§ 22-31. Enforcement of regulations.

(a)

The director may promulgate rules and regulations for parks not inconsistent with this article, which rules shall take effect upon the day following a regular meeting of the board at which the rules and regulations are included in any appropriate place on the board's agenda, including but not limited to the consent agenda or correspondence to note. Once effective, the director may post a summary of applicable rules in any park on such signage as may be deemed necessary for the identification, operation or protection of public service structures and facilities or to the public safety or welfare, including but not limited to notice to persons that violation of rules may result in expulsion from facilities pursuant hereto.

(b)

This article shall be enforced by all law enforcement officers and code enforcement officers. All parks department employees are hereby authorized to enforce rules and regulations promulgated hereunder in any appropriate manner, including notification to violators and requests for law enforcement or code enforcement assistance in enforcement.

(c)

Any violation of the provisions of this article, or any violation of any rules and regulations set forth by the department pursuant to this division, in addition to any penalties otherwise specified in this article or elsewhere in the code, shall authorize any park supervisor to order the removal of the violator from the park area, to be effectuated by the park supervisor requesting the violator to remove himself from the park. Failure of any person violating the provisions of this division and/or the rules of the department, to remove himself from the park after direction and request has been made by a park supervisor, shall constitute a trespass and authorization for law enforcement intervention.
