Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
See attached Memorandum to Municipal Operations Committee. This
matter was considered at the August 17, 1993 Municipal Operations
Committee meeting prior to first reading. The Committee
recommended the buffer zone around playground equipment be 50
feet. They were not in favor of a City-wide leash law. They were
c
in favor of a City-wide "pooper s ooper" law for public property.
s
The proposed "poopex ooper• law mirrors language in the current
park ordinance [Chap. VI, Art. 12, Sec.4(3)] and does not require
that a person have any particular implement to remove the feces.
It does provide a0n �exception for certain handicapped individuals.
