Full Breakdown
Section 164-6(I) of the Town Property Ordinance reads: all skateboarding and roller-blading is prohibited on Town Hall campus. It is a single sentence with no hour limits, no permit route and no exception, so the ban applies at all times on the campus, both in daylight and after the 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. closing window that § 164-5 sets for Town property.
The ordinance was amended in its entirety 7-17-2018 by L.L. No. 6-2018, and § 164-6 was amended 6-15-2021 by L.L. No. 5-2021. Its purpose, stated in § 164-2, is to regulate the use of real property owned, leased, used or occupied by the Town of Irondequoit, in particular recreation sites and adjacent parking areas, for preserving the public peace, good order and safety of the Town. Section 164-4 defines Town property to include real property to which the Town holds fee title and all real property leased, used or occupied by the Town, including adjacent parking areas.
The skateboarding ban is one of several equipment and activity rules in § 164-6. Subsection (H) prohibits golf practice or play on any Town property. Subsection (J) provides that no person shall ride a snow vehicle, ATV or motorbike upon the lawn on Town property. Subsection (D) bars disorderly conduct under Penal Law § 240.20 and any interference with the orderly use of Town property by other persons.
The scope matters for anyone skating in the Town of Irondequoit. The named ban is limited to the Town Hall campus. Chapter 164 does not print a skateboarding or roller-blading rule for other Town parks, public streets, sidewalks or business districts, so this record does not extend the ban to those places.
Violations & Fines
A violation of Chapter 164 is a Class C violation under § 164-10(A), punishable under § 1-16 by a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $100, or not more than 15 days' imprisonment, or both, plus costs of restoration. Each day an offense continues is a separate offense. Parents or legal guardians of minors over 10 and less than 18 are liable for damage or destruction those minors cause in Town parks, under § 164-10(B) and General Obligations Law § 3-112.
