AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH LAKEVILLE CYCLING ASSOCIATION
FOR CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE OF WEST LAKE MARION PARK
MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve amendment to agreement
with Lakeville Cycling Association for the construction and maintenance of West Lake Marion
Park Mountain Bike Trail.
Overview
On April 3, 2017 the Mayor and City Council approved an agreement with the Lakeville Cycling
Association for construction and maintenance of the West Lake Marion Park Mountain Bike
Trail. As part of that agreement, insurance provisions were required of the Association.
Currently, the Association continues to do maintenance along with additions to the trail. After
discussing the insurance provisions with the League of Minnesota Cities Risk Management
Attorney and City Attorney, it was decided the Association can be covered by the City’s League
of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) liability insurance coverage assuming the City
treats them as volunteers under the City’s direction and control. The Risk Management Attorney
also indicated from a liability point of view, the members of the Lakeville Cycling Association are
better protected as City volunteers. As volunteers they are protected by the municipal tort caps
and immunities in addition to the City’s LMCIT coverage. As a result of this information, Staff is
recommending that the agreement be amended to remove the insurance provisions from the
original agreement.
