A RESOLUTION establishing a committee to study and make recommendations
to the City Council concerning "cruising"
WHEREAS, traffic conditions and the associated congestion of parking
lots at businesses off Court Street between 14th and 28th Avenues in the City of
Pasco has evolved to the point where the City Council has considered banning
cruising on Court Street, and
WHEREAS, the City Council, on May 17, 1993, adopted an ordinance
allowing the Chief of Police to temporarily designate "no cruising" streets and
for the City Council to permanently ban cruising on certain streets, and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that those participating in
cruising include, by a large majority, many good and responsible youth and young
adults who have an earnest interest in improving the conditions surrounding
cruising and abating associated nuisance problems, i e, traffic congestion,
congregation in parking lots, noise, alcohol, litter, fighting and intimidation
of persons not involved in the cruising, but desiring to shop at local
businesses, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined it in the best interests of
the City and its youth and young adult population to mutually discuss the
problems associated with cruising and attempt to reach solutions short of totally
banning cruising on designated streets in the City, Now, Therefore,
