern Village Council discuss snow maintenance

Malvern Village Council discussed the snow plowing at its Jan. 19 meeting.

"I think the guys did a fantastic job plowing," said Village Administrator Derik Kaltenbaugh. "The main job was to keep the roads open. There is always going to be complaints. We had two new guys who haven't done it before and one truck is getting fixed. I think with that in consideration we did extremely well."

Council agreed and named some things to improve next time.
