"The Council also finds that sexually-oriented businesses have adverse

influence on persons attending or using such residential properties or
schools, day care centers, libraries and parks.
Sexually-oriented businesses can contribute to an increase in criminal
activity in the area in which such businesses are located.
Sexually-oriented businesses can significantly contribute to the
deterioration of residential neighborhoods and can impair the character and
quality of the residential housing in the area in which such businesses are
located, thereby exacerbating the shortage of affordable and habitable
housing for City residents.

1345.01 Findings, Purpose and Objectives. The Council finds that sexually-
oriented businesses have adverse secondary characteristics particularly when they
may be accessible to minors or are located near residential properties or
schools, day care centers, libraries and parks, and can exert a dehumanizing
influence on persons attending or using such places or facilities.
Sexually-oriented businesses can contribute to an increase in criminal activity
in the area in which such businesses are located, taxing city crime-prevention
programs and law-enforcement services.
Sexually-oriented businesses can significantly contribute to the deterioration of
residential neighborhoods and can impair the character and quality of the
residential housing in the area in which such businesses are located, thereby
exacerbating the shortage of affordable and habitable housing for City residents.
The concentration of sexually-oriented businesses in one area can have a

which can result from the concentration of such businesses, erode the City's tax
base and contribute to overall urban blight.
The regulation of sexually-oriented businesses by prescribing licensing
requirements is warranted to prevent criminal activity and promote public health.
Further, the prevention of criminal activity and the promotion of public health
requires intensive efforts with respect to sexually-oriented businesses which
exceed those required to control and regulate other business activities in the
city.

TEEN DANCE PROPOSAL PRESENTED: CITY TO UNDERWRITE CERTAIN COSTS Manager Rosland
presented a Teen Dance Proposal from Dawn Kerrison, 6517 Willow Wood Road,
requesting authorization to continue the teen dances which have been held in the
Lewis Engineering building. At the July 6, 1993 Council meeting, approval was
given to support and sponsor the dances with public funds not to exceed $500.00.
As proposed, projected expenses for the City would be the underwriting of two
police officers and any potential mailings. It is hoped that all information
could be sent to the students and families through the school, since dances will
take place after school starts.
Manager Rosland said he had explained to Ms:Kerrison that the City would not pay
to open the sewer line to the building nor would the City hook up heaters to the
building.
