The city council finds and declares that problems associated with minors committing multiple violations of the city's municipal code creates an undue burden and hardship on city resources and the community.

    The city council is charged with the responsibility of protecting this community from those minors who are at risk of committing more serious criminal conduct.

    By adopting this chapter council intends to focus on parental responsibility as the primary deterrent to such juvenile misbehavior.

    The city council finds and declares those minors who receive and are found responsible for three or more violations of the Grass Valley Municipal Code, specifically violations of the following sections: Section 9.12.010 trespassing, Section 9.14.040 unlawful presence, Section 10.64.030 skateboarding, Section 12.16.010 obstructing a public way, Section 12.32.050 improper conduct in a park or recreational area, Section 12.32.055 violation of special regulations pertaining to Elisabeth Daniels Park, and Section 12.32.070 entry into public park or recreation center after dark without a permit, during any twelve-month period are hereby classified as repeat juvenile offenders.

    It is further declared that the parents or guardian of any minor classified as a repeat juvenile offender shall be issued a citation for knowingly allowing such minor to violate the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 536 § 1 (part), 1996)
