DATE July 12, 2005
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: REGULATION OF PARKING IN MUNICIPAL PARKS
BACKGROUND:
Periodically, motor vehicles park in locations within City parks that are not designated as parking
areas. This may include grass areas beyond the hard-surfaced roadways and parking lots.
This is a safety issue for park users and may also damage the turf.
Currently no City ordinance exists prohibiting parking in unauthorized areas of the City's parks.
City law enforcement, legal and parks staff have developed the attached ordinance to address
this situation. This ordinance will help provide a safe environment for park users and protect
park areas from damage.
ALTERNATIVES:
1 . Adopt the proposed ordinance to prohibit parking any motor vehicle in any location in a
municipal park except upon the streets, in lots specifically designated for vehicular
parking, or as designated by signs put in place by the City.
2. Do not adopt the proposed ordinance.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1 ,
prohibiting parking any motor vehicle in any location in a park except upon the streets or in lots
specifically designated for vehicular parking.
