Hi Suzie,
I’ve been recovering from surgery so am a bit late in sending this email. I don’t have access to the background information/discussion that resulted in item #24 on the Council agenda today. I do not support this ordinance and believe that it is an extreme measure to correct what appears to be a problem of vandalism. I spent many years taking my niece and nephew to the local parks and the only people I saw taking over equipment and perhaps misusing it were older middle or high school students.
It appears that this ordinance prohibits anyone older than 12 from using the equipment. Is this correct? Does this ordinance criminalize anyone who violates the ordinance? And who will be enforcing this?
In my mind, this is an extreme measure to address a problem that should be able to be solved via some other action/alternative.
Regards,
Dianne Sundstrom
