TO: Dennis Ballantine, Chief of Police
FROM: Judy K. Parks, Assistant City Attorneye�
DATE: January 15, 2001
SUBJECT: Nuisance Party Ordinance - Revision to Include Possession
Attached please find a proposed revision of§17.30(1),the nuisance party definition,to specifically
include underage or unlawful possession as one of the conditions which may be a basis for a
nuisance party. Please review this to see if that is what your officers use as a basis to investigate
nuisance parties.
If this works for you, would you please take whatever steps are needed to get it on an upcoming
Council agenda? I have included a copy of the District Associate Court ruling that led to the need
for this, if you want to use it to explain to Council why we're doing this.
