(Code 1987)

The governing body is authorized to prepare and adopt suitable rules and regulations governing the use of all public grounds of the city, as defined herein, and the facilities thereon, which shall be open and available to the general public, except as may otherwise be provided. Such rules and regulations shall fix the conditions under which said grounds and facilities may be used and the charges (where charges are authorized) to be paid to the city for such purposes. No exclusive right or privilege may be granted permanently to any individual, society or organization of any kind, except that such persons or groups may make reservations for the exclusive use of such grounds and facilities for temporary periods only. The governing body may, in accordance with sound public policy, grant permission for the grounds or facilities for such purposes as may not be inconsistent with the use for which grounds or facilities were acquired and made available for public use by the city.
