A. The City has many parks, recreation areas, and playing fields which are for the use and

outweighed by the social, economic and political reasons not to build such fences.

maintaining fences between parks,recreation areas,and playing fields and adjoining private
property. The Council wishes now to formally recognize this policy in writing.
