It is the purpose of these regulations to aid in the reduction of the crimes and reported incidents involving alcohol and other intoxicating substances including, but not limited to, public intoxication, disturbances, fights, thefts, vandalism, and driving under the influence. Because alcohol and other intoxicating substances cause physical impairments and decrease the ability of persons to make sound decisions, many of these incidents would not occur independent of the presence of alcohol and intoxicating substances. The city desires to restrict the public consumption of alcohol and intoxicating substances where state law and current city regulations are silent, in furtherance of the goal of creating a safer community.
