Cooperative Agreement with Scott County for Trail Preventative Maintenance

In years past, the city has been maintaining trails along the county roads in Shakopee at 100 percent cost to the city. Starting in 2020, the county proposed to partner with the cities throughout the county at a 50/50 cost sharing for trail preventative maintenance for those trails along county roadway corridors. The county wants to ensure preventative maintenance occurs regularly and assist in that cost. 

Preventative maintenance measures would start in 2020 as part of a 5 year cooperative trail maintenance program. The city would lead the project providing plan preparation, contract administration, construction inspection and project management.

The total cost of the 2020 county roadway trail sealcoating is estimated to be $60,000. The city's share of the funding ($30,000) is budgeted in the Street Maintenance Fund.

It should be noted that additional trail sealcoating for trails along city streets and within parks is budgeted in 2020 and will be paid 100 percent by the city.
