Brainerd City Council Approves Snow Control Agreement with MnDOT
What happened
The Brainerd city council reviewed a snow control agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation. MnDOT is offering reimbursement to the city if its staff clears state roads before state crews arrive. The agreement allows the city to remove snow in critical locations, and one cost option uses standard equipment rates from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for city machines.

Why it matters
MnDOT anticipates limitations in its ability to perform timely snow control on state highways and bridges in Brainerd due to budget and staffing constraints. The partnership shifts some operational responsibility to Brainerd while providing financial support for the city's snow removal costs.
