ORDINANCE FOR INTRODUCTION
RECOMMENDATION
To adopt the attached Ordinance amending the Tustin City Code relative to uses
permitted in public parks and places.
BACKGROUND
At the request of co,,,unity groups, the Co,,,unity Services Director and Police
Chief have been researching a permit process whereby alcoholic beverages could
be allowed at certain community events. Staff has drafted such a procedure
which has been approved by the Acting Police Chief, the Community Services
Director, and the Interim City Manager. The attached Ordinance was drafted by
the City Attorney to interface properly with the proposed permit procedure.
The key to this policy change.is the permit procedure, which will be handled
administratively. There are three checkpoints in the process: each permit must
be approved by the Community Services Director, the Police Chief, and the City
Manager. A draft is attached for Council's information. Staff is confident
that the process will be successful; other cities have utilized a similar
process with good results.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact will be minimal; each applicant must post a cleaning and
damage deposit. There may be a very slight increase in revenues, as there will
be a small fee for permits.
