Operative words
(from Metro's release of the same day, Ex. MET-SDF-024:) Mayor Greg Fischer today extended to May 10 the state of emergency he enacted to help stop the COVID-19 outbreak in Louisville. The Mayor's original executive order, signed March 13, cancelled all Metro hosted or sponsored events. The new order extends that into early May and includes new restrictions, including the closure of playgrounds, ballfields, and soccer fields in the city's 120 parks.... As part of the extended state of emergency order, Mayor Fischer empowered Louisville Metro Government agencies to assign duties to unionized employees outside their normal areas of work or departments
Enforcement
closure of park amenities; 'Residents who see businesses defying the order to close or curtail their activities can report those violations' (Metro311)
