DATE May 28, 1996
COUNCIL ACTION FORM
SUBJECT: Ordinance to Prohibit Touching Between Nude or Nearly Nude Performers
and Customers
BACKGROUND:
It has become common practice for nude or nearly nude performers (dancers) to mingle
with the customers and initiate physical contact. This is occurring both in the non-liquor-
licensed adult entertainment businesses as well as within some liquor-licensed
establishments. The Police Department believes this physical contact is a potential public
health issue and directly correlated to criminal activity, such as assaults and prostitution.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to prohibit touching between nude or
nearly nude performers (dancers) and customers.
2. Take no action.
MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION:
It is the recommendation of the City Manager that the City Council adopt Alternative #1
and direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to prohibit touching between nude
or nearly nude performers and customers.
COUNCIL ACTION:
