MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manger
Bob Generous, Senior Planner
December 8, 2003
SUB J:
Adoption of Ordinance, Chapter 14, Chanhassen City Code, Parks and
Recreation; Approval of Summary Ordinance for Publication Purposes
ACTION REQUIRED
A simple majority vote of City Council members present is required to adopt the
amendment; however, a 4/5ths vote is required for approval of the summary ordinance
for publication purposes.
BACKGROUND
Over the past two years, the city has been reviewing proposed changes to City Code.
Our overall intent is to try to make the code easier to understand and use by addressing
problems in the code, overlapping code requirements, clarifying ordinance language,
procedures or processes and consolidating the City Code. The proposed changes to
Chapter 14 have been reviewed previously by the Chanhassen Planning Commission
and City Council.
SUMMARY
This chapter deals with the Park and Recreation Commission and park rules. Staff is
proposing changes to correspond with city policies and procedures and to comply with
state statutes. The Park Commission structure is being consolidated in Chapter 2.
The only issue that came up for discussion was whether or not to permit wine within
park boundaries. The proposed ordinance does not include a change which would
permit wine in parks. Currently, malt beverages are permitted (section 14-61).
Staff believes that these changes are primarily administrative, rather than substantive, in
nature and is recommending approval of the amendment.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance for
Chapter 14 of the Chanhassen City Code; and approve the summary ordinance for
publication purposes.
