MEMORANDUM
To: Crystal City Council
From: Troy Gilchrist, City Attorney
Date: November 1, 2018 (November 8, 2018 Worksession)
Re: Revised Chapter 13 (Traffic, Motor Vehicles, and Other Vehicles)
The City Council has reviewed and given direction on Chapter 13 at its October 11, 2018
worksession and it is back before you to explain the changes made since that worksession as it is
scheduled for first reading at the November 8, 2018 regular City Council meeting. The
following summarizes the substantive changes made from the previous version. If the City
Council has any further directions for changes, I can express that as part of introducing the
ordinance at the first reading and then revise the ordinance for the second reading.
The following is a summary of the changes made:
• 1310.05, subd. 4: Replaced snow emergency with snow event and reworded the
subdivision;
• 1310.05, subd. 5: Clarified the no parking in a park parking lot is limited to semi-trucks
and trailers;
• (NEW) 1310.15: Added a new subsection to address “shared mobility devices” (bikes
and scooters) as to where they may not be left and creating a process for the city to
impound them and charge a fee to reclaim them. Note the restrictions on locations are
limited to public right-of-ways and public property;
• 1325.15, subd. 4: Deleted the provision that capped the total number of vehicles allowed
on a driveway or auxiliary space;
• 1325.15, subd. 10: Removed the six week display limitation and the requirement that
spoke to the past use of the vehicle displayed for sale;
• 1335.07: Deleted the helmet requirement;
• 1340: Streamlined the language on skateboards; and
2
543551v1 TJG CR225-423
• (NEW) 1345: Added language regarding food trucks to indicate where they can be
operated and establishes some minimum performance standards. If a food truck is to be
located in a city street as part of a special event or operated in a city parking lot or park, a
permit from the city is needed. The 21 day limitation reflects statutory language.
As always, I will be happy to answer any questions and, as mentioned above, there remains an
opportunity to make further changes to this chapter between first and second reading if the City
Council so desires.
