Committee to recommend conservancy license and winter‑trail snow‑removal contract for consent
Summary
Staff recommended the board authorize a five‑year (plus five‑year extension) license with the Conservancy to allow the cross‑country concessionaire to groom trails and a winter trail snow‑removal contract; funding is largely reimbursement‑based with county and Conservancy cost shares.
Staff presented two connected items recommended for the consent agenda: a winter trail snow‑removal contract for the 2024‑25 season (with county cost‑share) and a five‑year license agreement with the Conservancy to allow the concessionaire to groom winter trails and maintain summer trails on Conservancy property.
On the snow‑removal contract, staff noted the county reimburses 70% for most trails and covers 30% of the West Shore Trail segment from Timberland to the county line; staff asked authorization to execute the contract for the upcoming season. Kim Boyd also introduced a draft license agreement with the Conservancy and introduced Roger Chaney, the operation manager (present). Boyd said the Conservancy has proposed a five‑year license with a five‑year extension and staff recommended placing the draft on the consent agenda after minor legal edits.
