CITY-OF SAN BERNQDINO - REQUEST FQ COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
Chief Daniel Robbins requested a legal opinion from City Attorney James Penman if
certain provisions of the San Bernardino Municipal Code should be amended to prevent
occas i ona 1 inadvertent viol ati on by the Pol ice Department's recently establ i shed
and operational bicycle mounted enforcement detail.
On August 27, 1991, Mr. Penman issued Opinion No. 91-26 containing his analysis
and conclusion. Mr. Penman's analysis focuses attention to San Bernardino Municipal
Code Section 10.24.200, sub-paragraph G, which directly relates to bicycles and
attempts to prohibit the type of activity which would be required of the bicycle
officers in fulfilling their responsibilities.
San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 10.24.200, sub-paragraph G, provides in perti-
nent part:
"It is unlawful for any person to ride upon any bicycle, roller skate, or
skates, skateboard, or other kindred contrivance in any municipal parking
facility... except a municipal parking facility located in a municipal
park or playground."
City Attorney Penman has drafted a proposed amendment to Section 10.24.200 of the
San Bernardino Municipal Code exempting police officers from certain traffic restric-
tions in city parking lots. This amendment would add a sub-paragraph H, which would
read; "The provisions of this section shall not apply to a pol ice officer in the
performance of his duties".
