The solicitation policy being incorporated into the ordinance does not amend the current policy. <br /> • SKATEBOARDING AND RELATED ACTIVITIES <br /> Safety of clients coming to and from County facilities is the central issue surrounding Article IV. There <br /> is presently no prohibition of skateboards or similar activities around County facilities. This section of the <br /> ordinance would allow the County Manager, in consultation with departments operating in the facility, to <br /> designate appropriate areas for this activity. <br /> • PARKING <br /> The issue to specifically be addressed in Article V is the removal of abandoned vehicles from County <br /> property and the process by which owner notification and vehicle disposal is made. There is presently no policy <br /> which addresses this matter. <br />
