The purpose of the following provisions of this section is to establish
that the Borough may act to temporarily close or limit the use of
any public recreation or other public area whenever, in the judgment
of the appropriate enforcing authority, such action is deemed necessary
or desirable for the protection of the health or safety related to
the use of such facilities and generally protects the public health,
safety and welfare; and to create procedures and authorize rules and
regulations thereunder for the temporary closing of parks and recreational
facilities in the event of imminent lightning risks.
b.
The Borough may act to temporarily close or limit the use of any
public recreation or other public area whenever, in the judgment of
the appropriate enforcing authority, as defined in subsection 9-7.2
the Code of the Borough of Oakland, such action is deemed necessary
or desirable for the protection of the health or safety of those entitled
to use of such facilities.
[Ord. No. 15-Code-720 § 8]

Shall mean the activation of the lightning safety system
warning siren or strobe lights or the happening of any event which
a reasonable person would perceive to be a risk to health and safety
due to lightning.
Shall mean an automatic system that enables itself upon the
detection of weather threats in the area.
[Ord. No. 15-Code-720 § 8]

warning system provides the all-clear sound; and
b.
All persons within the park or recreational facility when the lightning
risk warning occurs shall immediately exit the park or recreational
facility and not return until the lightning warning system provides
the all-clear sound; and
c.
If a park or recreational facility is closed, as provided in paragraph

[Ord. No. 15-Code-720 § 8]

the Borough of Oakland Lightning Safety Policy as set forth in this
section.
b.
Each umpire, coach, coordinator or adult in charge of an organized
activity shall be responsible to ensure that his or her group follows
the Lightning Safety Policy. Disregarding the policy subjects the

and suspension of responsibility regarding all Oakland recreation
activities, and privileges including using the field and parks for
organized activity.
[Ord. No. 15-Code-720 § 8]
Members of the public using the parks and fields on an individual,
unorganized basis are individually subject to the Borough of Oakland
Lightning Safety Policy.

Once the lightning safety system has been activated, any officer
of the Borough of Oakland, including the Police Department, or designated
agents of the Recreation Commission shall be authorized to prohibit
any actions or conduct which they may consider to be dangerous or
improper or any acts or actions in violations of the rules and regulations
herein provided and shall have the power of expulsion.
[Ord. No. 15-Code-720 § 8]
a.
If this section of the Code of the Borough of Oakland provides for
licensing or permitting of the violator, the Borough reserves the
right to revoke such permit or license, if the violator does not abide
by the Lightning Safety Policy.
