Full Breakdown
Sec. m. No person may be in or upon any city park during that window unless the city has given specific written consent naming the time, date and number of persons authorized to use the park during closed hours, a stricter standard than a general permission slip. Subsection (3) gives the city manager independent authority to close some or all parks immediately, even outside the standard hours, upon determining that public health, safety or welfare is being adversely affected, implemented by posting closure signs at the affected areas.
The section, renumbered and reissued by Ordinance No. 6, sits alongside Sec. 54-4, which authorizes park staff and police to expel or exclude anyone who violates posted park rules or endangers people or property, using the same escalating penalty structure as the park-closing rule.
Violations & Fines
Violating the park-closing rule is a municipal civil infraction: $50.00 for an initial violation and $150.00 for a second offense. A third or subsequent offense in the same calendar year becomes a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.00. Courts may additionally order conduct restrictions to prevent repeat violations.
