[ X ] Not Required Summary Explanation/Background: This ordinance is being brought forward to codify standards of conduct and make quality of life changes to the section governing Town Parks as well as make minor improvements to the section governing special event permits. Under the previous version of Division 1, this ordinance was primarily concerned with Town Parks only. The new version broadens the scope of the language to include all Town properties and establish standards of conduct, fire prevention standards, vehicular use standards, and law enforcement procedures for those facilities. This ordinance was crafted based on recommended language from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and was developed in close conjunction with PBSO and the Special Events Department. It provides protections against vandalism, loitering, camping, reckless use of flammable materials, and the use of drones to ensure a high quality and peaceable experience for all park and public facility users in accordance with state law. It also carves out exemptions for special event permits, both public and private, to allow for parks and public facilities to serve as recreational venues subject to proper procedures. Accordingly, this ordinance makes several minor updates to Division 2 necessitated by the updates to Division 1, refining terminology and procedures. Recommended Motion: I MOVE TO APPROVE ORDINANCE NO. __- 2024 on first reading.  Exhibit D Department of Public Works Proposed Fountain substitution for Kelsey Park East  Four Lady’s Fountain • We have received a restoration quote from Cast Stone International for $14,449.00  Pina Cascada Fountain • Price: $2,144.00 • 56″ tall fountain in 52″ wide fountain basin shown in Relic Lava.  Pina Cascada Fountain • Price: $4,400.00 • 81″ tall fountain in 72″ wide fountain classical four- tier fountain.  Plumbed Large Lion Fountain • Price: $7,621.99 • Dimensions: 97" H x 72" W • Weight: 3,298 lbs. • Hand-crafted in the USA by skilled artisans • Shown in the Sienna finish • Made of cast stone • 40 different finishes available • Plumbed for Pond, does not include pond • Requires a minimum 10-foot custom built pond • Requires minimum 1-quarter horsepower exterior pool-type pump and filtration system  Cavalli Tiered Outdoor Fountain • Price: $8,499.00 • Dimension: 86"H x 99½"W • Weight: 2067 lbs. • Shown in Vintage Stone • Available in 40 different colors • Cast Stone is built to last • Recirculating pump included • Lighting is not included, but is available  Royal Four –Tier Water Fountain • Price: $12,749.00 • 84" H X 48" DIAM. • Finish: Italian Sandstone Buff  Fine’s Gallery Custom Marble • Price: $25,000.00 • A mixture of Copper Tone Bronze with Patina highlighting throughout accentuates the beauty of fine detail of this delightful three-tier Bronze Pedestal Fountain. • Dimensions: H:96in W:48in D:48in Discussion/Questions
