SUBJECT:

title

Amendment of Section 21-64 of the Code of Ordinances

end

 

BACKGROUND:

Section 21-64 restricts lewd or indecent conduct or articles. It primarily addresses appearing in a public place in a state of nudity.  However, it also proscribes appearing in “dress not becoming to his or her sex.”  This Ordinance originally appeared in the Code of Ordinances in 1939; society has since grown and evolved, and the Code of Ordinances should reflect that.  The proposed amendment deletes the above quoted language.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

recommendation

It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council approve the proposed amendment to the Code of Ordinances.
