person who violates this provision by �return-
ing to the park on the same day is guilty of
a misdemeanor.
Subd. 5. /FROCEDURE FOR EXPELLING SOMEONE FROM THE
PARK FOR A PERIOD IN EXCESS OF 24 HOURS.7 A person

director or employee shall, as soon as is reason-

following:
(1) The description of the person for whom
consent was withdrawn including, if
available, the person's name, address ,
and phone number.
(2) A statement of the facts giving rise to the
withdrawal of consent.
If the director or, in his absence, a person
designated by the director for this purpose,
upon reviewing the report, finds that the person
has intentionally disrupted the orderly operation
of the park or playground, written confirmation
may be entered upon the report of the action
taken by the officer or employee. If the
director or, in the director s absence, the
director's designee does not confirm the action
of the recreation director or employee within
24 hours after the time that consent was
withdrawn, the expelled person may return to
the park or plapground 24 hours after issuance
of the initial order. Any arrest made during
the 24-hour period shall be valid and deemed
to have been made with probable cause insofar

recreation director or employee. Evidence of
a failure to confirm is inadmissible at trial.

longer than 14 days from the date upon which
consent was initially withdrawn. The person
for whom consent was withdrawn may submit a
written request for a hearing on the withdrawal

drawn pursuant to subdivision 6, and who has not
had the consent reinstated, and who wilfully

T0: Councilman John Drew
FROM: Robert P. P�\��
SUBJECT: Park Ordinance
There apparently was some confusion about which Park Ordinance was to be
adopted by the City Council . The copy of the ordinance which was originaily
introduced by Councilman Fletcher was modified when the prosecutor noted some
minor changes which were needed. A copy of these changes is attached for
your information. The ordinance introduced 6y Counci�man Wilson includes
these changes and should be substituted for the Fletcher version. Both are
substantially the same and deal with trespassing in the parks.
We will be forwarding the rules and regulations for the park and recreation
system as soon as they are redraf ted. The rules and regulations will be
adopted 6y Council Resolution at that time.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 298-4126.
