More specifically, <br />you were looking for assistance in implementing Section 807.07, Subdivision 2 (1), which limited the <br />use of All- Terrain Vehicles on any roadway, street or highway within the corporate city limits of Lino <br />Lakes. <br />Attached please find a memo that I wrote to Doug Fischer, Anoka County Highway Engineer <br />concerning the County's alternatives with regard to regulating the use of ATVs on County highways <br />and right -of -way. As my memo notes, the County could adopt an ordinance prohibiting the use of <br />All- Terrain Vehicles on the County highways and /or ditches. However, such an ordinance would <br />have to be County -wide and could not be limited to the City of Lino Lakes. <br />Although the Public Works Committee was sympathetic in assisting the City in implementing <br />its new Ordinance, based upon the requirement that any ordinance it would pass would be required <br />to cover the entire County the Public Works Committee declined to recommend that the County <br />adopt such an ordinance. <br />If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me <br />at (763) 323 -5668. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dan Klint <br />Assistant Anoka County Attorney <br />763- 323 -5668 Phone <br />DK:dd 763 - 422 -7589 FAX <br />Enc.
