Mounds View City Council Page Six <br /> Regular Meeting . February 8, 1993 <br /> Bill Frits asked when the description of the County "ditch" changed <br /> to boulevard. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that this area has always been called a right-of- <br /> way, or boulevard, however, they all refer to the same area. <br /> MOTION: Blanchard to Substitute Mr. McCarty's Rewritten <br /> Version of Ordinance No. 522 for the Proposed Ordinance <br /> Mayor Linke called for a second to this motion three times. <br /> Councilmember Rickaby seconded the motion. Councilmember Rickaby stated <br /> that she would like to amend the substitute motion to incorporate the <br /> written permission of the original motion in the last two paragraphs <br /> which would give clearer language to the substituted motion. <br /> Councilmember Rickaby stated that on the substitute motion there is <br /> no written permission so there would be no reason to add this. <br /> McCarty stated that there is need for permission as these are the kinds <br /> of things that neighbors can work out. The less government reaches into <br /> private lives of citizens, the better off everyone will be. The City <br /> needn't get involved in the neighbor to neighbor situation or the <br /> resident's private lives. Mr. McCarty stated that in the beginning he <br /> thought the City was concerned with public property to public proper, <br /> Mayor Linke stated that problems start when a snowplow operation from <br /> a commercial piece of property begins pushing snow across the street <br /> onto private property. <br /> Mr. McCarty stated that a snowplow cannot move snow across the street <br /> without dropping snow on the street or boulevard. The curb would <br /> stop them from doing so. <br /> Councilmember Rickaby withdrew her second on the substitute motion. <br /> Councilmember Quick stated that it is necessary to have permission to <br /> deposit snow on other people's yards. People cannot always work <br /> together. Quick stated that he has a situation where it works both <br /> ways. Quick stated that a large area could be plowed up, carried over <br /> and dumped in someone's front yard. <br /> McCarty stated concern with the ordinance being adopted because of <br /> three people out of the 12 , 853 . <br /> McCarty stated that per Robert's Rules of Order once a motion has <br /> been seconded and discussion has begun, the seconder cannot withdraw <br /> his second on the motion. The Council would be in violation of <br /> Robert's Rules. <br /> • <br />
