Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution creates an alcohol ban at Allied Park, which will allow additional enforcement actions against violators of the ban. No appropriation is required.
Title
Creating Subdivision 8.24(1)(ii) of the Madison General Ordinances to Ban Alcohol at Allied Park
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This ordinance creates an alcohol ban at Allied Park. Temporary alcohol bans have been issued under the authority of Board of Parks Commissioners, but these park rule violations have been insufficient to address the ongoing issues at this park. By amending the ordinance, this will make possession of alcohol in the park an ordinance violation and give the City greater enforcement tools to address the underlying issues at the park.
