COUNCIL BUSINESS Case #1: Adopt Ordinance Amending Ramsey City Ordinance 6.04, Snowmobile Ordinance Police Sergeant Way reviewed that the Ramsey Police Department and members of City Council have been receiving numerous complaints concerning the use of snowmobiles within the City of Ramsey. The Police Department received 42 complaints during the 2001-2002 winter. The number of complaints is not unusually high, but when you consider that we did not have any snow on the ground for most of the winter, the number of complaints was quite high. The number of complaints appears to be on the rise for all areas of the City but more so in the southern half where lots are smaller and the population is greater. He explained that at the request of Mayor Gamec, the Snowmobile Ordinance 6.04 was looked at to see what could be done to help in the overall enforcement in the City and a reduction in complaints. The creation of a Designated Use Area was formulated. This area would be described as the area north of a line traversing the City fi'om east to west at the 15900 block. The ordinance was also rewritten to include all recreational vehicles and restrict their use. The rewritten ordinance was presented to the entire Council at a work session on April 8, 2002. One additional change was made to what was presented and that is the hours of operation are changed from 11:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. for weekday use. The ordinance was published in the City's Official newspaper, the Anoka County City Council/July 9, 2002 Page 6 of 24
