Crews worked more than 3,000 regular hours and 899 overtime hours resulting in additional costs of $39,859.13.
The city spent $72,827.50 on contractor and labor expenses for the February 21 storm. They spent nothing for the second storm, which hit on February 26.
Material costs for both storms totaled $133,652.08.
