Sec. 5-21.05. Loud parties or assemblages: Enforcement costs and response fees.
   When any loud or unruly assemblage occurs and the City's law enforcement agency is required to respond to the scene in response to citizen complaints, and the senior peace officer at the scene determines that there is a threat to, or a possible violation of this chapter then that senior peace officer shall notify the owner of the property and/or the person in charge of the property where the assemblage exists, and/or the person responsible for said assemblage, that such person or persons, or in the case of a minor, the parents and/or guardians of such minor, shall be held personally liable for the cost of providing additional law enforcement personnel over and above the normal services provided by the law enforcement agency in initial response to such assemblages. At that time, such person or persons shall be given a first warning, in the form of notification by the senior peace officer, that the first police response shall be deemed to be the normal police services provided. The police personnel necessarily utilized within twenty-four (24) hours after such first warning to control the threat to the public peace, health, safety or general welfare shall be deemed to be on a special security assignment over and above the normal services provided. The owner of the property and/or the person in charge of the property where such assemblage occurs, and/or the person responsible for such assemblage, shall be personally responsible for the cost of such subsequent call back or security assignment in an amount determined upon a cost accounting basis by the City. The cost of such special security assignment shall include damage to City property and/or injuries to City personnel. The fee charged will not be in excess of the civil fine or penalty as set forth in the City's Master Fee Resolution for a single incident. The City reserves its legal options to elect any other legal remedies.
