When the police make an initial response to an underage social gathering on private or public property and a police officer issues a citation for violation of this chapter, the officer shall, in writing, inform any responsible person(s) at the property or location that:

A. An underage social gathering exists; and

B. The social host(s) will be charged for any response costs incurred for subsequent responses to the property for hosting an underage social gathering within a 12-month period.

This warning will be given to all social hosts at the time of the first response to an underage social gathering where a citation is issued for violation of this chapter. Within 30 calendar days of the initial citation, a written warning will be delivered via certified mail to the owner of record of the involved property. When a police officer responds to an underage social gathering at a residence or other private property within the City within 12 months of a citation and warning given to social hosts at the same property, and such officer issues a second or subsequent citation pursuant to this chapter, all responsible persons shall be jointly and severally liable for the City’s response costs concerning such second or subsequent underage social gathering, but only to the extent that the identified social host(s) concerning the first citation at such property remain the social host(s) for the second or subsequent citation at such property. (Ord. 1114, 2018)
