Sartell’s no-parking winter ordinance has been in effect since November, although with the lack of snow, many may not have been aware of that.
Police Chief Jim Hughes reminded the council of the ordinance at its last meeting.
The ordinance states parking is not allowed on any city street, alley or thoroughfare between the hours of 1-7 a.m. in the months of November through March.
The ordinance is in effect regardless of the amounts of snow that may have fallen through those months. Vehicles in violation may be ticketed or towed. The fine for violating the ordinance is $25, with an additional $5 if not paid to the city within seven days.
