Title

Consider an ordinance readopting Chapter 24, Article II, Code of Ordinances (2010 Edition), regarding youth curfew regulations.  (Second Reading)

 

Body

State law requires a review of the juvenile curfew ordinance's effectiveness every three years. The existing ordinance affects youths under 17 by providing a daytime curfew, 9 a.m. to 2:30 pm, on school days and a nighttime curfew on both weekdays, 12:01 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., and weekends, 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.

 

In 2010 and 2013, City Council reauthorized this ordinance. As in previous reauthorizations, the Police Department has completed a review of its use of the ordinance during the prior several years.

 

Recommended Action

Staff recommends approval.
