STAFF REPORT
Council Meeting Date: October 6, 1997
TO: Mayor and Common Council
FROM: Paula J. Coleman, Deputy City Attorney
DATE: September 25, 1997
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance of the City of San Bernardino Amending Section 9.90.010 of
the San Bernardino Municipal Code relating to Authority to Arrest
and Issue Citations
Currently, San Bernardino Municipal Code Chapter 9.90 enumerates the City Departments and their
designated employees that are authorized to issue citations to enforce the San Bernardino Municipal
Code. While parking district security officers employed by Facilities Management are authorized to
issue parking citations pursuant to San Bernardino Municipal Code § 10.16.150, they are not
authorized to issue violations for San Bernardino Municipal Code violations.
Occasionally, while issuing parking citations, parking district security officers are confronted with
unlawful conduct where they observe individuals violating the Municipal Code, but do not have the
authority to issue a citation. As a result, the illegal conduct not only goes unpunished, but
undeterred.
By passing this amendment to Chapter 9.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code, parking district
security officers are added to the list of City employees who are empowered to enforce the San
Bernardino Municipal Code.
