This office processed an average of 50+ cases each month. The report separates the offenses by ward for easy viewing. Also attached is the statistical sheet showing all cases handled by the Community Prosecution program from its inception (mid May) until the end of 2006. For the six and one- half months the program has been in effect, the office processed 512 cases. The ward breakdown is as follows: Ward No. of cases 1 85 2 201 3 36 4 32 5 17 6 57 7 84 Fifty percent of all cases, city wide, involved three types of crime: drunk in public (22%); resisting arrest (14%); and petty theft (15%). Pursuant to Council direction, two new crimes have been added to the quality of life crimes handled by the community prosecutors (Penal Code section 12025 and 12031- gun possession charges). As yet, no cases with those charges have been assigned to the office. Legislative and Litigation Committee February 28, 2007 Page 2 To date, one adult graffiti case was processed. The graffiti perpetrators typically are juveniles. The defendant pled guilty and was sentenced to probation, a fine, community service and ordered to pay restitution to the victim. One community prosecution attorney is devoted to handling all of the criminal prosecutions. The other two attorneys have-begun to assist the police department with animal control hearings. Additionally, the attorneys attend code enforcement hearings and help code enforcement officers with inspection and abatement warrants. Since the inception of the community prosecution program, the attorneys have assisted in the preparation of 29 warrants. Finally, this office has met and will continue to meet with the police department and shortly will begin to resolve other quality of life issues by initiating drug and gang abatement proceedings.

MANAGER MEMORANDUM March 1, 2007 TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Christine Butterfield, Assistant City Manage~~Z~ SUBJECT: Smoking Prohibition in City Parks Council Referral #001684 Council member Sullivan requested the Legislative and Litigation Committee consider a possible smoke-free outdoor ordinance and staff to research other cities' ordinances. According to the City Attorney's Office, California's Health and Safety Code prohibits the use and sale of tobacco products within the boundaries of a playground or tot lot. In addition, this provision also provides for violation fines. Moreover, it allows cities to pass and enforce ordinances with stricter provisions. Attached are three memoranda from the City Attorney's Office, Park and Recreation and Fire Departments. The City Attorney reviews the practices of various communities regarding park signage. The other two departments speak to current practices. Representatives from each department will be available at the meeting to review these materials and respond to questions. Ieglit3.Ob.07 Oda ~ ..{,~~'s ~ -~- i~ U ~,.,~„~ ~ALtFo TO: FROM: SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM CITY ATTORNEY February 28, 2007 LEGISLATIVE AND LITIGATION COMMITTEE Sue Benham, Chair David Couch Jacquie Sullivan - ~w VIRGINIA GENNARO, CITY ATTORN HELENA RHO, ASSOCIATE CITY ATT NEY ~. Smoking in City Parks HiStOry In 2001, the California legislature adopted Health and Safety Code section 104495 to help combat issues involving second-hand smoke. As written, that section prohibited smoking a cigarette, cigar or other tobacco-related product within the boundaries of any playground, or tot lot sandbox area. The law also prohibited the disposing of the butts or other tobacco waste in that same area. A violation of this section was deemed an infraction with a maximum fine of $100. When Governor Davis signed the bill, he urged the author to propose new legislation which would expand the area of the prohibition and raise the fine. In 2002, the legislature amended section 104495 to prohibit smoking or disposing of butts within 25 feet of a playground or tot lot sandbox area. A violation remained an infraction, but the fine was increased to $250. This section specifically allows local governments to pass and enforce ordinances that are stricter. In 2001, Bakersfield adopted Chapter 8.58 dealing with tobacco use prevention. Although, there is no language in that section prohibiting smoking in public places or, specifically, city parks, we can enforce Health and Safety Code section 104495. A sampling of how other cities approach the situation is set forth below. California Cities The city of Davis prohibits smoking in "public places". "Public places" is defined as an enclosed area to which the public is invited. In addition to these enclosed areas, Davis prohibits smoking in certain outdoor areas, namely, "children's plan areas." Davis' ordinance requires "no smoking" signs to be posted wherever smoking is regulated by the ordinance. A violation of the ordinance is an infraction. The first violation results in a $50 fine, second within one year is $200, third within a year is $500. The city of Palo Alto prohibits smoking in all "service locations," defined as "areas in dedicated parks or other publicly accessible areas that are within twenty feet of bleachers, backstops, or play structures." , This ordinance also requires posting of signs wherever smoking is prohibited. Santa Monica's ordinance applies to the entire boundaries of public city parks. The cities of Beverly Hills, Carson, San Fernando, Huntington Beach and EI Monte have also extended the smoke-free policy to include entire city parks. According to the Santa Monica Open Space Management Division, enforcement of the measure has relied on voluntary compliance, a public education outreach campaign, and reminders from park rangers. Santa Monica has not increased enforcement, does not issue tickets for violations (except in the rare case of a refusal to comply), and has not measured the impacts on smoking or littering in the parks since the ordinance passed last year. Also, Santa Monica's ordinance does not require signage, but the city does post signs in areas where smoking is restricted. Calabasas and Dublin have recently taken action to further restrict the areas in which smoking is permitted. Calabasas banned smoking in all indoor and outdoor public places, except for a handful of scattered, designated outdoor smoking areas in town and private residences. The ordinance also requires signs to be posted in areas where smoking is prohibited. A violation is a misdemeanor, which can be reduced to an infraction by a prosecutor. The ordinance also declares that second-hand smoke constitutes a public nuisance, so private citizens may take action. This is believed to be the strictest ban in the United States. Dublin recently amended its ordinance to add a section that declares second-hand smoke a nuisance, becoming only the second city in the state behind Calabasas to do so. The ordinance does not provide for enforcement, but merely enables private citizens to take action in court without having to prove to the judge that the smoke constitutes a .nuisance. Judgments can include injunctions and monetary damages or both. The maximum judgment of damages in such a case is $7,500. Conclusion There is no requirement in Health and Safety Code section 104495 that requires the posting of signs setting forth the smoking prohibition. It would appear that the cities which enacted stricter ordinances posted signs to be user friendly and alert tourists and other visitors of the prohibition.

The State of California Health and Safety Code, Section 104495, item b states: "No person shall smoke a cigarette, cigar or other tobacco related products within 25 feet of any playground or tot lot sandbox area." Item c: "No person shall dispose of cigarette butts, cigar busts, or any other tobacco-related waste within 25 feet of a playground or a tot lot sandbox area." These two items from the Health and Safety Code were brought to my attention last fall when a parent of a young child observed people smoking next to where his child was playing on the playground. He researched the laws, and was able to find the above codes which apply to public playgrounds. He then requested that we put up signs in each one of playgrounds, to inform people of this law. Several problems arise with this request, and involves the City Attorney's office, Fire Department and the Police Department, in addition to the Recreation and Parks staff. With nearly fifty playgrounds in city parks, where exactly does a sign go? If we erect one sign in each park, a person could possibly enter a park and playground from various points and never see the sign. Therefore, would we need more than one sign at each playground? With the written law being specific on 25 feet away, would we need to draw a radius around each playground to indica#e the no smoking area? Lastly, how do we enforce such a law? Typically, when staff has approached smokers to comply with the current law, especially around children, they comply. If the police are called to the scene due to a smoker next to a playground that won't leave the premises or put out the cigarette, what would be the priority on such a call? As a viable solution to these questions, the Recreation and Parks Department has printed a statement in the front of the program brochure stating the code and the possible fine of $250.00 for first occurrence. At this time, we believe that educating the public on the law is the frst step to compliance. The brochure is mailed to over 100,000 households three times a year, and people who are park users and participants do pay attention to the contents of the brochure. In addition, we are in the process of revising the park reservation forms which will also state the relevant Health and Safety Code. The Department of Recreation and Parks is very interested in creating and maintaining outdoor play areas that are welcoming, safe and enjoyable for all. • B A K E R S F I E L D FIRE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Alan Tandy, City Manager FROM: Ron Fraze, Fire Chief DATE: March 1, 2007 SUBJECT: SMOKE-FREE OUTDOOR ORDINANCE Council .Referral No. Ref001684 (VNard 6) Councilmember Sullivan requested the Legislative and Litigation Committee consider a possible smoke-free outdoor ordinance and staff to research other cities' ordinances, i.e., Davis, Palo Alto, Fresno, This °tot-law° is almost a nuisance law and should be addressed accordingly. If we get several complaints about someone smoking in a park, one of my staff would drive by. The challenge is, due to the priority of our calls, we cannot respond in a timely manner. In the last twelve years we have never received a complaint of someone smoking in or around a park.

I strongly disagree with this proposed change on many levels. As you know, I was part of the team that was tasked with the challenge of developing our current Ordinance which was safety driven. Making this proposed change #o our current Ordinance would undermine all the work that went into its original development. The following are a number of reasons why the proposed change should not be implemented: • Fireworks were originally produced to celebrate our Nation's Independence Day. Over time, citizens were discharging them on any day of the year creating hazardous conditions for the surrounding citizens and the area. This was the impetus for developing our current Ordinance. • Recent statistics show 84% of the number of fireworks' injuries reported to emergency departments involve fireworks that are. deemed safe and sane. • 60% of those injured were younger than 1~ years of age. • Our current fireworks' Orciinance involved the input of many constituencies, such as the Bakersfield Fire Department, Kem County Fire Department, City Council, fireworks vendors, and non-profit organizations. • We do not have the resources to police these individual events. • Task Forces that were implemented last year to curb unauthorized Fireworks use, such as modifying safe and sane' fireworks, using iAegal fireworks, and discharging fireworks outside of the prescribed time frame were very successful and we intend to use them again this year. A possible amendment to our Ordinance would create a large loophole and would render its effectiveness null and void..

The proposed language would authorize one day permits for the personal use of fireworks, as the code presently allows only pyrotechnicians use year- round. The language can be added to Chapter 8.44 of .our Municipal Code, which addresses the regulation of fireworks in general. The most appropriate section for this language would be 8.44.040 "Regulations" as part of sub-section "S," as this part addresses the regulation of the use of fireworks.

Stinson, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Fireworks Ordinance Modification - Risk Management and Enforcement Issues Council Referral No. Ref0011698 The proposed modification of the existing fireworks ordinance to allow individuals who are not licensed pyrotechnicians to be able to use fireworks, on days other than July 4th and New Years Eve for special events such as birthday parties and other celebrations raises a number of concerns from a risk management perspective and potential liability to the City. Allowing such use would be very difficult to monitor and enforce for police and fire officials and there is potential for injury and fire damage related to such increased use. The issuing of a permit by the City to allow such periodic use without a pyrotechnic license as currently required by the ordinance would create increased liability for the City. The Fire Department currently reviews permits for pyrotechnic shows, verifies licenses, requires insurance, performs inspections to make sure the devices are properly installed, inventory accurate and depending on the size of the show is in attendance at such displays to insure proper safety precautions including proper seating arrangements, fallout areas and appropriate spectator distances are adhered to. Given the recent history of fireworks related fires and serious injuries in our City it would not be prudent to further extend the use of fireworks in the community. The use of fireworks by those without specific training and expertise in the safe use of such devices and adequate levels of insurance to limit exposure to claims by those who may experience losses due to such fireworks use would contribute to the city's liability. It would be very difficult to monitor the proper use of such devices and to make sure modifications were not made to them which could cause fires, property damage or injuries to innocent third parties. Additionally, allowing fireworks permits for special events may result in increased citizen complaints and confusion regarding when the legal use of fireworks is allowed. The average citizen will not know if their neighbor using fireworks has a permit or not and may object to the shooting of fireworks or complain that they are using them outside the time frames allowed by City codes. They will likely call the City with complaints which will have to be responded to. Some who see fireworks S:\JOHN\ATPROJ\Fireworks -special event permits.doc being used at times other than the proscribed periods in the current code may get the impression there is no regulation or enforcement and they may decide they can use fireworks whenever they please, making public education about the proper dates of use and enforcement requirements more difficult and confusing for the public. Further, considerable effort was made to encourage uniformity between City and County regulation and enforcement of fireworks in the community. Changes by the City alone would undermine cooperative efforts to provide a seamless enforcement strategy and educational efforts to the public throughout the metropolitan Bakersfield area. Based on the potential liability, staffing cost and enforcement impacts staff does not recommend the proposed change to the ordinance.

You explained that Phantom said they needed this because they had suffered the loss of their employee who was a licensed pyrotechnician and they needed to be able to discharge fireworks at the safety orientations for their nonprofit groups. These orientations are held by both Phanton Fireworks and TNT Fireworks/American Promotional Eventsweeks in advance of the authorized sales and use period. You also explained that Phantom wanted it so that individuals could apply to discharge state-approved fireworks on special occasions. I informed you that my client (TNT Fireworks) led the way 30 plus years agoin California by every yearstaging these safety orientations for all the nonprofit group retailers throughout California.They are held in every community inwhich our client distributes state-approved fireworks. In almost all instances, representatives of the local fire departmentare requested to attend and address the nonproit groups about any issues or concerns they have as well as how booth inspections will take place, etc. My client requests and gains the verbal and, in many instances,written approval of the fire department in the juridiction where the orientation is taking place to be permitted to discharge all new as well as some long time favoritefireworks items for the nonprofi groups to see. No jurisdictionthat Iknow of requires that a licensed pyotechnician be present. Prior to sending you this email, I checked with Chief Fraze regarding this. He left me a voice mail that he had checked with the City Attorney and she thought we would need a licensed pyrotechncian to do this as the ordinance now reads. This is so unnecessary and overkill, particularly if members of the City Fire Department are there! This discharge at the orientationshas always been handled in this informal way. TNT Fireworks, and its predecessor in interest, and the City of Bakersfield have been doing it this way for over 30 years without incident. There is no need to change the current approach. A pyrotechnician's (3/6/2007) Ginny Gennaro - FW: Leg & Lit Agenda Item on Fireworks Page 2 license is required for someone who discharges public display type (areial), Class B Fireworks.....We are talking about state-aproved fireworks here.. As to the second reason for Phantom's request, this does not make sense either. In essence we would be encouragng a consumer to store state-approved fireworks in their home throughout the year to then have them availableto discharge on a special occasion. Neither my client nor Phantom could legally sell them fireworks outside the time period specified in state law. I hope this email is responsive to your request. Feel free to call me on my cell phone (916-952-5351) if you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter further. Sincerely, Dennis C.
