Mounds View City Council Page Six <br />~egular Meeting December 14, 1992 <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />C. Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, reviewed <br />Staff Report No. 92-439C regarding Ordinance No. 522 Restricting <br />the Depositing of Snow or Debris in Street Right-Of-Way. Minetor <br />stated that this ordinance is intended to restrict the practice of <br />plowing and/or blowing snow into the street right-of-way. Minetor <br />further stated that debris was added as there are times when parking <br />lots are being swept or cleaned and accumulations of dirt, leaves <br />or other debris are left in the right-of-way or stockpiled in such <br />a manner as to cause the material to eventually be blown or washed into <br />the right-of-way. <br />Councilmember Wuori asked how this addresses sidewalks. <br />Minetor stated that sidewalks are part of the right-of-way <br />and depositing of material on the sidewalks can be controlled. <br />Councilmember Rickaby asked if the City has a way to enforce this <br />ordinance? Would a fine be affixed? <br />Minetor responded that violating this ordinance would be a petty <br />. misdemeanor and an Administrative Offense could be issued for the <br />violation, however, before the City would issue and Administrative <br />Offense the property owner would be contacted to make sure that the <br />owner is aware of the ordinance and understands what it entails. If <br />the property owner then violates the ordinance again an Administrative <br />Offense would be issued and if that isn't heeded a citation would then <br />be issued. <br />Councilmember Rickaby stated that some people contract to have their <br />walks and driveways cleaned. Rickaby asked who would be the offender, <br />the property owner or the contracted person. <br />Minetor responded that the property owner would be ultimately <br />responsible. Minetor stated that this is why contact would be made <br />with the property owner before issuing an Administrative Offense to <br />see if the owner could work the problem out with his contracted <br />personnel. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Blanchard to waive the reading and introduction <br />of Ordinance No. 522 and schedule the second reading and Council <br />action for December 28, 1992 <br />VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />D.
