Analysis
This ordinance clarifies procedures and definitions relating to the abatement of chronic nuisances associated with specific premises.
The ordinance clarifies that the procedures under s. 80-10 are applicable to premises that have generated 3 or more responses from the police department. Currently, the ordinance applies to premises that have generated 3 or more calls for service. These calls may currently include multiple calls arising from a single incident, or may not be sufficient to warrant a police response.
The ordinance also clarifies the definition of “nuisance activity” replacing reference to crimes of violence as defined in ch. 940, Wis. Stats., with specific language referencing crimes against life and bodily security. The ordinance adds robbery and receipt of stolen property to the list of crimes and violations that constitute a nuisance under s. 80-10.
Further, the ordinance provides clarification of procedures and of the duties of property owners or other persons responsible for premises when the chief of police requires modification of a written course of action.
Finally, technical corrections to section references are included in the ordinance.
