The camping ordinance needs to be updated following 9th Circuit Court opinions that limit bans on camping within city limits. The other ordinance that needs to be updated, in my opinion, is the city’s camping ordinance. I have asked the city attorney to bring these updated ordinances to council this fall, for the council and the public to review and comment on. While the banning of such shows is beyond the city’s authority, the city can require licensing of such events, and limit underage attendance. This is due in part to outdated ordinances that do not address this type of activity specifically. Citizens have alleged that children have been brought into these events by adults, but the city does nothing. I have heard from many citizens concerned with these types of shows appearing more frequently in Prescott, at a variety of venues and events. For that reason, I have been working with the city attorney and his team to identify and update some highly visible ordinances, to meet the test of modern times.Ī few of these are related to adult entertainment, or sexually oriented businesses, and the hosting of sexually oriented shows such as cabaret or drag shows. In addition, several judicial decisions and case law have affected some of these ordinances. My goal is to make sure that the ordinances of the City of Prescott meet the needs of our citizens in these modern times.During my time as a councilmember and mayor, there have been many instances of antiquated, outdated and sometimes ineffective ordinances that were not consistent with our current times, or the real-world environment.
