Title

SECOND READING

CHAPTER 82 - TRAFFIC AND VEHICLE OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF BLAINE

Background

Chapter 82 of the Blaine City Code is the traffic ordinance covering various items, including parking, snowmobile/recreational motor vehicle usage, etc.  It has not been updated in a considerable amount of time.  Recommendations for updates were presented at Council Workshop on July 8^th.  Council consensus was to move forward with First Reading at August 5^th City Council Meeting.

Staff reviewed new placement for Sec 82-7. Placement of vehicles as it was proposed to be removed from Chapter 82 and included in another section of City code more directed to items left on property and not on streets.  The consensus was this was a larger discussion as other items should be included such as storage pods, ice houses, etc.  Staff will be doing a larger City code review this winter and research what other cities do for these items and will bring forwarded proposed amendments for Council consideration at that time.  In the meantime should issues arise they could be enforced under 34-322 Storage of junk and junk vehicles. 

Recommendation

Staff recommends holding First Reading of the proposed ordinance and scheduling second reading for August 19^th.
