Director of Park and Recreation
FROM: Craig G. Swanson, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to Park Ordinance
For the past several years attempting to manage the use of alcoholic
beverages has become more and more difficult within the city parks.
I will spare you examples of this difficulty and simply state the
bottom line as outlined by City of Edina Ordinance Number 901, Part
D, Section 19; "No intoxicating or non -intoxicating malt liquor shall
be consumed in a public park ."
At least two of our parks, Braemar and Cornelia, are frequently used
for picnics by individuals and groups. Also, the consumption of beer
seems to be integral to picnicing in our community.
Therefore, with the lack of the Police Department's ability to enforce
Ordinance 901, I suggest the ordinance be amended. This amendment to
the ordinance could simply read:
"No intoxicating or non -intoxicating malt liquor shall be
consumed in a public park without the expressed approval
of the Director of Park and Recreation, nor shall it be
consumed on a public street . . . etc, etc. . ."
This modification would permit you to authorize beer in the parks used
for picnics and set conditions on that use. Additionally, it would
continue to prohibit use in the other park areas.
In my estimation this appears to be a simple solution to a long-term
and sometimes problematic situation. I would be happy to talk with
you or the Park Board on the matter.
