The Common Council met 05/21/2025. Although they spent the bulk of the meeting discussing the request to take $107,000 left over from the 2024 budget and spend it on hiring a climate action consultant, they did separate out one additional action item which was the request to approve changes to park rules pertaining to alcoholic beverages within the park.

I’ve prepared a transcript of the discussion such as it was:
The updated park rules prohibit alcoholic beverages within 20 feet of any pavilion or playground; however, it was specifically highlighted in the Council meeting that that 20 foot pavilion restriction *does not apply* for people who are renting a pavilion or have a special event permit. When a pavilion is rented or when a permitted special event is taking place, alcoholic beverages are permitted in the pavilion.
The Common Council approved the item by a vote of 14-0.
