ASSUMPTIONS:
Amount of labor to spread salt and spray brine are the same.
The amount of liquid used as an anti-icer will burn the same amount of snow & ice as rock salt.
All events have the right conditions to use anti-icers.
** There is a residual effect to account for, but no solid historical data to support.

Other Potential Savings or Costs
No savings calculation for pre-treating sidewalks which uses a higher cost de-icer
Additional labor savings from potential less Overtime since anti-icing can be done during regular scheduled hours
Additional costs if there is a need to de-ice after anti-icing when a similar result would happen if just de-iced
