V.DISCUSSION ITEMS
1) Snowmobile Regulations
. Discussion was held regarding snowmobile regulations.
Administrator Larson reported that he had met with administrators from Circle Pines,
Lexington and Lino Lakes. Snowmobile regulations were discussed and all of the cities
are willing to consider changes to their rules in and effort to coordinate with neighboring
cities. Also, the matter was discussed with City Council and they are also willing to
consider changes.
It appears that Centerville has some of the most restrictive rules especially on the hours
of use. The Commission agreed that some of the Centerville rules could be relaxed to
better match neighboring cities. The major items include: allowing snowmobiles to come
into and leave the city by the most direct route, even during the restricted hours; speed
limit could be increased to 15 mph; prohibition of studs could be removed in favor of
following whatever state law has on the subject; equipment rules could be removed in
order to defer to what is in state law; Lino Lakes might be encouraged to defer to state
