maintained miles out of a total of 124.8 in -system miles and is maintained completely with City staff and
equipment. The City Council adopted a Winter Trail Maintenance Plan that allows the Council to

current policy criterion. Matthys noted the City received one (1) Citizen Petition which did not meet the
criteria of the Winter Trail Maintenance Policy and therefore was denied by City staff. City staff

criteria of the Winter Trail Maintenance Policy.
