Analysis
This substitute ordinance prohibits loitering, either on foot or in or upon any conveyance, on any public parking surface lot or public parking structure, notwithstanding the notification requirements of ss. 101-23.5 and 110-10, which relate to parking on private property and trespassing upon buildings or premises, respectively.

The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

No arrest shall be made for a violation of this subsection unless the arresting officer first affords such persons an opportunity to explain such conduct, and no one shall be convicted of violating this subsection if it appears at trial that the explanation given was true and disclosed a lawful purpose. As used in this subsection:

a. "Public parking structure" means a building enclosure or garage above or under the ground, or any portion thereof, in which automobiles or motor vehicles may be parked, stored, housed or kept, and open to public use with or without charge.
