Shoreview approves new city code

SHORVIEW — The city now has a new city code after City Council approval. It has been 20 years since Shoreview has recodified its code. “The Shoreview city code is a primary tool for many items,” said Assistant City Manager Renee Eisenbeisz, “such as setting rules and managing developments.” Ideally, cities review and modify their codes every 10 years. This allows the city to identify conflicting ordinances and inconsistences between chapters and state statutes, update outdated ordinances and organize the code. The city hired Municode in early 2023 to undertake this project, which includes conducting a thorough review of the code, organizing and indexing the code, recommending updates to outdated ordinances or inconsistencies and providing the city with an ordinance to adopt a new code. Eisenbeisz said that for the past year and half, Municode and city staff have worked to reorganize the code into two parts and 29 chapters. Staff also used this time to update some language to reflect current practices or match new or updated state statutes. “Part one is our general ordinances, which outline items such as licenses, alcoholic beverages, utilities and property maintenance. Part two is land use and development,” she explained. Major changes include updates to Chapter 2 and Chapter 4 in the city code. Chapter 2 covers administration.

Manager Kristin Cranmer, she expects the party’s vibe to be no different from what past attendees have seen. “I hope what people get out of it is that it’s the best Halloween party they’ve ever been to!” said
First USA women’s bobsled team reconnects after 30 years For over 50 years, women were told they could not participate in bobsledding because it was too dangerous for their body, the sleds were too heavy and the speeds were more than they could handle. In 1940, Katharin Dewey, great-granddaughter of Melville Dewey, became the first and only woman in sports history to beat out men in the national senior
bobsled competition. At the time, teams were occasionally composed of men and women. However, after she and her three male teammates won the gold medal, women were banned from the sport of bobsledding on a worldwide scale. It was not until September 26, 1994, that a group of nine women were officially named to the first-ever United States women’s bobsled team. Liz Parr, a Shoreview resident, was an original member of the first national
