This proposed amendment to Chapter 5 will create a new Article 21 pertaining to Feeding Operations on park property. The amendment requires operators to obtain an operational license, at no fee, from the City specific to feeding operations on park property. The goal of regulating the feeding operations is not to dissuade the act but to provide accountability for the operators and limit issues of litter and vandalism.
The penalty for the first violation is probation with the inability to obtain an operational license for a feeding operation for one year. There will continue to be no requirement for such an operational license on feeding operations conducted indoors or on private property.
