SUl JE T: Recommendation to Adopt Revised Park Rules and Regulations
ISSUE
Should t e City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing revisions to the Park Rules and
Regulati ns,as recommended by the Parks Commission and the Community Services
Department?
ATTAC NTS '
•
1.. raft resolution,with Exhibit A,proposed Park Rules and Regulations; due to the
• f rmatting and layout changes, it was felt that a strike-though document would be
dfficult to read. The specific changes are therefore described below.
• :2. OId Park Rules and Regulations
. 3. Approval memoranda from City Attorney's Office
4. Draft agenda bill
BAGKG4OUND
Periodic lly, a review to update the Park Rules and Regulations is necessary to ensure that
the rules are relevant and effetive. The Parks Commission has the authority under RMC
2-9-6 to ropose such revisions to the City Council. A Community Service Department
• group,including staff members from Parks, Recreation,Facilities,Library, Human •
Services and Maplewood Golf Course, in addition to Parks Commission members and
• Police Department staff,reviewed the current rules and identified issues that were not
• • being met or were out-of-date. This review process,which included the City Attorney's
Office, found several issues that needed to be addressed.
The ievi ions made in response to the group's recommendations'are described below.
PROPOSED CHANGES
Significant changes,other than formatting,and clarifying/simplifying the text, were made
• as folloWs:
■ Customer service has een compromised due to how the Park Rules and
regulations often cite'the Parks Commission as the authorized designee to grant
permission for certain events or activities. Staff could not assist the public with
such requests for authorization,because they did not have the authority to do so.
Renton City Council _
April 1 I,2008
p•2
Where appropriate,these rules have been revised, with the authority given to the
Administrator or the Administrator's authorized designee rather than the Parks
Commission.
The above-mentioned changes affect Sections B.1,2,3,7, 8,and 11,and C;4 and 5,
in the proposed Park Rules and Regulations.
• The Maplewood Golf Course Manager requested that domestic animals be
restricted at the golf course. Section B.11,"Domestic Animals in Parks,"reflects
this change.
• Section B.14,"Littering,"and the former Section B.15, "Refuse Disposal,"were
identified as Iike issues. Therefore,these sections were combined in Section B.14,
"Littering,"and the language was simplified.
• "Noise Restrictions"and "Amplification Devices"were in two different sections,
which was confusing. The"Amplification Devices"section was eliminated and its
content was added to Section B.15, "Noise Restrictions."
• Two sections formerly listed under Civil Violations, "Conduct"and"Lost •
Property,"were moved to Article B,Criminal Violations, as Sections 16 and 17,
per the recommendation of the City Attorney's office. In addition, Section B.16,
"Conduct,"was revised to reflect City Code language.
• Section B.18,"Additional Violations,"was added under Article B,"Criminal
Violations,"to cover any additional criminal laws that may be violated.
• Per the City Attorney's recommendation,anew"Penalties"section was created,in
Article D,which cites the relevant sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The
statement of penalties was formerly noted at the beginning of Article B, "Criminal
Violations,"and Article C; "Civil Violations."Citing the Renton Municipal Code
penalties sections will eliminate the need to revise the penalties section of the Park
Rules and Regulations,whenever the law is revised.
■ Several references to the"Park Board"were made throughout the document;and
these were corrected to read"Parks Commission."
RECOMMENDATION
. On November 20,2007,the Parks Commission recommended that the revised Park Rules
and Regulations be adopted by the City of Renton. In addition,the Community Services
Department recommends adoption of a Resolution authorizing the adoption of the revised
Park Rules and Regulations.
