City of Lennox -

With the 2025 year coming to an end; here is our recap

Cheers to another year Lennox

From all of us to all of you: Happy Holidays

Warmest Wishes and Happy Holidays from all of us at the City. Heads up that City Hall and all other department offices will be closed 12/24-12/26

The last City Council Meeting of 2025 is coming up on Dec. 22 - Join us in person at city hall or watch live online

Our very own Colt Mayfield was awarded "Firefighter of the Year" by Mitchell Fire/EMS. Congratulations Colt on a very well deserved honor.

This meeting comes just once each month and it's time for the Park Board to come together again. Feel free to join them live online or in-person on Wednesday the 17th at 6:00pm

With the upcoming forecast we thought we'd share the ordinances that pertain to snow and ice. Keep in mind that these are summaries and the ordinances can be read in their entirety on our website under the ordinance page on the drop down menu.

Mark your calendars - the next Planning Commission meeting will take place next Thursday at 7pm. Watch live online or join the Board in person at City Hall. This meeting will include three public hearings so you won't want to miss it!

Next up - City Council Meeting tonight

The National Weather Service has upgraded our snow today to a Winter Storm Warning with up to 8" of snow expected. With this change in the forecast, the City of Lennox has issued a snow alert starting at 4:00 on Saturday, December 6. After 4:00, vehicles left on the street will be ticketed and towed. Officers will attempt to make contact with the owner of each vehicle prior to ticketing and towing. Vehicles that are towed may be retrieved on Monday after paying all applicable fines and fees at City Hall.

More snow is on the way Saturday! While we do not anticipate the need for a snow alert, our plow crews would appreciate it if your vehicle is moved from the street in preparation for tomorrow's snow event. Doing so will greatly help with the snow removal effort!

Technology is a useful tool, but it doesn't always function flawlessly. We will be testing our alerts system this Friday at 10am. If you don’t receive the notification and wish to be added to the list, fill out the form on the top of our website titled "Stay Informed"

Thank you to the Lennox Fire Department for their prompt response to tonight's fire. Our volunteer firefighters work through risky and dangerous situations, and their regular training keeps us all safe in these situations! We're grateful for what they give to our community!

The Lennox snow alert remains in effect this evening, Saturday, November 29 until 11:59 PM. Crews are working through town now, but have encountered several vehicles parked in the street. Please remove any vehicles from city streets or they will be ticketed and towed.

If your vehicle was towed before 9:00 this morning, please contact the Lennox Police Department non-emergency line at 605.647.5299 to have your vehicle released.

Due to a failure of the snow alert to reach everyone, I am waiving all ticket and tow fees issued before 9:00 AM on November 29, 2025. We are looking into the issues with the alert system and will resolve this matter. I apologize for any inconvenience, and if you have any questions please feel free to call Nate at 563.940.1620.

Lennox remains under a SNOW ALERT for the remained of 11/29, ending at midnight. Please refrain from parking on City streets until tomorrow. Vehicles found on city streets will be ticketed and towed.

City Hall will be open from 8:00 to 10:00 this morning to take fines for snow alert tickets and release cars so that you do not have to wait until Monday.

We will be issuing a snow alert beginning at midnight on 11/29 thru 12:00 pm on Sunday 11/30. Please remove all vehicles from city streets. Vehicles not removed will be ticketed and towed.

Happy Thanksgiving! City staff are monitoring weather and expect to issue a snow alert this weekend. Please be prepared to remove cars from city streets in the event a snow alert issued.
