CC MEETING: April 7, 2015
DATE: March 24, 2015
TO: Leonard Martin, City Manager
FROM: Kim Bybee, Athletics Manager, and Scott Whitaker, Parks & Recreation Director
Title
Consider An Ordinance Amending Title XIII, Chapter 133, "Parks And Recreation," Of The Carrollton Code Of Ordinances Regarding General Policies And Guidelines.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This item proposes changes to the city's ordinance regarding Parks and Recreation General Policies and Guidelines. The amendments were drafted based on changes to actual operating procedures and simplifying the language. A few changes to note were the removal of the Youth Sports Council as well as changes to key request and light operation procedures. The Youth Sports Council initially met but was later discovered to be unnecessary due to a regular turnover in board members throughout each association. Individual meetings were also established with each association to better meet the diverse needs of each sport. Keys are rarely requested due to the installation of combination locks on many facility access points and lights are controlled through our Musco Control Link System. Each association has been given permission to schedule lights in order to better serve the needs of their respective associations based on league schedules.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no financial implications with these revisions. No fee changes are proposed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff presented the amended changes to the Park Board at the March 9 meeting. Park Board members and Staff recommend approval of the ordinance, as amended.
