INTRODUCTION:
Attached is Ordinance No. 740, an ordinance pertaining to the parking restrictions in
Section 9.50, Subdivision 7, Towing and also amending Subdivision 8 (B) Snow
Emergency Routes of the City Code.
BACKGROUND:
City Council last amended City Code Section 9.50 on October 16, 2001. Public Works is
requesting council to consider two amendments.
1. Section 9.50, Subdivision 7 Towing - Staffis requesting to change the ordinance
to read as follows:
Subd. 7. Towing. Persons in violation of the parking restrictions outlined in this
Section and parking on designated SilO'.'..' emergency routes, shall be tagged and
subj ect to being towed at their own expense.
The deletion of this wording clarifies that all parking violations of this section
shall be tagged and subject to tow at the owner's expense. This amendment
clarifies that vehicles parked in violation of the parking restrictions in the central
business district can be immediately towed so that Public Works staff can remove
the snow without vehicles impeding operations. Past practice has been to
automatically tow vehicles, but the Police Department indicated to Public Works
that they would like further clarity in the ordinance to tow vehicles.

council to consider adding:
1.) 17th A venue, from '.Veston Lane to ~'2 Mile East of Sarazin Street County
