Title
Amending Section 8.27(3) of the Madison General Ordinances to update the Cross-Country Ski Permit Program.
Body
DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS: This ordinance updates the City’s existing cross-country ski program and permit system. The ordinance removes the specific references to Elver Park and Odana Hills, and instead places the location of covered facilities under the authority of the Board of Parks Commissioners, who can designate certain parks and golf courses as part of the City’s cross country ski program. The fees from the permit are used to support the City’s cross-country ski program and maintenance activities at the covered locations. This change will give the Parks Division more flexibility in locating cross-country ski facilities within the City’s park and golf course system.
