RELATING TO BATHING AND/
J' �l OR SWINNING IN PARKS
ORD. NCS. 1368 INTRO.
A proposed amendM,:!nt to Chapter 12.12 of the
Municipal Code relating to bathing and/or
swimni-ng in parks was presented by the City
Manager. City Manager Peterson explained that
the -reason for this request is that the District
Attorney's Office has advised the City Attorney's
office that they felt the language in the
City's ordinance was son'ewhat vague, and they
therefore requested that Council amend the code
to permit swinmi.ng only in posted and designated
areas. This would then allow a citation to be
issued to an individual who was swimming in an
undesignated area. City Manager Peterson further
explained that it was his understanding that the
designated areas will be signed to indicate that
swimming is permitted at that particular
location.
Discussion followed with questions heing directed
to Staff.

introduction of Ordinance No. 1368 - An
Ordinance of the Lodi City Council Amending
Chapter 12.12 of the Lodi Municipal Code

or Swimming in Parks. The motion was seconded

NO.
SUBJECT: AMEND ORDINANCE RELATING TO BATHING AND/OR SWIMMING IN PARKS
Council is being. asked to amend Chapter 12.12 of the Municipal
Code
relating to bathing and/or swimming i -n parks. The reason for
this
request is that the District Attorney's office has advised the
City
Attorney's office that they felt the language in the ordinance
was
somewhat vague, and they therefore requested that Council amend
the
code to permit swimming only in posted and designated areas.
This
would then allow a citation to be issued to an individual who
was
swimming in an undesignated area. It is my understanding that
the
designated areas. will be signed to indicate that swimming is permitted
at that particular location.
