SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance Amendment to Recommend Six Additional Parks for
Sledding
DATE: January 23, 2015
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend an ordinance amendment that
would add designated areas in six additional parks to allow sledding.
DISCUSSION
We are currently recommending that sledding be allowed in six additional parks. These
6 parks include Comiskey, Flat Iron, Grant, Orange, Pinard and Washington Parks. The
areas will be maintained as they have been in past winters but would allow sledding
with the passage of this ordinance. The terrain of the parks allows for minimal signage.
Additional areas in the parks system are still being considered for recommendation and
will be brought forward as determined.
RECOMMENDATION
I respectfully request approval of the attached proposed ordinance amendment to the
City Council that would add designated areas of six more parks (Comiskey, Flat Iron,
Grant, Orange, Pinard and Washington) for sledding.
