Residents raise ATV noise concerns; senior center funding request tabled pending budget details
Summary
A resident reported persistent ATV noise and safety concerns; the council directed the resident to file complaints with police. Separately, the Senior Center requested assistance with utility bills but the council voted to table the discussion pending more financial details.
During public comment at the May 14 meeting, resident Jodi Dixon described ongoing noise and safety problems stemming from neighboring ATV activity, saying that "every Sunday they literally have a racetrack in their yard." The council advised Dixon to log complaints with the Police Department under the city noise ordinance, which the public record cites as a 50-foot standard for audible neighbor disturbance. No formal enforcement action was recorded in the minutes; the matter was directed to the Police Department for follow-up.
Separately, the council discussed a request from the Long Prairie Senior Center for assistance with utility bills and noted that more detailed budget information is required. Council member Lilah Gripne moved to table the senior-center funding discussion until the center provides specific budget details; Council member Gabrier Perez seconded the motion, which was unanimously approved. Councilmembers noted furnace age and potential future repair needs but did not commit city funds without further information.
