(Purpose/ Rationale) : Clari.fy lan uage concerning the City's ortion of Town Square Park. There was no language that clarified exactly wha areas constituted Town Square Park. St. Paul Po ice interpreted Town square Park as just the Garden Level. Chapter 170 applied only to the Garden evel. The Concourse, Street & Skyway Levels are lso part of Town Square Park, but no language verified this. Police believed th t Chapter 140 applied to t Concourse, Street & Skyway which it does, excep sales, advertising, and pe formances. This new language verifies Town Square Park area, and Chapter 170 ill govern sales and performances in COST/B�ENEFIT B DGETARY ANO PERSONNEL IMPACTS A ICIPATED: Town Square. �c^�iv�� NA JAPJ � 0 i��f3 MAYC1i�'� �Ft'��,� FINANCING SOURC AND BUDGET ACTIVITY NUNBER CHA GED OR CREDITED: (Mayor's signa- ture not re- Total Amount of Transaction: quired if under $10,00�) Funding Sour e: Activity Nu er: ATTACHMENTS Li t and Number All Attachments : Ordinance DEPARTMENT REVI W CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW Yes �No uncil Resolution Required?
