Action Requested
Discussion of alcohol consumption at Rivers Edge Commons Park
Background/Discussion
The Parks and Recreation Department has an administrative policy restricting the consumption of
alcohol at Rivers Edge Commons Park during city events such as the Riverfront Concert Series.
Because there is not a city ordinance restricting alcohol, police are unable to officially enforce the policy
or issue citations.
Staff is seeking feedback from the Commission regarding the continuance of an unenforceable
administrative policy.
