We've been receiving some calls and e-mails in regards to the "bobcat" that is located at the community.  DCM&R is the snow removal contractor for the community and have found with the large amount of snow that the community has been receiving over the last 5 weekends (weekend 6 of snow fall is approaching) they have found that leaving the "bobcat" at the community allows them to better serve the community in snow removal.  When snow gets too deep, they are unable to pull the trailer that the "bobcat" rides on from community to community, thus requiring some communities to miss out on the snow clearing capabilities.  Without the "bobcat", snow removal costs increase as more hand shoveling is required.

Yes, parking in the community is a premium when those in the community do not utilize their garages for parking and a "bobcat" parked within the community takes up one of those spaces.  The question though should be, is the community willing to pay more for snow removal if the "bobcat" is not at the community and accessible freeing up one parking space, or is it better for the community to have the "bobcat" at the community to help with all the snow removal?
