(FIRST CONSIDERATION) Comment: On June 21, 2005, Council passed Ordinance No. 05-4162 that, in part, enhanced the penalties for second and subsequent convictions for possession of alcohol under the legal age (PAULA).

In other words, the previous PAULA conviction need not be in Johnson County for violation of the City ordinance but could be in Linn County for violation of state law.
