Sexton stated that years <br />ago beer, wine etc. were not permitted in this park, and POlicing <br />')roblems wel-e negligible; since Cities of St. Paul and ~1inneapolls <br />have prohibited all alcoholic beverages in parks within the Cii'ies, <br />problems in this park and other Ramsey County suburban parks have <br />increased Ithere alcoholic beverages are permiTted; main troubles <br />seem to be with large beer drinking groups - as soon as one trouble- <br />Some group is removed from the park, another moves in; use of park <br />for fami IV picnics has diminished noticeably in recent years, which <br />he attributes to The frequency of unruly drinking groups. <br /> <br />.In di~cussion, Council expreSsed concern re the illegal and uncontrolled <br />behaVior at Tony Schmidt Park; questioned whether trouble is attrib- <br />utable to drinking or unlawful activity - if other laws are not <br />obeyed, law prohibiting liquor would probably also not .be obeyed. <br />Sex:on and LaValle felt that enforcement of a non-alcuholic beverage <br />ordInance would not be as difficult as enforcement of other behavior <br />violations - difficult to determine actual vandalism violators in a <br />large group etc. <br /> <br />-1- <br />
