r, <br />lei <br />J <br />MEMORANDUM /1 <br />T0: Donald F. Pauley / <br />FROM: Richard Meyers <br />City Attorney <br />DATE: May 16, 1988 <br />SUBJECT': Ordinance 434 Amending Chapter 1.11 <br />Attached please find the proposed Ordinance 434, which has <br />been line amended pursuant to our recent meeting. <br />I would suggest that the following language be added to the <br />proposed Amended Ordinance: <br />In the event that the position of a non peace officer <br />employee is vacant, then the Clerk Administrator is <br />authorized to issue citations as provided for in this <br />Subdivision S. <br />There was some concern expresaed relative to the right of <br />authorized non peace officer employees arresting alleged <br />violators of the Ordinances involved. The law provides that <br />said parties may issue citations and does not ordinarily <br />provide for arrests; however, it should be noted that <br />citizens may under certain circumstances arrest another <br />individual where a violation of law takes place in their <br />presence. This generally means holding the parity involved <br />until a peace officer can complete the arresting procedure. <br />However, under the types of ordinances involved in non <br />peace officer citations it is very unlikely that arrests <br />vill take place in any event. <br />
