Discussion of Policing Unruly Gatherings
Body
Council Goals or Statutory Requirements:
• Responsiveness to Residents
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Gather input and discussion on proposed ordinance for unruly gatherings.
Background
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The adoption of an unruly gathering ordinance could assist in solving this quality of life issue by its three-pronged approach. A proposed ordinance could pursue criminal penalties, civil fines and administrative fees against unruly gathering participants and owners of problem properties.
When this item was presented in October 2017, the Council was supportive of the concept and asked questions. This presentation answers the questions provided by the Council in October 2017.
After the October 2017 meeting, staff posted the new fee associated with the unruly gathering ordinance for 60 days, per state statute.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Any budgetary impact could be covered by the current budget in the police department.
