ITEM NO. 2 CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 8, ENTITLED "POLICE
REGULATIONS," CHAPTER 1, ENTITLED "CIVIL EMERGENCIES" TO
AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO MANDATE EVACUATION IN THE EVENT
A CIVIL EMERGENCY IS PROCLAIMED. (All three readings -pass &
adopt)
Comment: In order to mitigate the damage of a civil emergency, where one
is proclaimed by the Mayor, it is necessary to give the Mayor the authority
to order certain measures be taken by the public, including the evacuation
of all or parts of Iowa City. Due to the current flooding throughout Iowa City
and the region, it is necessary to enact this ordinance in an expedited
manner and under emergency conditions to enable the Mayor to mandate
evacuation in the event that it is deemed advisable and applicable for the
preservation of life or other disaster mitigation, response or recovery. This
ordinance also makes it unlawful for persons to violate such orders. Staff
is requesting this ordinance be given all three readings at this time.
