4. NEW BUSINESS
A. REQUEST FROM DANA CHURCHILL FOR AUTHORIZATION TO ALLOW A
SIGN TO BE PLACED IN TEMPLE CITY PARK DURING THE FALUN
GONG MEDITATION T IMES
The Temple City Municipa l Code prohibits signs in the City's parks without
approval from the Parks and Recreation Comm ission , to further any
charitable or worthy cause. The Commission considered a request from Mr.
Dana Churchill , on behalf of a Falun Gong meditation group , to allow
placement of a sign in Temple City Park whenever the group meets. Staff
recommended denial since the request was for an ongoing period of time,
instead of a specific time frame (i.e. two weeks), and the information on the
sign , as presented by the meditation group, could be considered political in
nature and could be controversial. The Commission denied the request.

RESERVED USE OF THE SOFTBALL FIELD AT LIVE OAK PARK FOR
