A commissioner raised constituent concerns about snow that county plows leave on sidewalks along County Road 82 in Osakis and asked whether the city or county is responsible for clean‑up. Public Works staff (represented by Lars) said the county historically plowed snow onto sidewalks and then paid the city from municipal state aid maintenance funds to remove it; the county now generally plows to the curb at the city's request and the city handles sidewalk cleanup, and billing from municipal state aid is used for those services.

Commissioners discussed possible operational changes such as plowing to the center of the roadway so municipalities could remove the snow, and the constraints when signs, poles or angle parking limit where snow can be deposited. Staff noted that some municipal state aid routes normally result in city maintenance and that coordination with towns could be an option for future seasons.

Separately, commissioners discussed recurring off‑leash dog problems and vandalism at Rolfey Park. One commissioner suggested camera surveillance and loudspeaker systems to deter rule violations and allow staff to address behavior without immediate law enforcement response. Parks staff said there are building and parking‑lot cameras at some parks and recommended alternatives including better signage, photographing license plates and targeted citations in coordination with the sheriff’s office as lower‑cost, immediately available enforcement steps.

No formal motions were taken on either sidewalk practice or park surveillance; commissioners asked staff to continue coordinating with municipalities and to consider enforcement tools.

Next steps: Public Works staff will coordinate with municipalities to clarify sidewalk maintenance expectations and billing under municipal state aid; parks staff will consider signage and enforcement options for Rolfey Park.
