CITY OF HOPKINS
City Council Report 2025-137
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Mike Mornson, City Manager
From: Lynn Anderson, Arts, Activity Center, and Depot Director
Date: September 16, 2025
Subject: Approval of agreement with Trellis Management Co regarding snow
removal at the Activity Center
_____________________________________________________________________
Motion to approve an agreement with Trellis Management Co regarding snow
removal at the Activity Center.
OVERVIEW
Trellis Management Co. is currently responsible for the snow removal surrounding their
managed property - Raspberry Ridge Apartments, and Hopkins Activity Center.
Snow removal of the resident parking areas requires tenant cars to be moved, which
often requires the snow removal to occur later in the day and snow if often pushed to a
corner of the Activity Center lot until it can be permanently removed. The Activity Center
has many morning events that begin before the parking areas have been cleared of
snow, creating a hazard for visitors and in some cases eliminates some of the few spots
available.
Trellis Management staff and City staff met to discuss the situation. It is agreeable to all
parties that the City manage, remove, and clear snow from the Activity Center parking
area on the NW corner of 14th Avenue N. and First Street North, to best serve Activity
Center participants.
