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 ::::-::~~-----------::::::-::~--:::::-:::-::::::::::-:::::::::: CITY CLERK FILE ~ .. . e .
