Administrative Order No. 58-96-17
Executive Director
Public Works Department
City of Eugene, Oregon
Delegating Authority to the Police Services Division Deputy
Director to Issue Notices of Restriction of Use Pursuant to Park
Rule 1.005 and Conduct Hearings Thereon.
The Executive Director of the Public Works Department of the City of Eugene finds
that:
A. On June 6, 1994 I issued Administrative Order No. 58-94-12 adopting amended
Park Rules. Park Rule 1.005(3)(a) provides that any person who: (1) engages in conduct that
results in the person being asked to leave the park area, recreational facility, or activity; (2) is
issued a Notice of Rule Violation; or (3) is arrested or cited by a police officer for any violation
of Park Rules, the Eugene Code, 1971, or state or federal law may be issued a Notice of
Restriction of Use that prohibits the person's future use of City parks or facilities, or from
participation in City sponsored programs or activities for a specified period of time, and their
entry therein or thereon during the restricted period will constitute trespassing.
B. Under Park Rule 1.074, any person to whom a Notice of Restriction of Use is
issued may file a written request for hearing with the Executive Director of the Public Works
Department within 48 hours (exclusive of weekends) of receipt of the notice. The Executive
Director's decision may be appealed to a hearings official appointed by the City Manager.
C. Because City police officers are called upon to enforce the Park Rules, the Eugene
Code, 1971, and other federal and state statutes within City park and facilities, it would be more
efficient and in the public interest to delegate my authority to issue notices of restriction of use
under Park Rule 1.005 and to conduct hearings thereon pursuant to Park Rule 1.074 to the City's
Deputy Director, Police Services Division, Department of Public Safety.
Now, therefore, based on the above findings,
The Executive Director of the Public Works Department of the City of Eugene, orders
and directs as follows:
1. Except as provided in Section 2 below, the Public Works Department Executive
Director's authority to issue notices of restriction of use under Park Rule 1.005 and to conduct
hearings thereon pursuant to Park Rule 1.074 is hereby delegated to the Deputy Director of the
City of Eugene's Department of Public Safety, Police Services Division, or the Deputy Director's
designee.
Administrative Order - 1
2. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the ability of other City
personnel to cause a notice of restriction of use that I issue or the Executive Director of LRCS
issues to be served pursuant to Park Rule 1.005, and any hearings on such notices shall be
conducted by the Executive Director issuing the notice.
Dated and effective this Ihm. day of August, 1996.
