Containers
SUBMITTED BY: City Attorn
(4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
This amendment would clarify that public rights-of -way and semi-public parking
lots need not be posted for the prohibition on open alcohol beverage
containers to apply.
RECOMMENDATION: Place the Ordinance on its First Reading
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
Shortly after we amended the City Code to prohibit open alcoholic beverage
containers along public rights-of-way and in public or semi-public parking
ots, the question arose as to whether these areas must be posted in order for
e prohibition to apply. The confusion stemmed from the title to Section
.15.010 in the Code which is "Open Alcoholic Beverage Containers Prohibited
on Posted Premises". Enforcement officers were advised that the premises need
not be posted but in recognition of the confusion which this title causes, we
agreed that it should be deleted. The deletion makes no substantive change in
the law. 'Those provisions which formerly required posting will continue to
require posting. The new provisions which were not intended to require
posting, will not.
FISCAL IMPACT: N/A
