City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby reviewed the staff report and staff recommendation <br />that the Committee forward the final draft of the policy to the City Council for consideration. <br />Chairperson Musgrove commented that the policy does look better but there are still some things <br />she would like to see done to make this look more like a policy. She referenced Local Road <br />Research Board report 2011RIC05, “Maintenance of Recreational Trails,” that she found online <br />and suggested staff should more closely follow the structure of this report and its Trail <br />Maintenance Schedule. She also suggested adding a section to the policy stating an annual report <br />on maintenance activities undertaken would be provided to the Public Works Committee and/or <br />City Council. <br />Councilmember Howell asked if there was a funding section in the stormwater facilities <br />maintenance policy. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby confirmed that the stormwater facilities maintenance <br />policy includeda section addressing funding, and clarified that Chairperson Musgrove would like <br />to see more bulleted lists in terms of a policy format as compared to long paragraphs of text. <br />Chairperson Musgrove stated that she would also like information on the frequency of inspections <br />for certain park amenities. <br />Councilmember Howell asked and received confirmation that bulleted lists were used in the <br />stormwater policy and agreed that would make sense for the trail maintenance policy as well. <br />Chairperson Musgrove asked if this should come back before the Committee or proceed to the City <br />Council. <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby stated that he would prefer to bring this back to the <br />Committee to ensure they are meeting the desired vision before bringing this to the full Council. <br />5.03: Receive Updates on Improvement Projects, Studies and Items of Interest <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby provided an update on current and proposed City, <br />County, and MnDOT improvement projects and studies, and on other items of interest to the <br />Committee. <br /> <br />5.04: Review Future Topics Calendar <br /> <br />City Engineer/Public Works Director Westby reviewed the future topics calendar and anticipated <br />completing several topics over the next few meetings. <br />6.
