Guidelines changed for city park usage

The city council has OK’d a change in the guidelines for usage of a city park or bowery that has been reserved for use by a specific party.

In action taken recently, the council voted to make it a Class C misdemeanor to enter or remain upon parks, boweries or other park areas, which have been reserved and that person was been informed by a city employee or the party holding the reservation that the park had been reserved for exclusive use of those with a reservation and their invitees,

As part of the same action, the council also voted to amend a portion of the criminal code, making it a Class B misdemeanor to enter a motor vehicle without the permission of the owner of that vehicle.
