It is unlawful to charge admission to any party conducted in
a residential zone.
(Ord. 773 § 1, 1982)
As used in this chapter:
means a group of persons meeting together for social, recreational
or amusement purposes.
means residential zones as defined in Title 18 of this code.
means the demand and receipt of a tangible benefit, monetary
or otherwise, which is a motivating influence for admission to the
party. The customary courtesies and clearly noncommercial activity

(Ord. 773 § 1, 1982)
No person shall make, cause or suffer, or permit to be made
upon any premises owned, occupied or controlled by him any unnecessary
noises or sounds which are physically annoying to persons of ordinary
sensitiveness or which are so harsh or so prolonged or unnatural or
unusual in their use, time or place as to occasion physical discomfort
to the inhabitants of any neighborhood.
When any loud or unruly assemblage occurs or is held, and the
city's law enforcement agency is required to respond to the scene
in response to citizen complaints, and the senior peace officer at
the scene determines that there is a threat to the public peace, health,
safety or general welfare, then that senior peace officer shall notify
the owner of the property and/or the person in charge of the property
where the assemblage exists, and/or the person responsible for said
assemblage, that such person or persons, or in the case of a minor,
the parents and/or guardians of such minor, shall be held personally
liable for the cost of providing additional law enforcement personnel
on special security assignment over and above the normal services
provided by the law enforcement agency in response to such assemblage.
Such person or persons shall be given a warning in the form of notification
by the senior peace officer that the cost of any response by the sheriff's
department totaling two or more responses within twenty-four hours
at the same location or totaling four or more incidents within twelve
months to the same location will be charged to such person. Such notice
may include a written notice, receipt of which is signed by the owner,
responsible person or person in charge. The police personnel necessarily
utilized in responding to two or more responses in 24 hours or four
or more incidents within any twelve-month period at the same location
to control the threat to the public peace, health, safety or general
welfare shall be deemed to be on special security assignment over
and above the normal services provided and the owner of the property
and/or the person in charge of the property where such assemblage
occurs, and/or the person responsible for such assemblage, shall be
personally responsible for the cost of such special security assignment
in an amount determined upon a cost accounting basis by the city.
The cost of such special security assignment shall include damage
to city/county property and/or injuries to city/county personnel.
A fee charged will not be in excess of three thousand dollars for
a single occurrence. The city reserves its legal options to elect
any other legal remedies to collect said costs or damage. For purposes
of this section an incident means any response by the sheriff's department
to a loud or unruly assemblage which occurs more than twenty-four
hours apart from each other. Multiple responses which occur within
twenty-four hours of the first response shall be considered as one
incident.
