INITIATING PROBLEM, ISSUE, OPPORTUNITY IWho, What, When, WM1ere, Why): The Division of Parks and Recreation is responsible for the grooming of 26 miles of cross country ski trails. In the past four seasons we have had only low to moderate snowfalls. The cross country grooming equipment we now own is heavy and destroys our golf courses and parks if there is not at least a six to nine inch base to operate on. This limits our grooming ability and shortens the cross country ski season to less than nine weeks. We have been aware of this problem for years, but have been unable to cover the capitat costs of a snowmobile. In the winter of 1999-200o Polaris Industries loaned the City a new Polaris snowmobile. With council approval, Polaris Industries will loan the City a new 2001 snowmobile for the 2000-2001 season. AOVANTAGES IF APPROVED; Obtaining the snowmobile we need to continue the expansion of the cross country ski program season is possible with no capital outlay on the part of the City. With a snowmobile we expand our grooming season by 3Q or more. We could continueto enlarge our trail network by grooming areas that our present equipment is too large to operate in. DISADVANTA6ES IF APPROVED: � � � � 0 ■ B� � Y�/ None SEP � � 2��fl .�i�TY ,������9�� OISADVANTAG£S IF NOT APPROVED: Parks and Recreation would not be able to groom its cross country ski trails in the early season at first snowfall or continue to groom late in the season as the snow conditions deteriorate, or in low snowfall seasons such as the last four.
