In particular, with the <br />addition of the Five Points Town Plaza, the regulatory issues relating to alcohol permitting in our parks and <br />general uses in parks needed to be upgraded. Our Ordinance governing public hours of operation of our parks <br />was not codified and so now is being included in this amendment. <br /> <br />The following bullets highlight the major changes being proposed in this amendment. <br /> <br />· CodifY and defme existing alcohol permit rules and regulations that are currently in use. <br />· Add new parks to park system inventory and codifY public hours of operation for parks in the <br />City of La Porte park system. <br />· Remove two facilities that are no longer serving as park related or rental facilities. <br />· Change the status ofFairmont Park from Regional Park to Community Park status in <br />anticipation of the new sports complex opening. <br />· Add additional general use provisions for parks in the City of La Porte park system. <br />· Remove provisions for the operation of Sylvan Beach Pavilion. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance amending Chapter 6 and Chapter 50 as shown. The <br />amendment will allow us to operate the new facilities more efficiently and appropriately. <br /> <br /> <br />enda <br /> <br />t?9/to <br /> <br />Date <br />
