<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Parks & Recreation Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Bryce Shearen, Parks & Recreation/Community Services Manager <br /> <br />DATE: February 1, 2019 <br /> <br />RE: Control and Management of Parks and Park Facilities <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />After a review of the current Control and Management of Parks and Park Facilities Ordinance in <br />the Municipal Code, it was found to be in need of a revision with multiple changes to bring it up- <br />to-date. There was a lot of redundant language, outdated language, and language that was <br />covered by other ordinances or State law. <br /> <br />Staff completed a survey of many of the communities in the metro area to see what language <br />other cities parks and recreation ordinances were using. After a thorough review and multiple <br />changes in the effort to modernize the ordinance language by staff, attached are the proposed <br />ordinance amendments for your consideration. <br /> <br />Formal editing and formatting of the ordinance document to remain consistent with the other <br />Municipal Codes will take place after any final revisions. The City Attorney will also review the <br />proposed changes before being presented to the City Council for adoption. Staff is looking for <br />comments from the Commission on the proposed changes to the Ordinance. <br /> <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Staff recommends approving the Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 2601 - Control and <br />Management of Parks and Park Facilities and recommending approval of adoption by the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Proposed ordinance amendments for 2601 – Control and Management of Parks and Park <br />Facilities
