Mayor Gamec and Sergeant Way met with representatives of the Ramsey Snow Rams on August 12, 2002, to discuss possible revisions to the ordinance amendments. The proposed ordinance was sent to the Councilmembers in their August 30, 2002 Weekly Update and Councilmembers were urged to contact staff with any questions and/or comments. The proposed ordinance contains the following revisions: · Designated non-use area would be roughly everything east of Armstrong Boulevard and south of 159th Avenue · Recreational vehicles would be allowed to operate in the ditch area of Armstrong Boulevard and the ditches of Highway #10 (including within the Designated Non-use Area) · No recreational vehicles would be operated within the Designated Use Area from November 1 to April I, unless there is a minimum of six inches of snow cover. A similar recreational vehicle ordinance was introduced at a previous meeting, however, with the proposed changes incorporated, staff felt a second public hearing should be held and, therefore, a re-introduction of the ordinance. Enclosures: Proposed Ordinance - Recreational Vehicles - amending Chapter 6 of the City Code Council Action: Motion to introduce Ordinance amending Section 6.04 "Snowmobiles" of Chapter 6 of the City Code of Ramsey Minnesota. .
