HEBARD Traci L <br /> From: HEBARD Traci L <br /> To: WEILER Phil J; NORRIS Linda H; ANDERSEN Chris F <br /> Subject: West University Park Closed (for items from City Manager) <br /> Date: Tuesday, December 05, 1995 4:07PM <br /> FROM: Bob Hammitt <br /> On November 27, 1995, the West University Park on 14th Ave. between Hilyard and Patterson Streets <br /> was closed to entry by all persons other than police officers and authorized City employees through <br /> Administrative Order No. 58-95-18. <br /> This action was taken upon the request of the West University Neighborhood Association and University <br /> West Small Business Association. The written requests for the park closure followed an increase in illegal <br /> activities within the park. Public Safety and Public Works staff met with the Neighborhood Association on <br /> October 6, 1995, to discuss illegal activities in the park and possible solutions. <br /> The City Attorney's Office prepared Administrative Order 58-95-07 to amend the Park Rules. The order <br /> gives the Executive Director of the Public Works Department the authority to temporarily close parks and/or <br /> facilities when the public need to preserve the welfare and safety of residents, in the vicinity of the park(s), <br /> outweighs the public's right of access to parks and/or facilities. Administrative Order No. 58-95-18 <br /> ordering the closure of West University Park was signed November 20, 1995. Four "Park Closed" signs <br /> were erected on November 22, 1995, at the park entrances giving notification of the ensuing park closure <br /> to take place on November 27, 1995. <br /> For further information, please contact Bob Hammitt (687-5220), or Dick Morgan (465-2683). <br /> Page 1 <br />
