(A) In an emergency, or when the City Manager, Chief of Police or the Director of Parks, Leisure and Community Services (or a duly approved representative of any such official) has determined that the public interest or public health, or public morals, or public safety demands such action, any park, square, avenue, grounds or recreation center or any part or portion thereof, may be closed to the public, and all persons may be banned therefor until such emergency or other reason upon which such determination of the City Manager, Chief of Police, or the Director of Parks, Leisure and Community Services, is based has ceased, whereafter the park, square, avenue, grounds or recreation center or part or portion thereof so closed shall again be reopened to the public.
(B) The Director may establish temporary rules and regulations from time to time as necessary for the proper administration and regulation of conduct in the city's park and recreation areas. Such temporary regulations shall be made when emergencies or other circumstances require immediate action. Any such temporary rules or regulations shall be posted in or near the entranceway in each park or recreation area and all persons using the facilities shall comply therewith. Such temporary rules shall be referred to the City Council at the earliest opportunity and may become permanent if confirmed by the City Council.
