CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 11/07/2011 By: Jim Way, Police Information Title: Introduce Ordinance Amending City Code Section 54-96 through 102 Titled Recreational Vehicles Background: 7.1. At a City Council Work Session on November 1, 2011, the Ramsey City Council discussed changes to the Recreational Vehicle Ordinance. Council members had received requests from citizens asking that the city open up more areas to snowmobiling. Several items were discussed at the work session including permitting. The consensus was to allow snowmobiles on the roadways in the "Designated Non-use Area" and to create a route through the River's Bend Park parking lot to the Rum River. Staff was directed to make the recommended changes to the City Code and to bring that forward to the next next Council Meeting. One area that was not discussed was the use of snowmobiles with "studs" on the roadway. Staff is proposing a new section prohibiting the use of "studs" on the roadway. Council may wish to discuss this further. City Charter (Section 3.5) requires that the introduction and adoption of an ordinance occur at two separate meetings at least three days apart. Consequently, upon introduction of this ordinance, staff will bring it back to the November 22 City Council meeting for formal adoption. It will then be published in the Anoka County Union and will be effective 30 days following that publication - on or about December 25, 2011. Recommendation: Staff recommends the introduction and finally adoption of the revised Recreational Vehicle Ordinance as presented. Funding Source: None required Council Action: Motion to introduce Ordinance #11 -XXX amending City Code Section 54-96 through 102 Titled Recreational Vehicles.
