During Monday’s Levelland City Council meeting, the group approved the second reading of an ordinance related to the rules and regulations of the City parks system.
Parks Director Dustin Reichelt presented Ordinance 1094 amending rules for the City of Levelland RV Park.
Reichelt explained that Staff had been working on updating park ordinances to reflect the current rules of the parks. It was also noted that the rules have been in place but are being approved in ordinance form to allow for proper enforcement.
Ordinance 1094 amends article 12.211 entitled “camping” to amend and clarify what acts are prohibited or otherwise regulated in the city parks and lake areas.
All RV spaces are available on a first-come basis, but only one space is available for use for each RV.
RV spaces are provided free of charge for up to three days. Reservations are not accepted and “saving” of spaces is not permitted.
Only one free stay per 30 days is permitted. This will help ensure that space is available as necessary for other travelers.
Water and electric hookups are provided free of charge at each RV space.
Only household pets overnighting in the RV are permitted. Owners are required to clean up after their pets and are responsible for any damage caused by such pets.
A free sewage dump station is provided on site for RV campers entering or leaving the park. RV campers cannot be parked at the dump station and there can be no direct hookup to the dump station from a parked RV camper.
Trash containers and dumpsters are provided for convenience. RV tenants are required to use trash containers and dumpsters and otherwise keep area clean and sanitary.
When space is available RV campers may be permitted to stay up to an additional seven days for a maximum of 10 days. To do so an RV camper must apply for and receive a permit on or before the third day and pre-pay a fee of $25 for each additional day. Permits may be obtained, and the fee paid at City Hall.
No EV charging allowed in RV Park.
No tent camping or sleeping in vehicles outside of the RV.
No open campfires allowed. Manufactured outdoor cooking/ charcoal grills are permitted.
No clotheslines; freezers/ refrigerators; fencing; barriers or pallets; dog kennels, pens or dog runs allowed outside of an RV.
No mats, rugs, etc., allowed on the grass.
All water hoses/sewer lines must be free from leaks.
Solicitation or signs for the sale of products/services is prohibited.
During the approval of the time, Reichelt requested the 30 days be increased to 45 days to which the Council agreed.
