This chapter is adopted pursuant to the city's police powers for the purpose of prohibiting and deterring unruly events that constitute a public nuisance and, accordingly, threaten public health, safety, and welfare. Persons who actively or passively aid, allow, or tolerate such nuisances will be held strictly liable for the city's abatement costs. It is in the public interest to require persons responsible for such nuisances to pay the costs of special public services rather than to burden the general public.
