Surveillance cameras are used to monitor Chattanooga’s Coolidge Park, and provide law enforcement the ability to record possible illegal activity.The Chattanooga City Council approved 7-2 tonight an ordinance to ban minors from Coolidge Park without some type of adult supervision from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Councilmen Russell Gilbert and Andraé McGary voted against the ordinance.
The council approved the ordinance last week on first reading. A newly drafted ordinance was presented today during the Legal and Legislative Committee meeting that changed the hours to 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Another change included the stipulation that minors at the park during those hours would need to be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or an adult 21 and over.
The first draft just said minors would need to be accompanied by an adult.
