MOTIONS RE. SEAL BEACH SPOILED DOGS SOCIETY —
ZOETER FIELD USE.....
what is proposed is a joint use of the Zoeter facility.....
do not have apprehension to doing this for a trial
period.....
possibly with a caveat that it be limited to a certain
number of days..... thereafter that it be sent to the Parks
and Recreation Commission for review .... at which time they
could make recommendations as to how the permit could be
modified or revoke the permit for use, yet also be in
accordance with the rest of the provisions of the Municipal
Code to require indemnification, repair of the facility, a
limit of the number of canine athletes allowed on the field
at one time .... that could be in the form of a motion.
there is no jurisdiction to approve this at this
meeting ... the law says no dogs except in two parks ... the
issue is does the Council want to change the law ... the
Council must approve the decision of the City Manager
because he has said he can not change the law... if the
desire is to change it then it needs to be sent back to the
Parks and Recreation Commission.... Council can direct the
City Manager and City Attorney to come back with an
ordinance but only after it has gone before the Parks and
Recreation Commission..
Larson moved a substitute motion that this matter be
referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission and that
the decision of the City Manager be approved... Yost
seconded.
The Council would then be upholding the decision of the
City Manager for the time being until the Parks and
Recreation Commission can make a recommendation to change
the law or not change the law ..... the use would be during
hours that Zoeter is not in use .... from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00
a.m.
There is still a question of setting precedent with an
organization such as this....
CA: It would depend on the nature of the ordinance... if
the Parks and Recreation Commission feels this would be a
good idea, and after public input, that the Code should be
changed at that point an ordinance could be fine tuned for
exact wording.....
