Park Hours Ordinance
MEETING DATE: September 18, 2000
BACKGROUND: The City Council identified, in a recent workshop with the Parks
Department and the Police Department, a need to improve the city ordinance regulating
park hours. Currently there is no city ordinance that permits enforcement of park hours.
The Parks and Police Departments believe this ordinance is necessary to control
vandalism in our city parks.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The City Council should adopt Ordinance #1364, limiting
park hours.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None
ALTERNATIVES: As recommended by Council.
Respectfully submitted,
Frank Garner
