6. Consider readopting the Juvenile Curfew Ordinance.
Texas Local Government Code 370.002 requires that a home -rule municipality which has
adopted a juvenile curfew ordinance periodically review the ordinance and its effect on the
community and identify any problems with the ordinance or problems the ordinance was
intended to remedy. The statute also provides for abolishing, continuing, or modifying the
ordinance.
In July 1994 following public review, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 94-34 which
created a new Chapter 9 establishing a curfew for minors. In 1995 Ordinance 95-37 was
adopted which modified the curfew hours for minors. The Ordinance has been reviewed and
adopted as required, with the latest being in 2014, Ordinance 14-063.
The Curfew Ordinance has been extensively reviewed by the Police Department and
determined to be effective in regard to promoting the safety and wellbeing of the city's
youngest citizens. Renewal of this ordinance serves to promote the general welfare and
protection of the public through the reduction of juvenile violence and crime within the city.
Approval of ordinance.
Councilmember Jordan moved to ADOPT AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED AN ORDINANCE REVIEWING AND
