1. Review of Park Facility Uses and Regulations
Parks and Recreation Commission
May 1, 2014

2. Continued Discussion
Previous discussion = allow special events at City parks, with discretion
Considerations: parking, damage, use for general public
Reviewed other cities’ policies
Review/comment on special events guide

3. Potential WMC Changes
– change lead time for special commercial event application from 15 to 60 days
– allow extension of park closing times for permitted events
– allow “reservations” for special commercial events at City parks

4. Other policy decisions
Parameters on certain uses at City parks
Some examples:
Weekly, ongoing uses
Alcohol use
Controversial groups/issues
Private parties (weddings, corporate functions, etc.)
For-profit sales
- Do we really want to allow anyone in City parks?
- Flesh things out, think through the potential outcomes
