<br /> <br />SECTION 8. FUNDING <br /> <br />Trail maintenance is performed by Public Works staff and also by contracted <br />work as described in Section 4., with the funding of both accounted for within <br />the annual General Fund parks operations budget. For 2024, the trail <br />maintenance allocation is $120,000. This line item within the General Fund <br />has increased $5,000 to $15,000+ each year as part of an informal yet active <br />trail maintenance planyielding one to three miles of trail overlaid or the <br />subject of a reconstruct in a few instances. While the annual increases have <br />risen 5-10% in many years, the miles of trail receiving maintenance <br />treatments have not increased due to ordinary annual inflation associated <br />with contracted services. As indicated, the 2024 funding for contracted <br />bituminous maintenance is $120,000this amount should be increased each <br />year by at least $10,000, until annual bituminous resurfacing reaches about <br />. <br /> <br />Additionally, for some trail maintenance and especially if in the same vicinity <br />of planned street maintenance, consideration should be given to bid the work <br />as an Add Alternate as part of the Street Maintenance program for best value, <br />and to consolidate administration and staff bidding time. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />9 | Page <br /> <br /> <br />
