SHAKOPE
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Mike Hullander, Public Works Superintendent
DATE: 10/15/2013
SUBJECT: Approve 2013-2014 Sidewalk and Trail Snow Removal Routes. (A, E)
Action Sought
Motion to approve the 2013-2014 sidewalk and trail snow removal routes.
Background
On December 6, 1994 City Council directed Public Works to begin snow removal on all
sidewalks and trails that abut collector streets and County Roadways. Staff currently has seven
plow routes covering approximately seventy miles of sidewalks and trails. Staff is requesting no
changes at this time to the current routes. Staff did receive one request to plow the trail along
CSAH 18 to Horizon Drive. This segment of trail is very close to the roadway and portions
actually abut the road. Staff will need to discuss this segment with Scott County maintenance
staff because much of the snow will have to be removed and hauled off-site. Due to the time and
expense of maintaining this segment of trail, staff is requesting to wait until Public Works has
increased staffing levels. As a reminder, in extreme snow events, staff cannot meet the time-lines
as set forth in City Ordinance Sec. 7.04 requiring the snow to be removed in 24 hours for
commercial and 36 hours for residential sidewalks.
Recommendation
Staff recommends no changes to the current sidewalk and trail routes for the 2013- 2014 Winter
Season.
Budget Impact
Funding has been included in the Parks Maintenance General Fund Budget.
Relationship to Vision
A. Keep Shakopee a safe and healthy community where residents can pursue active and quality
lifestyles
E. Deliver effective and efficient public services by a staff of welltrained caring and professional
employees.
Requested Action
Motion to approve the 2013-2014 sidewalk and trail snow removal routes.
