INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and Common Council
FROM:
James F. Penman, City Attorney
DATE:
September 12, 1991
PROPOSED ORDINANCE ALLOWING DEVELOPMENT OF SRO'S
HE:
For the past several weeks this office has struggled
diligently with the proposed ordinance to allow development of
single room occupancy (SRO) facilities.
An ordinance has been completed and is on the September 16,
1991 agenda for your consideration. Unfortunately, this office
will not be able to approve it as to legal content.
The ordinance is extremely restrictive as to the standards
these facilities must conform to, includjng the management
requirements. These rigid standards are absolutely necessary if we
are to avoid the difficulties the City of San Dlego has encountered
with their SRO's.
However, this City does not have the means to enforce these
standards, let alone to enforce the criminal provisions mandated by
the ordinance.
It is our opinion, after numerous discussions among
Mr. Barlow, Mr. Empefto and myself, that enactment of this ordinance
will result in substantial liability exposure to this City in the
future. We will not be able to enforce the ordinance and the SRO's
IJFP/dys/sro-ord.mem]

tJ_// d J
o
o
will soon, if not initially, be out of compliance. The result will
be injuries due to accidents and criminal activity. The very type
of legal problems this ordinance is intended to prevent will occur.
We will first fail to enforce the standards, and then later attempt
to do so when the SRO's lack of compliance becomes serious. Law
suits will result alleging unequal application of both the law and
enforcement, as well as discrimination, etc.
Respectfully Submitted,
p~
