P. Blowers. The operation of any noise-creating blower or power fan or any internal combustion engine, the operation of which causes noise due to the explosion of operating gases or fluids, unless the noise from such blower or fan is muffled and such engine is equipped with a muffler device sufficient to deaden such noise.” City of Ham Lake: “Our City Code does not address Ultimate Fighting.” City of Red Wing: “The City of Red Wing does prohibit Ultimate Fighting. Attached is Ordinance 413.” (Ord 413 attached as Exhibit B). City of Spring Lake Park: “130.22 ULTIMATE FIGHTING. (A) Definition and purpose. Ultimate fighting is as an organized event where the primary practice involves individuals engaged in physical contact by striking an opponent with hands, head, feet or body. The City Council finds that the practice of ultimate fighting is dangerous and puts the public health, safety and welfare at great risk. (B) Prohibited conduct. It shall be unlawful in any public or private building or place to permit the practice of ultimate fighting or to participate in the practice of ultimate fighting as above defined. Officially sanctioned and regulated boxing and wrestling and team sports in which physical contact is incidental to the primary purpose of the game such as basketball, volleyball, soccer, baseball and softball are not included among activities prohibited by this section.” City of Savage: “The City of Savage does not currently have any provisions in our code either banning or restricting Ultimate Fighting.” Staff feels that the City of Red Wing has the best and most thorough Ordinance prohibiting this type of recreation. If the City Council still wishes to go forward and start the process of banning Ultimate Fighting, then Staff will draft an Ordinance, have the City Attorney review the draft, then present it to the City Council as a first reading as early as the last City Council Meeting in May.
