Title
REQUEST FOR CONSENSUS TO AMEND SECTION 101.36, “ADDITIONAL RULES APPLYING TO PARKS, RECREATIONAL FACILITIES AND THE MUNICIPAL BEACH” OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES
SPONSOR: VICE MAYOR ADAM FRANKEL
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to Direct Staff to Amend Section 101.36, “Additional Rules Applying to Parks, Recreational Facilities and the Municipal Beach,” of the City of Delray Beach Code of Ordinances.
Body
Background:
This agenda item seeks consensus to direct staff to amend the City’s Code of Ordinances to prohibit adults 18 years or older from entering or remaining in a designated children’s play area, unless the adult is supervising and/or accompanying children who are using the designated children’s play area. Recently, Palm Beach County amended the County Code with this prohibition. Because this provision of the Palm Beach County Code does not apply to municipal parks, consensus is requested to direct staff to draft a similar ordinance applicable to City parks.
