Parks & Recreation Commission Minutes Page 3 <br />September 9, 2020 <br />----------------------------- <br /> <br />plan of the trail? There isn’t always a B line for the features and there is no way out <br />of the B line. Concerned about the height of one of the new features and concerned <br />that features are not being run through the city. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson asked Commissioner Soltvedt what his family feels about <br />trials. <br /> <br />Commissioner Soltvedt shared that his family uses sections one and two and have <br />not gone through three and four due to their abilities. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rathbun shared personal experience with teaching his daughter to <br />ride the trails. It would be nice to add miles to the sections if the land affords it and <br />add protocol for the group to come up with a plan to submit to the city to get <br />approval. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker stated that he and the Parks Superintendent meet regularly with MORC <br />to discuss plans at the park. <br /> <br />Council member Wagner thanked volunteers and asked if there are always a ride <br />around to the difficult features <br /> <br />Mr. Greig stated there are ride arounds, however the B lines shortens the length of <br />the trails from 6 miles to 5 and ¼ miles. <br /> <br />Council member Wagner asked how safe the roller ramp is. <br /> <br />Mr. Betts stated that with the insurance policy they have they are not required to <br />have a guard rail and when designing trail features they keep risk mitigation in mind <br />so with the roller ramp it was built with a 3-ft wide decking which will reduce the <br />risk. <br /> <br />Council member Wagner asked what kind of liability insurance the city has if <br />someone gets hurt. <br /> <br />Mr. Hecker stated that MORC and city are co-insured and realize there is inherent <br />risks with all features. <br /> <br />Mr. Betts said MORC has its own insurance policy and has a rider for features that <br />are over 36 inches. <br /> <br />Council member Wagner would like to bring back to the council: how does the <br />process work, who is providing the oversight and how riders know who to ask
