MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council FROM: Bruce K. Anderson , Director 1111 Parks , Recreation and Forestry DATE: April 23 , 1985 RE : Ordinance Modification Staff received a memorandum from Jan Quick , Chairperson of the Mounds View Festivities Commission on March 14 , 1985 requesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission review the existing City ordinance Chapter 52 entitled Parks , Playgrounds and Open Space and Recreation Area Rules and Regulations. The specific request from the Festivities Commission was to review sub-section 52. 03 which dealt with intoxicating and non-intoxicating beverages. The current City code 52.03 reads as follows : INTOXICATING AND NON-INTOXICATING BEVERAGES No intox- icating beverages shall be consummed , displayed , or possessed in any park , playground, open space or recre- ation area in the City. In no event shall any• non- intoxicating Liquors be sold or bartered in any park , playground , open space or recreation area . The ordinance was drafted by the Parks and Recreation Commission three years ago and at that time , the Commission had recommended originally that alcohol consumption be permitted at City Hall and Silver View Park and other neighborhood parks on a permit basis. The City Council overruled the Parks and Recreation Commission , and the current ordinance was adopted as indicated. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed Chapter 52 at their regularly scheduled March 28 Commission Meeting and would recommend the ordinance be drafted as follows : The ordinance as approved by the Parks and Recreation Commission would allow consumption of beer as defined in the ordinance in any of the neighborhood parks or City park system and without any permit required and a permit would be required in the ordinance for sale of alcoholic beverages in the parks. •
