ORDINANCE NO. 916
AN ORDINANCE OP THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA AMENDING THE AZUSA MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADD-
ING TO PART 3 OF CHAPTER 2 A NEW SECTION 4224
RELATING TO LONELY HEARTS CLUBS AND BUSINESSES
OF LIKE NATURE.
The City Council of the City of Azusa does ordain as
follows :
SECTION 1. The Azusa Municipal Code is hereby amended
by adding to Part 3 of Chapter 2, a new Section 4224 reading as
follows :
"SECTION 4224. LONELY HEARTS CLUBS AND BUSINESSES
OF LIKE NATURE PROHIBITED.
No person shall operate a lonely hearts
club, personal introduction service, marriage bureau,
escort service or other business of a like nature in
the City."
SECTION 2. This ordinance hereby is declared to be
urgently needed for the immediate preservation of the public peace,
health and safety, and a statement of facts constituting its urgency
is as follows :
Certain persons seek to operate a lonely hearts club
within the City. The City Council, having been advised that a
business license for such activity must be issued since there is
no prohibition of same at present, and having been further advised
that clubs and services of a similar nature have been and are used
as a method to further prostitution, immoral conduct and as a
device to defraud and blackmail innocent persons, is of the 'opinion
that prohibition of such clubs and similar activities and businesses
is necessary to protect the City and its citizens. The City Council
further believes that in the event this ordinance is not adopted
immediately, there will be established and maintained in the City
at least one and possibly more lonely hearts clubs to the detriment
of the City and its citizens. It therefore is required that the
immediate preservation of public peace, health and safety require
that the foregoing section be added to the Azusa Municipal Code
immediately.
SECTION 3. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption
of this ordinance and cause the same to be published in the manner
required by law and the same shall become effective upon its adop-
tion.
Passed and approved this 2nd day of January
1968.
