---- Minutes of the Arden Hills Council Worksession, January 22, 1990 - Page 2 :-. PARKING/SNOWPLOWING Public Works Supervisor Winkel discussed problems the ORDINANCE staff is experiencing relative to "Snowbird" vehicles parking on City streets during snowplowing operations. Winkel indicated the current Ordinance prohibits vehicles from parking on any . City street after a 2" snowfall, until plowing is completed. He noted the existing Ordinance has provision for towing vehicles and issuing citations, however, previous Councilmembers did not favor strict enforcement. The Public Works Supervisor suggested more specific language be included in the Ordinance which restricts parking on the street during evening/early morning hours to allow the crews to complete the snowplowing. There was discussion relative to a "v.,Tinter Parking Banlr which would prohibit parking during the winter months only for certain hours and more stringent enforcement of the existing ordinance. Council concurred that the City Attorney draft an amendment to the Arden Hills parking ordinance, Section 26.3 Parking after snow accumulation, to include language which prohibits vehicle parking on the street from October 15 thru April 15, during the hours of 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. NOTIFICATION TO Council was referred to a memorandum from Deputy Clerk RESIDENTS; PLANNING Clerk Iago dated 1-19-90, recommending that notification COMJol.
