may remove snow and ice from state highways, purchase the necessary equipment including
snow fences, employ the necessary labor, and make all contracts necessary to enable

(c) The political subdivision is in an emergency situation. (2) The director shall seek reimbursement from a political subdivision for road salt
provided under this division. The reimbursement amount shall equal the price at which the director purchased the
road salt. (C)(1) The director shall provide snow and ice removal and road salt application assistance
to a village if both of the following apply: (a) The legislative authority of the village requests assistance from the department
of transportation. (b) The snow and ice removal and road salt application is for a state highway within
the corporate limits of the village. (2) The director shall not seek reimbursement for the assistance provided under division
(C)(1) of this section from the village if reimbursement presents a significant financial
hardship for the village. (3) Nothing in division (C) of this section requires the department to reimburse or pay
a village for snow and ice removal and road salt application that is performed by
either an employee of the village or a third party on behalf of the village.
