2, Discussion and consideration of amending Ordinance 0-93-906 pertaining to
operation of motor vehicles in public parks
Monica Sue Walsh, Director of Parks and Recreation reviewed the current Parks
Ordinance 0-93-906 which restricts motorized vehicles in parks to areas specifically
designed for vehicular use, such as streets and driveways. She outlined issues to
consider when reviewing the ordinance which included noise factors, safety factor,
environmental factors, public sidewalk vs. park trail/sidewalks, the profile of park
users and being proactive vs, reactive. She also reviewed the areas where scooters
can be ridden.
After general discussion by the board, it was requested that signage be placed in the
parks indicating scooters were not allowed. Staff concurred that signage would be
added to reflect no scooters were allowed in the parks. Chuck Thomas moved that
the present ordinance 0-93-906 not be changed. Vince Rosen seconded the motion.
The vote was unanimous.
