REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
The City That Soars!
Item Proposed MnDot Sidewalk on Snelling Ave – Curtiss Field
Description In 2015, the City was approached by a MnDot representative to consider the
proposed installation of a pedestrian sidewalk on the east side of Snelling Ave
alongside Curtiss Field from Hoyt Ave to connect with Falcon Town Square
pedestrian sidewalk.
The initial proposal was rejected by Staff and City Council because of the
additional snow/ice removal required if sidewalks are installed. A sidewalk
currently surrounds the water retention pond.
Budget Impact This would require additional snow/ice remove near the Curtiss Field area.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
The City That Soars!
Item National League of Cities – Service Line Warranty Program
Description The National League of Cities Line Warranty Program is administered by
Utility Service Partners, Inc. It is an affordable home protection solution that
helps with high cost of repairing broken or leaking water or sewer lines.
This is an insurance program for residents who have not set aside money to
pay for an unexpected, expensive utility line repair. There is a monthly fee
with no deductibles or service fees. The repair is performed professionally and
quickly.
There is no cost to the City to participate in the program. Plus, the City would
receive a share of the revenues collected. Although there is not a cost, part of
the City’s obligation would be to endorse the service and allow the company to
use the official City’s logo for promotional materials.
Budget Impact This program would have a minimal effect on the budget.
