Jacobson outlined salting issues for the pedestrian path: salting is weather dependent, the city may have issues with liabilities if unsalted, and the path will lack the friction from vehicles that facilitates quicker melting on roads. Jacobson also noted that every storm event is different and changes as the season progresses. Touchett mentioned he liked the idea of using the path year-round as non-vehicle mode of transportation, and that he views the path as a “safe corridor” for school-age children. Ryan mentioned that the DNR has already approved asphalt for the path. Jacobson stated he thinks the Parks Board may want to touch on the aspect of snow removal or salting, as Parks Dept. would be  performing any of those services. Members also discussed run-off into the creek from non-paved surfaces such as gravel as on the Ice Age Trail. No motion taken. 11. MOVED by Kemp, seconded by Kemp adjourn at 5:47pm. Motion carried 3-0. Note: These minutes were prepared by Theran Jacobson, Director of Public Works. These minutes are based on the notes of the recorder and are subject to change at a subsequent meeting.
