DISCUSSION:

For the last two river seasons the City of New Braunfels has closed the City Tube Chute Park at 7pm on summer weekends. This change was put into place to address concerning behavior and trends identified by the New Braunfels Police Department.

 

The City Tube Chute Park is operated by City staff starting the first weekend in May through Labor Day. The proposal is to add permanent weekend hours for the City Tube Chute Park to close at 7pm during the peak season, starting Memorial Day weekend, with the inclusion of Independence Day. Memorial Day and Labor Day are not included due to the historically low visitation numbers on those Mondays. The goal for this change is to have the hours set in the code of ordinances to alleviate confusion.

 

March- Take results and proposed ordinance change to City Council for consideration.
