City Council Minutes <br /> November 7, 2017 <br /> Page 4 of 9 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Council Member Swanson inquired why Wildlife Trail has not 6een <br /> declared a City road. Mayor Adams explained that the City requires a <br /> private road be brought up to City road specifications before considering it <br /> a City street and if a special assessment road improvement project is <br /> requested at least 35% of property owners on Wildlife Trail must be <br /> interested. <br /> Mr. Czech explained the three options he would like the City to consider <br /> for Wildlife Trail. <br /> 1. Adopt Wildlife Trail as a City street as is. <br /> 2. Give the residents a portion of the money that is spent on <br /> maintaining roads in the City and let the residents take care of <br /> Wildlife Trail as an association. <br /> 3. The City would maintain the snowplowing of Wildlife Trail according <br /> to Minnesota Statute 160.21 without adopting it as a City street. <br /> Council Member Swanson inquired who was plowing snow for them now. <br /> Mr. Czech stated they do it themselves. <br /> Council Member Pederson asked Mr. Czech if they are an association.
