Commission adopts suspension and expulsion policy for community facilities, sets appeal path to commission
Summary
The commission approved a suspension and expulsion policy that implements the previously adopted code of conduct, clarifies definitions of misconduct, sets the director as initial decision maker, and allows patrons to appeal to the Parks Commission at the next available public meeting.
The Parks and Recreation Commission voted May 18 to adopt a suspension and expulsion policy for city community center facilities that defines inappropriate behavior, outlines suspension lengths and establishes an appeals process.
Staff explained the policy is a follow‑on to the city’s code of conduct and gives department staff authority to expel a patron for specified conduct. The policy names the director as the official who issues determinations on appeals from facility managers; patrons may then appeal that decision to the Parks Commission at the next available public meeting.
Commissioners moved, seconded and adopted the policy in a roll‑call vote. The policy will be agendized for public appeals as needed.
What happens next: staff will finalize the policy documentation and post procedures at facility entrances; appeals will be scheduled at the next available commission meeting when requested.
