ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 2023-1585 AMENDING CHAPTER 11, ARTICLE 11-1 (OFFENSES) OF GOODYEAR CITY CODE; PROVIDING FOR CORRECTIONS, SEVERABILITY, PENALTIES, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Anthony Polse, Assistant City Attorney)
FISCAL IMPACT
There will be no direct fiscal impact on the City in FY 2024 or future years related to the adoption of this Ordinance and related City Code amendments.
BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
There have been no previous discussions or Council action regarding the proposed amendments to the various sections of Article 11-1 Offenses of Goodyear City Code.
STAFF ANALYSIS
Section 11-1-12 Prostitution has been amended to add definitions and provide clarity and identify the penalties for violation in alignment with state law.
Section 11-1-39 Amends the City Code to require suspects who are validly detained to give their full true name and date of birth. Previously, there was no requirement in City Code that required suspects to provide a date of birth when asked by law enforcement. New section 11-1-39 (Refusal to provide identification or evidence of identity when lawfully detained) has been added to rectify this issue.
