RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The current Code provisions pertaining to recreation areas are specifically applicable to City parks and recreation areas located inside the City limits. Incorporating the Traffic Code by reference into the recreation areas provisions of the Code will make the Traffic Code applicable to parks and recreation areas outside of the City limits in the same way that other provisions of the Code, including those dealing with animal control, fire prevention and miscellaneous offenses, are already incorporated in the recreation area provisions. As a result, special officers, commissioned by the City of Fort Collins Police Department, will be able to ticket individual vehicles whose drivers fail to purchase day use parking passes as required, using the existing parking provisions of the Traffic Code. Currently the City Traffic Code is not specifically enforceable outside of the City limits. Chapter 23 of the Code also contains a typographical error that will be corrected by this Ordinance. This Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 16, 2002.
