THE HONORABLE CITY COCNCIL
Palo Alto, california
RE: Ordin&nce B4nnin<j' Alcohol Con"umption
in City Parka .nd Requiring Park Closure
One Bour After Sundown
Dear Members of the Council:
In response to the Council '. direction durinq the meetinq
of ee"eaber la, 1990, attached 18 a draft ordinance that prohibits
the consumption of alcoholic bever&qu in all City p.rks and
generally requir •• that the parka be clo.ed one hour after aundown.
Onder the ordinance t bulldiJl98 and liqhted areas in the parka,
including ter.nis court. and playing fielda, would r .... ain open until
10:30 p... In addition to staff's comment. on the ordinance In the
attached CMR, the Council "hould be aware of the following legal
issues when considering the ordinance:
1. Regulation of Cpnsumption Y. Possession of Alcohol
'1'he ordinance Ulends Palo Alto Huni<:ipal Code
(·PAMC·) Chapter n. OC [Park Olle and Requlati ons) to ban the
consumption, rather the possession (1.e. -ope.n container-). of
alcohol in the City's paries. Under Article XX, section 22, of the
California Constitution, the state (r.ther than the City) has the
exclusive authority to regulate R2I§eslion of alcohol within the
City.' However, the City 15 clearly .uthorized to requlllte alcohol
'california Constitution Article XX, IOection 22, provides:
"The stat. of californi •••• shall have the exclusive riqht and power
to license and req\llate the .a.nufacture, .ale, purchase .. possession
and transportation of alcoholic beverages 'Within the state .... -
(Emphases added).

consumption within it. boundaries.2 As a result, the ordinance
.1_0 a.onds provisionB ot the PAMC that prohibit both the posses
.ion and consumption of alcohol on or in City streets, sidewalks,
bighways .. alleys, and parkinq lots and in vehicles within City
parka or open apace lands.! Should the ordinance be adopted, only
the consumption of alcohol in those area. would be prohibited~
Possession ot an alcoh~lic beverage in City parks
would .. till be prohibited., bOll.ver , UJ'lder section 25620 of the
California BUsiness and Professions Code. Section 25620 provides
that possession of an open container of alcohol in a city-owned
park or other adjacent city-owned public place, or in any open
.pace district, is prohibited if the city has enacted an ordinance
Which prohibita consumption of alcohol in such areas~ Therefore~
with adoption of the ordinance, both the possession and consumption
of alcohol in the City 1 8 parks Would effectively be prohibited.
2~ Alcohol Consumptipn in Parks-InfractiQn v, Misdemeanor
The ordinance provides that anyone who consumes alcohol
in a City park is quilty of an infraction. Most violation~ of the
PAMC are misdemeanors, includinq violations of any ether-park
regulations under Chapter 22~04~ such as the park closure require
.. nts~ H0li9ver, violation of BUsiness; and Professions Code Section
25620 for possession of alcohol ia an infraction. Since it is
easier to prove possession of an open container rather than actual
consunption of alcohol, it is likely that .cst successful prosecu
tions of the alcohol ban will occur under Section 25620 for
possession, rather than under the PAMC provisions tor consumption.
We therefore drafted the ordinance to be consistent with the state
statute, so that both potential charges are punishable as infrac
tions.
In tractions are also qenerally easier than sisdemeancrs
to prosecute and for the court &yst~ to administer. No right to
a jury trial or a public defender attaches to an individual charged
with an infraction violation. A rirst time violator is also not
left with a JIIiadelUeanor on his or ber record in the event of
successful prosecution, bence reducinq the incentive to defend the
caae in a potentially costly .anner~
Consumption of alcohol on City streets~ sidewalks,
highway., alleys, or parkinq lots remains a misdemeanor under the
'Plopl. y. SUtler (1967) 59 Cal.Rptr. 924.
'PAIlC sections 9.04.010, 9.04.020 and 22.04.350.
The Honorable City council
May 7. 1991

ordinance since. there 1. no companion posse •• lon charge unde.r state
law.' St.a:tt learned that most of the cities polled concerning
their alcoh.ol regulations .ade all violations ot their park
requlations punishable as infractions, Includinq those requlating
alcohol. Should the Council determine that all violations of
Chapter 22 .. 04 sbould be aade infractions, Council should direct the
city Attorney to amend the ordin~nce aooordingly.
3.. Gol f COQrse __ No Change to Licensed Bar ArU
The Pa.lo A,\t.o HUl"licipal Golf Course is located on
dedicated park land. Under Article XX, section 22 of the constitu
tion, the city is not authorized to prohibit alcohol consumption
where the state has already allowed it througb the alcoholic
beverage sales licen:3ure process.J Therefore, tne ordinance
prohibits consumption of alcohol within the park boundaries of the
golf course, with the exception of the bar area in the restaurant
which is currently licensed to sell and serve alcoholic beverages.
4. Park ClosurQ
The ordinance requires that the City's parks close one
hour a:fter sundown, with the. exception ot park buildings and
liqhted areas which will still close at 10:30 p... At staff's
request, the ordinance does not change PAMC section ~2.04.1S0(c),
which qives the Director of community services the authority to set
the openinq and closing time in Foothills Park. Should Council
~ere are, however, several related state statutes in effect
that prohibit both alcohol consumption and possession. Under the
california Business and Professions Code, Section 25662 prohibits
possession of alcohol by .inors in public places (misdemeanor);
section 25608 qenerally prohibits consumption end possession of
alcoho ... on school property (misdemeanor).. Under the California
Vehicle Code, section 23221 prohibits alcohol consumption in a
vehicle upon a highway (infraction); Section 23222 prOhibits
possession of an open container of alcohol while driving (infrac
tion); Section 23223 prOhibits possession of an open container in
a vehiCle upon a highway (infraction): and Section 23224 generally
prohibits possession of alcohol In a vehicle if under 21 years of
age (infraction) .. Under the California Penal Code, sc,~tion 647(f)
prohibits public drunkenness (aisdemeanor).
