Section 30.51 of the Building Code which requires a Code
Compliance inspection whenever there is a proposed change in the
person, firm or corporation occupying any residential building or
part thereof, ... such change of occupancy shall not be made
unless a certificate of compliance is issued by the Building
Inspector". Ald. Patterson moved to deny request. Seconded by

The Committee discussed proposed ordinance on parking of
commercial vehicles in residential areas. Ald. Patterson moved
to defer until Chief Johnson reviews with City Attorney.
Seconded by Ald. Taube, motion carried.
The Committee reviewed proposed revision to Chapter 24 to include
the new State Statute 23.33 regarding all -terrain vehicles. It
provides, just as with snowmobiles, the adoption of all -terrain
vehicle state laws and includes all -terrain vehicles in the local
optional hours of operation - Section 24.02. The proposed
ordinance also modifies Section 24.01 to provide for future State
Statute changes so that they are automatically changed in our
ordinances. Ald. Taube moved to direct the City Attorney to
draft the appropriate ordinance. Seconded by Ald. Patterson,
motion carried.
The Committee reviewed the proposed amendment to the

directed that a copy of the present schedule be sent to the City
Attorney, along with the proposed schedule, requesting him to
determine whether the change should be done by resolution or
ordinance change.
