SUBJECT: DAY TIME LOITERING: ORDINANCE NO. 96-15 AND URGENCY
ORDINANCE 96.26
DEPARTMENT: Parks, Recreation and Community Services
At its February 6, 1996 Study Session, staff provided the City Council with an update on their work
in the areas of Parental Responsibility and Day Time Loitering. At that time, the City Council
received staff s report and directed the City Manager to proceed with the development of ordinances
to address these issues.
In response to Council's direction, staff has spent the previous five months investigating actions taken
by other municipalities and researching applicable case law in these matters. While there is still much
work to be done in the area of Parental Responsibility, staff is ready to proceed with the introduction
and proposed adoption of a Day Time Loitering Ordinance.
On July 19, 1996, the City held a Community Partners Luncheon to. discuss issues of importance
within the Santa Clarita Valley. Representatives from the Newhall Municipal Court, the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs and Probation Department, the District Attorney's Office, the William S. Hart,
School District, and City staff gathered to address a variety of issues, including day time loitering (see
attachment "A").
Concerning the matter of day time loitering, or more simply stated "truancy," those present agreed
that the adoption of a Truancy Ordinance (specifically within the City of Santa Clarita) was an urgent
matter that needed to be addressed before the start of the 1996-97 School Year. Through an
ordinance adopted by the County of Los Angeles, local law enforcement officials presently possess
the ability to enforce truancy only in the unincorporated portions of the Santa Clarita Valley.
In contrast, within the incorporated portions of Santa Clarita, presently Sheriff Deputies may address
truancy only through rights granted to them via the State Education Code. Specifically; Article 5
(`Truants"), Section 48265 of the Education Code currently provides the Sheriff's Department with
the ability to deliver any minor to the parent, guardian, or school from which the minor is absent.
While the Education Code allows truant minors to be delivered back to school, it does not provide
for any type of punitive action to be imposed upon the specific individual.
The adoption of a City Ordinance to address the issue of truancy would accomplish three (3)
objectives:
1) The proposed ordinance that is before the City Council has been drafted in a manner that is
consistent in nature to that of the County's. Staff has taken this approach to ensure that the
enforcement of truancy by the Sheriff's Department is uniform throughout the Santa Clarita
Valley.
2) This proposed ordinance is expected to have a positive impact upon attendance throughout
the Hart School District, while reducing the number of students processed through the Hart
District Student Attendance Review Board. In the 180 days following the adoption of an
anti -truancy ordinance by the City of Los Angeles, school attendance at middle schools has
increased by 2.4% and by 2.7% at the high school level.
3) The adoption of a Truancy Ordinance could reduce the number of day time burglaries
occurring in the Santa Clarita Valley. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) reports
that the combined rate of crime for ten offenses most frequently committed by juveniles
declined 9.6% during the same 180 days following the adoption of Los Angeles Anti -Truancy
Ordinance.
As drafted, Santa Clarita's proposed ordinance would give Sheriff Deputies the ability to cite minors
who are found off campus between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. while school is in session.
As staff is fully aware, instances do arise when a student needs to leave campus during school hours
for a medical appointment, a school activity or another valid reason. To address these instances, staff
has provided language in this ordinance that allows students to be off campus during normal school
hours for specific reasons.
If the City Council chooses to adopt this proposed ordinance, staff anticipates that the Sheriffs
Department would conduct enforcement in the following manner:
1) Working together, the Hart School District and the Sheriffs Department would coordinate
a series of "truancy sweeps" during the fust and/or second month of the school year. These
sweeps would be conducted on predetermined dates and would utilize the efforts of both
patrol and school deputies. Ideally, each school would then communicate the results of these
sweeps back to students to create additional awareness for the program.
2) Following these sweeps, staff anticipates that the enforcement of a Truancy Ordinance would
curtail into normal enforcement by patrol deputies. However, the coordination of truancy
sweeps should prove to be an effective tool that the Hart District and Sheriff s Department
may wish to utilize from time to time during the school year.
ity staff and our community partners recognize that the success of this proposed ordinance depends.
n our ability to conduct enforcement in a manner that is both effective and flexible. As the law
.f v.
enforcement agency serving this community, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has been
given the responsibility to accomplish this important objective.
Simply stated, the community has a high level of confidence in our Sheriff's Departments' ability to
enforce this proposed ordinance in a manner that addresses the uniqueness of each specific instance.
Working with the Hart School District, the Sheriffs management team will ensure that all patrol
deputies are made aware of all half -days sessions and "pupil free days" throughout the school year.
The notification process by which the City and the Hart School District will make students and their
parents aware of this proposed ordinance, directly relates to the urgent nature of this matter. At the
recent Community Partners Luncheon, it was agreed that any action taken concerning the issue of
truancy, needed to be done at the beginning of the school year. By waiting until the regular meeting
of the City Council on August 27, 1996, the City and the Hart District would have been unable to
provide adequate notification before the start of the school year.
Pending approval of this ordinance, staff will create an informational flyer that the Hart District will
be able to provide to all students and parents during school registration later this month. Staff will
follow up this initial notification process by conducting follow up meetings with the various Parent
Advisory Committees, and through the local print and radio media.
It is important to recognize that the development of this proposed ordinance is in no way a reaction
to an existing problem within the community. As the local agency that oversees all middle schools
and high schools in Santa Clarita, the Hart School District has an "Apportionment Attendance Rate"
of 99%.
To illustrate this accomplishment, during any given school month approximately 99% of the 12,500
students enrolled in the Hart School District either are in class or have an excused absence. Staff
strictly views this action as a proactive measure to maintain our community's high level of attendance,
while addressing the individuals that account for the additional 1% of all students.
Utilizing Sheriff Deputies, staff anticipates that the enforcement of this ordinance will proceed in the
following manner:
• A student/minor observed off campus, between the hours referenced within the ordinance,
may be detained and questions by Sheriff Deputies;
• If this person is unable to give deputies an adequate explanation why he or she is off campus,
such person may be cited for violation of the City's Day Time Loitering Ordinance;
• Once they have issued a citation, the Sheriff Deputy will transport such person back to their
specific school and must be readmitted by school personnel;
• The citation issued by the Sheriff Deputy (and subsequent mailed information) will direct the
specific student/minor and their parent to appear in Traffic Court.
City staff has worked closely with the Sheriffs Department, the Newhall Municipal Court and the
Hart School District to identify an efficient and cost-effective manner to process individuals cited for
violations of truancy. In discussing this item at the recent Community Partners Luncheon, it was the
consensus of the group that matters relating to truancy should be processed through Traffic Court.
The option to forward these matters through Traffic Court, as opposed to Juvenile Court, was chosen
for two reasons:
The average cost to process a single case through Juvenile Court is approximately $1,600,
while the average cost to process through Traffic Court is approximately $14.00;
2. By processing truancy cases directly.through Traffic Court, the need to meet with either the
Probation Department or the District Attorney's Office is completely bypassed.
Santa Clarita's proposed ordinance requires that a parent or legal guardian appear in Traffic Court
along with their child. As provided in this proposed ordinance, day time loitering is considered an
infraction that is punishable by a fine of up to $250.00. Depending upon the circumstances, the court
may either levy a fine or give the individual an opportunity to have the penalty set aside.
In order to have the penalty set aside, this must be a person's fust violation of this ordinance. If this
is the case, the individual (as well as their parents or legal guardian) must satisfy all requirements
outlined in the City's proposed ordinance. These requirements include no unexcused absences from
school during a period of two months, sixteen (16) hours of community service and attendance in
a court approved parenting course.
City staff has had an opportunity to discuss these provisions with Traffic Court Judge David Beach.
Judge Beach has indicated that these provisions are acceptable to the Court. Further, staff has sent
Judge Beach information describing Santa Clarita's Parenting Program. Staff will work with the
Court to determine the specific number of classes a parent must complete in order satisfy this
requirement.
That the City Council: 1) waive first reading of Ordinance 95-15 and pass on to second reading on
August 27, 1996 and; 2) waive further reading and adopt Ordinance 96-26 as an Urgency Ordinance.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA CLARITA ADDING CHAPTER 11.57 TO THE
SANTA CLARITA MUNICIPAL CODE TO PROHIBIT ANY
PERSON UNDER THE AGE OF 18 AND SUBJECT TO
COMPULSORY SCHOOL FROM LOITERING BETWEEN THE
HOURS OF 8:30 A.M. AND 1:30 P.M. WITH CERTAIN
EXCEPTIONS AND TO AUTHORIZE COST RECOVERY FOR
SAID VIOLATIONS
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that there has recently been
a general increase in crimes, including violent crimes, committed
by juveniles in the Southern California area, as well as
throughout the nation. The City of Santa Clarita has been
affected by such increase in juvenile crimes, particularly with
respect to gang related activities by minors. Gang related
activities are on an upswing in Santa Clarita, and minors between
the ages of 12 and 17 years of age have relatively high rates of
arrests and calls for services regarding their activities; and
WHEREAS, the City Council further finds that the increased
juvenile crime rate is partly attributable to the high truancy
rate observed by our local schools. School authorities are not
prepared to adequately address sophisticated criminal and highly
violent behavior of some juveniles, particularly once they leave
school grounds. Therefore the community has called upon both the
City of Santa Clarita and the Sheriff's Department to use their
limited resources to discourage the resultant gang and other
criminal behavior of these youths;.and
Whereas, at a recent gathering of community leaders
representing local municipal government, the Newhall Municipal
Court, the County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, the
District Attorney's Office and Probation Department, and the
Williams S. Hart`School District, it was agreed that the level of
truancy observed in the City of Santa Clarita warranted the
adoption of a Daytime Loitering ordinance; and
WHEREAS, students who are absent from school without a valid
excuse are denied an education; and
WHEREAS, unsupervised students may involve themselves in
unsafe activities by loitering in residential neighborhoods,
business districts and malls; and
WHEREAS, unsupervised students may engage in criminal
activity to the detriment of the community; and
WHEREAS, unsupervised students become a burden on law
enforcement services personnel who must return them to school,
LAX2:161041.1
wait for parents to pick them up, and investigate any and all
criminal activity related to a student's truancy; and
WHEREAS, the intent of the Council in enacting this
ordinance is to prohibit any minor, under the age of 18, who is
subject to compulsory education or to compulsory continuation,
education, subject to specific exceptions related herein, to
loiter in or upon the public streets, highways, roads, alleys,
parks, playgrounds, or other public grounds between the hours of
8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on days when said student's school is in
session; and
WHEREAS, it is further the intent of the Council to provide
appropriate criminal sanctions.against any minor.who violates
this ordinance by making a violation of this ordinance.an
infraction.
