DESCRIPTION : In 1988, the Dublin city council adopted
Ordinance No. 16-88, An Ordinance Of The city Of DUblin Establishing
Rules And Regulations Governing Use Of Parks And Recreation Areas And
Facilities. This Ordinance was subsequently incorporated into the
Dublin Municipal Code as Chapter 5.100. This ordinance applies to the
civic Center grounds as well as city parks. .
At the July 12, 1993 City council meeting, Staff introduced the
attached ordinance which amends Chapter 5.100. proposed deletions are
indicated by ~~~~~e-e~~ and proposed additions are indicated by
underline. A discussion of the proposed revisions follows.
section 5.100.090 currently prohibits the sale of any "article or
thing". Staff has revised this section to more clearly state that
selling, vending, peddling, teaching and instructing or sponsoring a
program are prohibited unless authorized by the City. The current
language is unclear when an individual may want to use park property
for private gain. An example would be the use of the tennis courts at
Kolb Park for tennis classes which are not sponsored by the City but
are being held on City property. Staff has recommended the revised
language in this section to clearly prohibit unauthorized private use
of parks for a profit.
Revisions to section 5.100.110 and Section 5.100.120 add clarifying
language to a number of the subsections without changing the original
intent.
Changes to Section 5.100.140 deal with the use of skates and
skateboards in the parks. As proposed, skates (both roller skates and
in-line skates) would be prohibited in areas reserved for pedestrian
use.' Skateboards would be prohibited except in areas designated by
the City Council. At the present time, there is not an area which has
been designated or is suitable for use by skateboards.
Changes to Section 5.100.150 prohibits consumption of alcoholic
beverages at the Dublin Senior Center which is consistent with the
Facility Use Policy for this Center and is consistent with the
Education Code which prohibits consumption of alcoholic beverages on
school property.
The Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed the proposed
revisions and recommends adoption by the city Council. Therefore, it
is recommended that the City council take the following action:
1) Open Public Hearing
2) Receive staff Presentation
3) Receive PUblic Comment
4) Close Public Hearing
5) Deliberate
6) Waive Reading and Adopt Ordinance
