This <br />enables Lino Lakes to receive grant funding to integrate deicing into its snow removal <br />operations. To qualify for the grant funds, the Council must adopt the Minnesota Snow and Ice <br />Control Handbook as prepared by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and direct the <br />appropriate City staff to participate in training from the Handbook. Staff training has already <br />been completed. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt Minnesota Snow and Ice Control Handbook. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Memorandum of Agreement with RCWD <br />Minnesota Snow and Ice Control Handbook <br />
