A. The

land, unless specifically approved and authorized by the Board of
Aldermen:

[Ord. No. 3975, 5-6-2019]
[Ord. No. 3266 §2, 4-21-2014; Ord. No. 3975, 5-6-2019]
Possession and consumption of alcohol is permitted in parks
maintained by the City of Lake Saint Louis Parks and Recreation Department
for persons ages twenty-one (21) and over. During City-sponsored youth
athletic games possession and consumption of alcohol is not permitted,
unless purchased in the park from a licensed vendor. Sales or distribution
of alcohol is not permitted in parks without authorization from the
Lake Saint Louis City Administrator. The sale or distribution of alcohol
at a public event will require a liquor license from Lake Saint Louis,
St. Charles County and the State of Missouri. Use of an outside vendor
for public or private events will require an acceptable certificate
of insurance naming the City of Lake Saint Louis as an additional
insured for one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. Therefore,
notification of the intent to sell or distribute alcohol must be provided
to the Parks and Recreation Department forty-five (45) days prior
to the event.
[CC 1988 §30.070]
It is hereby determined that broken glass is a public hazard
to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of Lake Saint Louis.
[CC 1988 §30.080]
In an effort to reduce the City's liability exposure, the Board
of Aldermen hereby prohibit the possession or use of any type glass
beverage container in or on any City-owned park land used by the general
public.
[CC 1988 §30.090]
Any person or firm or corporation or entity who violates any provision of this Chapter or collects or assists in collecting any fee or charge not authorized by this Chapter or authorized by other lawful ordinance or resolution or who violates the terms and conditions imposed in any special authorization granted under Section
240.040 shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction therefor shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each offense. Further, any individual who is found guilty may be imprisoned for a period of not exceeding ninety (90) days in addition to, or in lieu of, any such fine. A separate offense shall be deemed to be committed on each day during which a violation occurs or continues.
[CC 1988 §30.100]
It shall be unlawful for any person to enter or be upon the
premises of any City park between sunset and sunrise. Persons using
lighted playing fields during hours that have been approved by the
City Administrator or his/her designee shall be exempt from the sunset
to sunrise restrictions.
[CC 1988 §30.110]
The City Administrator or his/her designated agent shall be
empowered to extend the hours of lawful park usage on a temporary
basis when it appears that such temporary extension is necessary to
promote the recreational interest of the City and its inhabitants,
and when it further appears that such temporary extension will not
impair the spirit and purpose of this Chapter.
