911 to help police determine the time and areas within the City the police should focus on. <br /> Council Member Nelson stated she felt this would tie up telephone lines to 911, since in the past <br /> two weeks she has received at least a dozen calls at her home. <br /> The current ordinance states snowmobiles are allowed to ride on the street 10 mph, following the <br /> motor vehicle laws, the trails and the lakes, but are not allowed on private or public property. <br /> Mayor Wilharber requested Council hold a public hearing in reference to snowmobiles in <br /> Centerville. Mayor Wilharber added the City was concerned about safety in when re- writing the <br /> firearm ordinance and should do so also in regard to snowmobiles. <br /> Council Member Nelson requested a Public Hearing be added to the February 9` City Council <br /> agenda, focusing on the current snowmobile ordinance and possible banning of snowmobiles <br /> within the City. <br /> Council Member Sweeney stated he would not like to a ban on snowmobiles. He feels only a few <br /> people break the rules. <br /> Jill Lien of 1810 Hayfield Road indicated she does not see much snowmobile traffic in her <br /> neighborhood. Ms. Lien felt a large portion of the residents were unaware of the current <br /> snowmobile ordinance. Ms. Lien noted there have not been many calls at City Hall inquiring <br /> about the ordinance and/or restrictions by snowmobilers. Most of the calls have been complaint <br /> calls pertaining to snowmobilers on private property. <br /> Council Member Broussard Vickers, expressed her agreement with Ms. Essex's views and she <br /> indicated her property is also trespassed upon by snowmobiles. Council Member Broussard <br /> Vickers stated she feels there are a large number of snowmobilers who disobey the rules, not just <br /> a few. Council Member Broussard Vickers added she would like additional information from the <br /> police. <br /> City attorney Jim Hoeft stated other communities are also facing this issue and are focusing on <br /> enforcement. Council Member Sweeney commented a snowmobile club should be able to provide <br /> the City with enforcement issues. <br /> Slippery Streets <br /> Council Member Sweeney stated he has received complaints from residents about the streets <br /> being slippery, especially Main Street, Brian Drive and any entrance onto the county roads. Mr. <br /> March added there were some areas by 73" and Mill road that were slippery as well. <br /> VIII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> Restructuring Proposal <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br />
