Ordinance amending Title 8, entitled "Police Regulations," Chapter 5,
entitled "Miscellaneous Offenses," to amend the ordinance so that it
complies with a recent federal court decision. (Second Consideration)
Comment On September 26, 2019 a federal judge in the Southern District of lorwa determined
Mat Iowa Code Section 723.4(2) was unconstitutionally vague because it did not contain a
required intent component or provide adequate notice of what conduct is prohibited. Because two
subsections of the Cilys disorderly conduct ordinance and its disorderly house ordinance were
drafted in a manner that closely fdbwed section 723.4(2), we must amend the City Code to
comply with the reoentfederal decision. Staff requests expedited action.

Late Addition(s):
14.a
Deer management/firearms in parks - Ordinance amending Title 10,
entitled "Public Ways and Property," Chapter 9, entitled "Parks and
Recreation Regulations," to allow persons to carry firearms in parks
for the purpose of killing deer pursuant to a deer management plan.
Comment: This ordinance allows firearms in parks for the purpose of killing deer
pursuant to a deer management plan. In 1998, the City amended Section 8-7-1
of the City Code to allow for the discharge of firearms within City limits for the
purpose of killing deer pursuant to a deer management plan. However, a
separate provision (Section 10-9-2C) prohibiting persons from carrying firearms
into any park was not similarly amended. When the City engaged in
sharpshooting from approximately 1999 to 2009, the sharpshooting did not occur
in any City park. It is the assessment of White Buffalo, Inc. (the City's
sharpshooting contractor), based on the deer population and availability of land,
that it will be necessary to shoot in Hickory Hill Park, and perhaps other parks.
The Friends of Hickory Hill Park have been consulted and do not object to
sharpshooting in the park. The City will be providing public notification and
signage of the park's temporary closure from 3:00 pm to dawn from Dec. 1 to
Dec. 22 (and again in late winter during the second round of sharpshooting).
Under Section 10-9-21, Hickory Hill Park is closed from dusk to dawn, and
therefore the closure due to sharpshooting will be approximately 2 additional
hours.
