What kind of mulch, specifically?
I have a neighbour who tried wood ash last week. At first I thought it was a great idea (it definitely was worth a try), but it's so much softer than sand that it didn't provide much traction, and wound up mostly being a mess.
In the article, Ms. MacNeil referred specifically to giving notices to property owners who had done a "fantastic job" but for one reason or another there was a "section where there was some ice."
That doesn't to me sound like someone who has just skipped on a de-icing agent entirely. It sounds like a patch of ice that could conceivably cause someone to slip and that would resultingly be a potential liability for the city if they had already inspected. That's what they care about. As opposed to properties that were possibly sheets of ice last week, but didn't get inspected while bylaw officers were issuing all of these notices to properties that were merely imperfectly done.
