CC Work Session <br />Meeting Date: 04/03/2012 <br />Submitted For: Jim Way By: Jim Way, Police <br />2. 2. <br />Title: <br />Recreational Vehicle Use in the City of Ramsey <br />Background: <br />At the 2012 Strategic Planning Session, Ramsey City Council members identified the "Consideration <br />of Recreational Vehicles on the City Streets" as a goal. The State of MN has restrictions for ATV use on the <br />roadway as does current Ramsey City Code. Attached to this report is a copy of the City Code relating to ATV use <br />within the City. <br />Staff has several existing ordinances from cities around the State that they will review with Council if requested. <br />Notification: <br />A change to City Code will require a public hearing. Notification will be made in the Anoka County Union and on <br />the City website. <br />Observations: <br />Current City Code addresses "Recreational Vehicles" which includes ATV's, snowmobiles, off -highway <br />motorcycles, minibikes, go-carts and any other motorized vehicles that, by use, fit this definition. If it is desired <br />that ATV's be allowed on the City streets, it will be necessary to create a new ordinance that deals specifically with <br />the ATV use so that it can be clear and concise. <br />Recommendation: <br />If Council is in favor of recreational vehicle use on the city streets, staff is recommending a committee be appointed <br />to work with the Police Chief to craft an ordinance that meets the wishes of the Council and still is within State <br />regulations. <br />Funding Source: <br />None required <br />Council Action: <br />Determine if ATV use on the City streets is desired. Give work direction to what extent ATV use would be allowed <br />if desired. <br />Attachments <br />City Code re ATV's <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Jo Thieling 03/29/2012 10:42 AM <br />Form Started By: Jim Way Started On: 03/27/2012 09:27 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 03/29/2012 <br />
