RECOMMENDATION:
Introduce ordinance regulating open containers of alcohol within the
unincorporated area of the County, waive reading, and fix date for
adoption.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No significant financial impact is anticipated. The ability to issue
citations that would be authorized by the proposed Order may result in .5
increase in revenue which is not possible to estimate at this time.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
During the past few years, there has developed a popular ritual of
individuals purchasing alcoholic beverages at retail establishments and
then socializing in the parking lot while consuming those beverages. . This
conduct has generated numerous complaints from businesses and patrons
alike.
In 1983, the State legislature enacted Penal Code Section 647e which allows
cities and counties to adopt ordinances against allowing individuals
possessing open receptacles of alcoholic beverages in, about, or on the
parking lot adjacent to a retail package off-sale alcoholic beverage
licensee. The proposed ordinance provides the Sheriff the statutory tool
, necessary- to address this problem.
