INTER-DEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM CITY ATTORNEY - CIVIL DEPARTMENT To: Ed Smith, Executive Director PARes Date: June 13, 1989 Subject: Amendment to Park Rule 1.007 Enclosed is the original of an Administrative Order amending Park Rule 1.007 we have prepared at the request of the Police Department. This amendment accomplishes two things: (1) it prohibits possession as well as consumption of alcoholic liquor and malt beverages in the specified park areas, and (2) language similar to that in the motor vehicle code for open containers has been added. We believe these amendments clarify the original intent of the rule and will eliminate some of the enforcement problems currently being experienced. If you have any questions, please contact either myself or Sgt. Greg Zahar with the Police Department. If the Order as drafted meets with your approval, I would appreciate receiving a copy after it has been signed and filed with the City Recorder. HARRANG, LONG, WATKINSON, ARNOLD & 7l:l f~~ Daniel J.
