CITIZEN INPUT Mr. Pao_l Becker, 6010 Radium Circle Mr. Becker complained about parties in his neighborhood where between 400 and 500 people were present and there were 100 to 140 cars. The parties went on both on Friday and Saturday nights. He asked about city ordinances regarding parties of this type. He said he believed the one who organized the parties is not the one who lives at the house where the parties were held and he thought that the owners rented the house for the party. He said Dale Wirz is the owner of the house. Councilman Cox said he thought where there is a situation that continually occurs, the city should not stand for it any longer and should get real tough with them. He said he understood there were people drinking at those parties who were under age and that as high as 400 people were present. He suggested having the people come in before the City Council and warning them if it occurs again. City Attorney Goodrich suggested getting the Police Chief to write a letter to the people responsible for the parties. Mr. Becker said the police hands seemed to be tied until 10:00 p.m. when it became a nuisance matter. He asked if they have to wait until 10:00 p.m. and if the city ordinance is specific enough to define a nuisance. City Attorney Goodrich read the nuisance ordmnance. C/June 10, 1980 Page 1
