MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL v /� <br />FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br />.L PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br />,.. <br />DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 1987 <br />RE: CONSIDERATION FOR AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING GLASS <br />CONTAINERS IN THE PARKS <br />Broken glass in the parks is a hazard for park users and a maintenance <br />problem for City staff. Many cities have passed an ordinance to prohibit <br />glass containers in the parks. Since alum"um cans and plastic bottles of <br />coda are easily accessible, the prohibition of glees containers should not <br />provide a hardship for park picnickers or users. Prohibition of glass <br />containers when issued on park signs, described on picnic use forma, and <br />published in the brochure will hopefully help curb the safzty hazards of <br />broken glass in the parks. <br />RECOMMENDATION: To consider the adoption of an ordinance prohibiting glass <br />containers in the parka. <br />
