ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-16-16 of the Executive Director of the Public Works Department TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF CHARNEL MULLIGAN PARK. The Executive Director of the Public Works Department finds that: A. Pursuant to the authority of Administrative Order No. 21-03-12 issued by the City Manager, the Executive Director of the Public Works Department is authorized to regulate City parks, protect park visitors and the park environment, and adopt rules regarding the use of parks. B. Section 1.003 of the Parks and Open Space Rules, adopted by Administrative Order No. 58-16-05-F, authorizes the temporary closure of all or any portion of a park, open space, or facility upon finding that conditions that threaten the welfare or safety of nearby residents exist and the need to preserve their welfare and safety outweighs the public's right of access to the park, open space and/or facility. C. The City will be undertaking a complete renovation of Charnel Mulligan Park ("the Park"). Included within the footprint of the renovation project is the unimproved segment of Chamelton Alley located along the western boundary of the Park. Existing improvements, such as a retaining wall, are located within the unimproved alley and there is no distinguishable boundary between the unimproved alley and the Park. Renovation of the Park necessitates closing the entire Park (including the unimproved alley) to protect the public from construction -related hazards. D. A separate revocable permit has been issued to allow for Park -related renovation activities to occur within the improvement segment of Chamelton Alley located at the northwest corner of the park between the northern boundary of the Park and 16th Avenue. Prior to reopening the Park, if necessary, this improved segment of Chamelton Alley will be permanently closed in accordance with EC 5.040. E. The first day that construction on the project will necessitate Park closure will be July 11, 2016, with continuous closure until the project's completion, currently scheduled for October 14, 2016. F. The need to protect and preserve the welfare and safety of residents living nearby Charnel Mulligan Park outweigh the public's right of access to the above-mentioned Charnel Mulligan Park. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. Beginning July 11, 2016, Charnel Mulligan Park as shown on the map attached as Exhibit A to this Order shall be closed to entry by all persons other than police officers, authorized City employees and persons with explicit authorization from the Public Works Director or the Administrative Order - Page 1 of 2
