Pursuant to the authority of Administrative Order No. 21 -03 -12 issued by the City <br /> Manager, the Executive Director of the Public Works Department is authorized to regulate City <br /> parks, protect park visitors and the park environment, and adopt rules regarding the use of parks. <br /> B. Section 1.003 of the Parks and Open Space Rules, adopted by Administrative <br /> Order No. 58- 09 -11 -F, authorizes the temporary closure of all or any portion of a park, open <br /> space, or facility upon finding that conditions that threaten the welfare or safety of nearby <br /> residents exist and the need to preserve their welfare and safety outweighs the public's right of <br /> access to the park, open space and/or facility. <br /> C. On April 16, 2012, I issued Administrative Order No. 58 -10 -04 closing a portion <br /> of Scobert Park, located at 1180 West 4 Avenue, effective 12:01 a.m. on April 23, 2010 until <br /> April 22, 2012. <br /> D. It is necessary to extend the closure because the above - mentioned portion of <br /> Scobert Park continues to be a haven for illegal activities creating an atmosphere that threatens <br /> the welfare and safety of the residents in the area. Efforts to curtail the illegal activities, <br /> including the fencing of the area, have been unsuccessful. <br /> E. The need to protect and preserve the welfare and safety of residents living nearby <br /> Scobert Park outweigh the public's right of access to the fenced portion of Scobert Park. <br /> Now, therefore, based on the above findings, which are hereby adopted: <br /> IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: <br /> 1. The closure of the portion of Scobert Park, located at 1180 West 4 Avenue, <br /> delineated by a black wrought iron fence erected by the City, is extended and shall be closed to <br /> entry by all persons other than police officers, authorized City employees and persons with <br /> written authorization from the Public Works Director or the Parks Maintenance Manager until <br /> April 22, 2014. <br /> Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2 <br />
