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
Parks and Open Space Division Manager, including contractors performing the renovation work.
The Park will be closed until the project's completion, currently scheduled for October 14, 2016.
2. In addition to any other measures that may be implemented to ensure that entry to
the closed Charnel Mulligan Park is restricted, the City will post clearly visible signs advising the
public the Park that the park is closed and unauthorized entry into the closed areas is prohibited.
Dated this _.day of July, 2016.
