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.
