William ,J. Malinen <br />2660 Civic Center Dirive <br />Roseville, NIN 55113 <br />Dear Mr., Malinen., <br />The Ramsey County Sheriffs Department is bound by state statute to provide a means of permtting <br />temporary structures and events that are placed and occur on the public waters within the count y.1 We <br />axle also, required to answer calls for service on the water., Our department also has a contract with the <br />city of'Roseville, to provide forty-two hours of patrol coverage on Lake Owasso. <br />With that being said, state law is the basis for what activities les are pernlitted on the lake and which are <br />not., In some cases. such as speed limits and no wake zones,, city or county ordinances are more <br />restrictive than state law, and that is the case on Lake Owasso. Many times those ordinances mirror <br />state statute,. <br />When there is, an infraction that occurs on a public waterway., it, is handled the same as ajiy other type <br />police call or traffic violation. The discretion of the officer determines the course of action taken. If <br />I <br />it is determined that a citation should be issued 3 it may be written under state statute or any applicable <br />city or courty ordinance. <br />I have attached several state statutes that cover specific Infort-nation that you requested. I also included <br />the, hours of operation for personal watercraft. <br />ADULT DETENTION DIVIS!Ot� (651)1266-,9350 - CIVIL PROCESS (651) 266-91330, • PATROL DIVISION (651) 481-1317 4 WARRANTS (651) 266-9320 <br />Q' F- sm r, � <br />
