RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROVING THE POSTING OF SIGNS PROHIBITING
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONSUMPTION AT RIENSTRA SPORT
FIELDS
WHEREAS, the Parks and Recreation Department has received several complaints from
league officers this past season from the South Bay Little League and Pony South League
regarding problems created by excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages by adults; and
WHEREAS, Council recently enacted a Park Rule Ordinance which allows, by simple
resolution, a prohibition of alcohol consumption at parks experiencing alcohol-related
problems; and
WHEREAS, staff is requesting a prohibition for Rienstra Park to curb a growing problem
for the following reasons:
1. The primary activity at this park should be youth sports activities, however,
some adult supporters attend these games and drink excessively.
2. The City does not support this type of behavior, as it sets a bad example for
youth, and adversely affects families and the community in general.
3. Little League and Pony League National Organization's have a prohibition of
alcohol beverage in or around fields. Since these fields are on public parklands,
the leagues cannot enforce this prohibition. If the problem persists, leagues
could get sanctioned by the National Organization and have their charter
voided.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby approve the posting of signs prohibiting alcoholic beverage consumption at Rienstra
Sport Fields. 2!1~o f_~~b~
