Ordinance 2194, Interference with Police, First Reading – POSTPONED UNTIL STAFF CAN REPORT BACK WITH RECOMMENDATION. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Bliss, Seconded by Councilman Fleming, to approve Ordinance 2194, Interference with Police on First Reading and schedule the Second Reading for June 26, 2023. Mayor Pro Tem Bliss asked for clarification on the language regarding the wording resisting, obstructing and interference. Councilor Rohrbach stated that she wants the police to have the best tools that they need, but this language seems a bit broad. Councilor Wright stated that he concurs with both Mayor Pro Tem Bliss and Councilor Rohrbach's statements. He stated that we are talking about a subjective matter, and while we need to give our law enforcement and first responders the tools they need, the language needs to be clearer. In response to Councilwoman Aaron’s question, Assistant City Attorney Burns stated that the reason we use the terms interfering and resisting is so that we don’t have a litany of ordinances to address various types of behavior. This only relates to those resisting a lawful command. Resisting, interfering, and obstructing are terms incorporated for someone who is under a lawful order, and they make it difficult for the officer to conduct his job. This only relates to interfering with police trying to conduct their business in a safe and orderly manner. In response to Councilman Soltis, Assistant City Attorney Burns stated that this ordinance has been in place for 20 years, it is only adding a line to address situations such as filing a false police report or communications to an officer where individuals are voluntarily lying to police officers. Substitute Motion #1- withdrawn. Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Bliss, Seconded by Councilor Rohrbach to approve Ordinance No. 2194 with the removal of the word “resisting” on First Reading and schedule a Second Reading for June 26, 2023. Councilman Fleming asked for clarification on changing the ordinance by removing the word resisting wording, would that be amending the original ordinance. Assistant City Attorney Burns agreed with Councilman Fleming's interpretation. Substitute Motion #2 Motion by Councilman Soltis, Seconded by Councilor Rohrbach, to postpone Ordinance No. 2194, for further comment and suggestions by staff for an upcoming City Council meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Bliss requested that the Crime Commission have input on the ordinance and Councilors Wright and Rohrbach stated that they would like input from the HREC on this ordinance change as well. Councilman Fleming requested a complete copy of the current ordinance wording for Council, the HREC, and the Crime Commission. 10 06-12-23 Vote on Substitute Motion #2: Voting Yea: Mayor Grafstein, Councilwoman Aaron, Mayor Pro Tem Bliss, Councilman Fleming, Councilor Rohrbach, Councilman Soltis, Councilor Wright Motion carried.
