CITY ATTORNEY'S MATTERS
John Hayes cited a decision by the court that affirmed the right of
municipalities to pass content neutral ordinances which limit locations
for first amendment facilities in adult theaters, adult entertainment
facili ti es, etc
He also addressed a request from the Probation Dept that an Ordinance
be brought in to amend all our penalty provisions in all our Ordinances
with exception of the traffic code to make penalties six months in jail
instead of 90 days in jail The reason is you can only extend probation
the same length as maximum sentence Probation Dept feels 6 months is
more appropriate probation time Consensus was 6-1 to bring in
Ordinance
He further addressed 38th & Parfet property, which Council had asked
Open Space to get an appraisal on to purchase property as a park
Because a rezoning application had been filed on property, resolution on
Open Space Agenda Hearing, March 17 (today) would be withdrawn because
it is the County's policy not to acquire any property that is the
subject of a rezoning This places the City in a Catch 22 position
Will bring further information in to Council when he receives a letter
from Assistant County Attorney
He requested an Executive Session under 5 7 b 1 A of the Charter to
discuss litigation
