REQUEST FOR ACTION To Item Number Ci Council 3.4. Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Consent ul 21, 2008 Chris Leeseber ,Park Planner Item Description Reviewed by Windsor Park Third Home Owners Association Trail Bill Maertz, Parks & Recreation Maintenance Agreement Director Reviewed by Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator Action Requested Staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend the City Council approve the city taking over the maintenance of the trail along County Road 33 in the Windsor Park 3`d subdivision with the following conditions: 1. The maintenance agreement shall reflect the changes (Exhibit "A") as indicated by staff. Background/Discussion The Windsor Park Third Home Owners Association would like to transfer the walking trail over to the city for maintenance. During the platting of Windsor Park 31d the trail was constructed by the developer for the residents of Windsor Park 3`d' It is in the ownership of the Home Owners Association and is for public use. The Home Owners Association does not have the funding to maintain the trail in the spring through the fall months and they do not plow it in the winter. Without proper maintenance, the trail will begin to have poor quality and will become useless to the public. The benefit of the City taking control of the trail is, it will be placed into a routine maintenance scheduled assuring the long term viability of the trial in the city trail system. The trial will eventually connect County Road 32 and County Road 1 and be part of a larger city wide trail system. Within Windsor Park 3=d there is already a small portion of trial which connects the third addition with the first addition providing additional pedestrian circulation around the area. The trail was inspected by the parks foreman, he believes the trail is in good condition and meets the city standards of construction. Under city maintenance, the trail would be placed in the schedule of maintenance and would be plowed for year round use by the public. Attachments Location Map Maintenance Agreement Exhibit "A"
