Administrative Order No. 58-03-14 <br />Public Works Department <br />City of Eugene, Oregon <br />EMERGENCY RULE AMENDING RULE 1.007 OF THE CITY'S PARK <br />RULES AS ADOPTED BY ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERNO. 58-98-16-F. <br />The Executive Director of the Public Works Department of the City of Eugene finds <br />that: <br />A. Pursuant to the prior authority of Section 2.812 et sec .of the Eugene Code, 1971, <br />(subsequently repealed) which authorized the City Manager or designee to adopt Park Rules, and <br />Administrative Order No. 58-92-21 delegating authority for adoption of Park Rules to the Director <br />of the Public Works Department, on June 24, 1994, Administrative Order No. 58-94-12 was issued <br />adopting amended Park rules. Those rules have subsequently been amended, most recently by <br />Administrative Order No. 58-98-16-F, issued on October 20, 1998. <br />B. Substantial amendments to the Park Rules are currently being developed to address <br />numerous issues that have arisen since the adoption of the 1998 amendments.. The proposed <br />amendments, which include revisions to Rule 1.007 (Possession or Consumption of Malt Beverages <br />and Alcoholic Liquor), are being reviewed by affected City departments and are not ready to be <br />processed at this time. <br />C. With the advent of warmer weather there has been an increase in the use of City parks <br />and park facilities. There has also been a significant increase in the number of people consuming <br />malt beverages and alcoholic liquor in park structures in a manner that adversely impacts the public's <br />use and enjoyment of the park facilities. Amending Rule 1.007 of the Park Rules at this time will <br />allow staff to continue their review of the remaining amendments to the Park Rules while addressing <br />the alcohol consumption issues that need to be immediately addressed in order to protect the public's <br />ability to use and enjoy the park facilities. <br />D. Adoption of this Emergency Rule is authorized by Subsection 2.019(6) of the Eugene <br />Code, 1971, and failure to act promptly in effecting this amendment will seriously prejudice the <br />public interest in the use and enjoyment of City park facilities. This amendment should therefore <br />be immediately effective. <br />Therefore, based upon the above findings, and pursuant to the authority of Section 2.019(6) <br />of the Eugene Code, 1971, Park Rule 1.007 is hereby amended to provide: <br />1.007 POSSESSION OR CONSUMPTION OF HARD LIQUOR, MALT <br />BEVERAGES AND ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR. <br />(1) Definitions. Forpurposes ofthis Rule, the following definitions as contained <br />in Section 4.105 of the Eugene Code, 1971 for malt beverage, alcoholic liquor, and hard liquor, <br />Administrative Order - 1 <br />C:\WINDOWS\Temporary intemet Files\OLKA385\03emergprkrul.wpd(07/11/03) <br />
