MEMORANDUM
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF OWASSO
FROM: JULIE TROUT LOMBARDI
CITY ATTORNEY
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ORDINANCES
ANIMAL EXCREMENT AND PARK CURFEW
DATE: AUGUST 14, 2009
BACKGROUND:
Two ordinances are proposed for adoption by the City Council. The first ordinance, Animal
Excrement, would require pet owners to dispose of excrement deposited by their pet on public
property or on the private property of another person or entity. The second ordinance, Park
Curfew, would impose a curfew from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. in the City's parks and is intended to
increase both protection to citizens and prevention of criminal activities from taking place in the
city's parks during the nighttime hours.
DISCUSSION OF ORDINANCES:
A. Animal Excrement
Proposed Ordinance No. 944 would require pet owners to immediately remove excrement
deposited by their pet on any public property or on the private property of another person or
entity. The majority of cities in Oklahoma, and throughout the United States, have adopted
similar ordinances. An ordinance of this nature promotes health and sanitation while
simultaneously placing full responsibility for a pet's waste upon the owner rather than the public
or another property owner.
B. Park Curfew
Proposed Ordinance No. 945 would impose a curfew in the City's parks from 11 p.m. until 5
a.m. The proposed ordinance has the dual goals of increasing safety during the nighttime hours
and reducing potential vandalism and other crimes during that period of time as well. Imposing
a curfew from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. has a number of benefits including the prevention of vandalism
in the parks, enhancing the safety of park users, reducing potential accidents during the nighttime
hours in parks without lights designed for night usage and preventing potential criminal acts by
both adults and juveniles in the parks during the nighttime hours.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends City Council approval of the proposed Animal Excrement and Park Curfew
ordinances.
