Park Group Presentations Policy
A local nonprofit group has asked for permission to do some entertainment (puppet shows have
been proposed) for kids in Washington Park. The group would like permission to hand out
information about its mission and its activities. This group understands that fundraising is not
allowed.
I have purposely been a bit vague because I believe that it is important to look at the policy
implications across the board, rather than focus on the specific group. The City Attorney advises
me that any policy of this type must apply across the board to all types of groups and agencies.
Randy and I have no objection to this kind of activity.
The Commission should take action to recommend a policy on groups making presentations in
City parks.

department has included fencing
and security lighting in the plans
for the park and added that the
YMCA staff members will stay past
closing time to ensure that the park
is empty and secure.
Playle noted that evening hours of
operation should be considered
since the YMCA and city staffs have
decided to keep the park closed dur-
ing school hours.
Although originally planned for
8,000 square feet, the current plans
proposed by the Parks and
Recreation Department call for the
facility to be between 10,000 and
15,000 square feet — about the size
of two tennis courts.
The council requested that the
park's Phase I plans be -altered to
include permanent restroom facili-
ties. The current plan only calls for
a temporary port -a -potty housed in
a "rustic building."
According to Mike Wride, recre-
ation services manager for Millbrae,
the YMCA has set aside a certain
amount of money to fund the con-
struction, and anything more
would need to be raised. He said
that the committee will finalize
plans for the park and would then
evaluate. the costs involved with
adding the restrooms. At the meet-
ing, McElroy said that preliminary
cost studies for a permanent
restroom facility were upwards of
$100,000.
According to a timeline submitted
by the steering committee. the final
plans and environmental report
will be presented to the City
Council and Planning Commission
in June, and by December the YMCA
will release the construction plans
and specifications for the bidding
process. Ground breaking for the
park should happen in mid-

According to McElroy, the park's

Subject: New City Policy
At last night's Park & Recreation Commission meeting, the commissioners were asked to establish a
policy regarding the distribution of information in the City's parks and playgrounds.
Stating their wish to keep the parks and playground areas as places of solitude, the commissioners
voted that non-profit groups may not conduct performances for public display (other than City -
sponsored activities), distribute information and pamphlets, or verbally solicit individuals in any
fashion.
This includes instances such as:
• AYSO may not pass out flyers stating registration dates
• The Mother's Club cannot approach individuals asking them to join their organization
• Individuals backing candidates for public office or a certain proposition may not
hand out balloons.
If you have any questions regarding this policy, please let me know.
