MEMO TO: Mounds View City Coy FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Parks, Recreation ar DATE: April 23, 1985 RE: Ordinance Modification Staff received a mumorandum 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 reaps as follows: INTOXICATING AND NON -INTOXICATING BEVERAGES No intox- icating beverages shall be consumed, displayed, or possessed in any park, playground, open space or recreation 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: INTOXICATING AND NON -INTOXICATING BEVERAGES No intox- icating beverages except malt beverages containing in excess of 3.2 percent of alcohol by weight shall be consumed, displayed, or possessed in any park, play- ground, open space or recreation area in the City. In no event shall any non -intoxicating liquors be sold or bartered in any park, playground, open space or recrea- tion area, except by a valid permit issued by the Mounds View City Council.
