DISCUSSION REGARDING SNOWMOBILE REGULATIONS <br />By: Community Development Director Anne Norris <br /> <br />CASE #4: <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At its meeting on December 22, the City Council requested that the Park and <br />Recreation Commission discuss what should be included in a City ordinance <br />regulating snowmobile use to prevent damage to private property and <br />maintained boulevards. <br /> <br />Samples of other communities' regulations for snowmobile use will be <br />available at the meeting for your review. <br /> <br />Ob servations: <br /> <br />Section 110.01 of the City Code adopts by reference portions of Minnesota <br />Statutes, Section 84 regarding the operation of snowmobiles. Section 84 <br />leaves the decision of whether a snowmobile may drive in a municipal <br />boulevard up to the municipality. <br /> <br />Currently, the Police Department may issue citations to snowmobile <br />operators trespassing on private properties. However, realistically, it is <br />difficult for the police to issue such citations. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Will be based on your discussion. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrator <br />Attorney <br />Engineer <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Superintendent <br />Other <br /> <br /> <br />
