Action Requested
Adopt, by motion, the 2021 Maintenance Agreement Resolution between the City of Elk River and Wright County
for routine maintenance work on the Parrish Avenue Bridge.
Background/Discussion
Annually, the City of Elk River is asked to enter into a maintenance agreement with Wright County for
maintenance of the Parrish Avenue Bridge. Since the bridge was built, the city and county have shared
maintenance duties. The agreement is the same as the agreement entered into in past years.
Financial Impact
There is no financial impact beyond the maintenance issues the city has currently been responsible for on the
bridge. These include maintenance of the streetlights, removal of snow from the sidewalk, maintenance of the
slope and berms on the north approach, snow and ice control from bridge and approaches, and removal of
marking/ spray paint from visible surfaces of the bridge structure.
Mission/Policy/Goal
Compliance with existing in-place agreements.
Attachments
Maintenance Agreement Resolution for 2022
The Elk River Vision
A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional
