The unfortunate part is <br />tAat we had a large picnic scheduled for Sunday, August 12, 7979 and not <br />only did we hzve some unhappy residents, but the crew was calted in for <br />overtime to clean up the area. <br />As can be seen by the enclosed listing of picnics scheduled at City Hall, <br />it has been a very busy and active site. <br />Ta alleviate the problems that have existed staff would recomnend the following <br />modifications in the Park Usage Policy relating to large group picnics. (A <br />large group picnic fs defined as any group aver 25 people). <br />1. A clean-up deposft be charged each group of $25.00 which will be <br />refundable upon satisfactory cleanup. <br />2. Any group exceeding 200 people will need City Council approval prior <br />to the issuance of a park permit. <br />3• Only Fbunds View residents and businesses will be issued a permit for <br />large group picnics. <br />In addition to the three additional policy statements staff wauld offer the <br />followSng possible addit5ons: <br />1. A clean up or park usage fee be assessed to all large group picnics <br />of $10.00 to be placed in a special City Hall Park PScnic fund. <br />� <br />
