(Ord. 5108 § 1, 1996)
The facilities designated in sections 9.20.165 and 9.20.170 are designed for particular uses and intended for the benefit and use of the general public in accordance with that design. To use these facilities for other than their intended and designed use and purpose interferes with and prevents the use of the facilities by the general public for the purpose for which they are designed and intended. Inconsistent uses also cause more rapid deterioration of the facilities than would otherwise be experienced if they were used for the purpose for which they were designed and intended. Inconsistent uses require greater maintenance in terms of time, labor and materials. The greater deterioration and maintenance results in a greater expenditure of taxpayer funds and an added drain on public resources. Furthermore, preventing others from using public facilities for the purpose for which they were designed and intended is contrary to the public health, benefit and welfare and deters others from using the facilities for the purpose for which the facilities were designed and are intended. The purpose of this section is to have the use of the public facilities designated in this section consistent with their design and intended purpose and to assure the more efficient and cost effective use of limited tax resources.
(Ord. 5237 § 7, 1999; Ord. 5266 § 1, 2000)
