Notice of the proposed Rule amendment was published in the Register -Guard on May 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, 2017, and was made available to any person who had requested such notice. The proposed amendments were also made available for review at the City's Public Works Department, and on the City's website. The Notice provided that written comments would be received for a period of 15 days from the first publication date of the Notice. A summary of the comments received, and my findings addressing the comments, are set out below: 1. Comments revrdin2 eliminatin1l the two hour amplified sound threshold for Special Event Permits (Rule 1.004). A few comments were received asking that rules not be loosened to allow more, or any, amplified sound in parks. One comment was received from an event organizer who didn't want to incur additional permit fees for amplified sound. Findings. The amendment will not change the amount of amplified sound allowed in parks. Instead, it will require that a Special Event Permit be obtained if amplified sound is used for any amount of time, rather than requiring the Permit only if amplified sound is used for more than two hours. Although this amendment will impact events that will use amplified sound for less than two hours, the amendment is necessary to enhance the enjoyment of the park by other park users. No changes are being made to this proposed Rule amendment as a result of these comments. 2. Comments re$!ardin11 prohibition of alcohol consumption without written permission (Rule 1.007). A couple comments were received supporting a ban on alcohol in parks, citing that groups imbibing tend to get more noticeable and loud with time. Many comments received were opposed to a ban of alcohol in all parks. Comments submitted opposing a ban included the following points: • If the problem with alcohol in the parks is attributable to criminals, or the unhoused, or another sub -set of the public, please find another means of addressing it. • Alcohol in parks helps build community in neighborhoods through informal neighborhood gatherings.
