Mounds View City Council <br />~egular Meeting <br />• <br />r~ <br />L <br />Page Six <br />June 22, 1992 <br />Ms. Mountin stated that the City could: <br />1. Have on-street parking by permit only. The fees charged for the <br />permit fees could cover the administrative fees for issuance of <br />these permits. <br />2. Impose fines for snowbirds. A friendly reminder of $25 would <br />help persons remember not to park on the streets. <br />Mayor Linke stated that permit parking will not solve the snowbird <br />problem. The City currently charges $25 for snowbirds. The City <br />issues a lot of tickets each year. The City is trying to provide a <br />four hour window for the plows to get through the streets without <br />the snowbirds there. <br />Councilmember Rickaby commented that the City has a snowbird ordinance <br />now that restricts parking when it snows. Rickaby stated that her <br />belief is that another restriction won't make people comply. <br />Mayor Linke stated that with this ordinance, at 2:00 a.m., the <br />residents will know that a car can't be parked in the street and, <br />therefore, when it snows the cars won't be a problem. <br />Mike Janssen, Clearview Avenue, <br />before and was told the Council <br />restrictions at that time.
