The City Council finds that parties or gatherings at private residences as well as gatherings at bars, restaurants and other commercial establishments open to the public within the city may, on occasion, disturb the public peace, safety and welfare thereby requiring law enforcement services over and above those normally provided. It is in the best interests of the public safety, welfare, and convenience of the city as well as in fairness to its citizens that the city require those persons utilizing or requiring law enforcement services beyond those provided the public at large to defray the city's expense for providing the same.
