INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to recommend removing City Ordinance 10-5A-1:
Park Rangers.
BACKGROUND
In April of 2014, the job description for Park Ranger was changed which included Park
Rangers no longer being certified Law Enforcement Officers.
DISCUSSION
City Ordinance Title 10-5A-1 States: Employees assigned duties from time to time as
park rangers in the leisure services department are designated as law enforcement
officers subject to the certification of the successful completion of training at an
approved law training facility. (Ord. 54-06, 7-5-2006)
This ordinance is no longer needed as Park Rangers are no longer Law Enforcement
officers.
