BY BILL STICKELS III [email protected]

Cambridge residents who park their cars on city streets and fail to remove them overnight in the winter will now get a very brief warning to remove their vehicle before receiving a ticket or having their car towed. Effective immediately, any car observed parked on a city street after 10 p.m. between Nov. 1 through March 31 will fi rst be given an “administrative citation” that warns the car’s owner to remove the car within the next four hours.

Woulfe said the opinion that was made indicated that while the city’s winter parking ordinance ‘Jolly old St. Nicholas, lean your ear this way’ was legal, certain changes should be made to A boy whispers something into Santa’s ear as his sister waits her turn to give Santa her wish list during a “drive-thru” Santa strengthen it to meet statutory requirements. visit at the Isanti County Sheriff ’s Offi ce on Saturday, Dec. 5.
