ORDINANCE NO. 498
AN ORDINANCE ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 612 TO THE
SHOREWOOD CITY CODE REGARDING SOCIAL HOSTS
Section 1 . City Code Title 600 (Public Safety) is hereby amended to add:
"CHAPTER 612
SOCIAL HOST
Section
612.01 Findings and Purpose
612.02 Definitions
612.03 Prohibited Acts
612.04 Exceptions
612.01 FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
Subd.1. The city council finds that:
a. Consumption of alcohol by persons under the age of 21 is harmful to those
persons and constitutes a potential threat to public health from injuries related
to alcohol consumption, such as alcohol overdose or alcohol- related traffic
collisions.
b. Alcohol is also an addictive drug which, if used irresponsibly, could have
drastic effects on those who use it as well as those who are affected by the
actions of an irresponsible user.
C. As a result, gatherings held on private or public property where alcohol is
possessed or consumed by persons under the age of 21 should be prevented as
much as possible.
d. Gatherings involving underage possession and consumption often occur
outside the presence of parents or other responsible adults. However, there are
times when a parent or other adult is present and condones the activity, and in
some circumstances provides the alcohol.
e. Although furnishing alcohol to an underage person is a crime, it is difficult to
prove, and an ordinance is necessary to help further combat underage
consumption.
f A deterrent effect will be created by holding a person criminally responsible
for hosting a gathering where underage possession or consumption occurs.
Subd. 2. The purpose of this section is to discourage underage possession and consumption
of alcohol, even if done within the confines of a private residence, and to hold
persons criminally responsible who host gatherings where persons under 21 years of
age possess or consume alcohol, regardless of whether the person hosting the
gathering supplied the alcohol or was present.
Subd. 3. The city council intends that this ordinance should not target parents who may have
alcoholic beverages on their premises but who have issued a standing order that
alcohol is not to be consumed by underage persons on those premises.
612.02. DEFINITIONS.
Subd. 1. For purposes of this section, the following terms have the meanings given:
a. ALCOHOL means ethyl alcohol, hydrated oxide of ethyl, or spirits of wine,
whiskey, rum, brandy, gin, or any other distilled spirits including dilutions and
mixtures thereof from whatever source or by whatever process produced.
b. ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE means alcohol, spirits, liquor, wine, beer, and
every liquid or solid containing alcohol, spirits, wine, or beer, and which
contains one -half of one percent or more of alcohol by volume and which is fit
for beverage purposes either alone or when diluted, mixed, or combined with
other substances.
C. GATHERING means a group of three or more persons who have assembled
or gathered together for a social occasion or other activity.
d. HOST means to aid, conduct, sponsor, organize, supervise, control, or allow a
gathering.
e. PARENT means a person having the following relationship to a juvenile:
(1) a natural parent, adoptive parent, or step - parent;
(2) a legal guardian; or
(3) a person to whom legal custody has been given by order of a court.
f PERSON means an individual, partnership, co- partnership, corporation, or an
association of one or more individuals. PERSON does not include a city,
county, or state agency.
g. PREMISES means any location, including a home, yard, farm, field, land,
apartment, condominium, hotel room, or other dwelling unit, or a hall or
meeting room, park, or any other place of assembly, public or private, whether
occupied on a temporary or permanent basis, whether occupied as a dwelling
or specifically for a party or other social function, and whether owned, leased,
rented, or used with or without permission or compensation.
h. UNDERAGE PERSON means an individual under 21 years of age.
612.03. PROHIBITED ACTS
Subd. 1. It is unlawful for a person to host or allow a gathering on any premises if:
a. the person knows that alcohol or alcoholic beverages will be present; and
b. the person knows that an underage person will attend, or is likely to attend; and
C. the person fails to take reasonable steps to prevent the possession or
consumption of alcoholic beverages by an underage person; and
d. an underage person consumes an alcoholic beverage, or possesses an alcoholic
beverage with the intent to consume it, at the gathering.
Subd. 2. Examples of reasonable steps include:
a. directing, on a one -time basis or as a standing order, that no consumption of
alcohol and alcoholic beverages is allowed; or
b. controlling access to alcohol and alcoholic beverages; or
C. checking identification of attendees to determine age; or
d. supervising the activities of underage persons at the gathering either in person
or through a responsible adult.
Subd. 3. A person is not criminally responsible under this ordinance if the person does not
know that a gathering will occur, or does not know that alcoholic beverages will be
present, or does not know that an underage person will be or is likely to be present.
However, if a person has the knowledge specified in paragraph 1 above, a person
who hosts a gathering does not have to be present at the gathering to be criminally
responsible.
Subd. 4. A person is criminally responsible for violating paragraph 1 above if the person
intentionally aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires with or otherwise procures
another to commit the prohibited act.
612.04. EXCEPTIONS.
Subd. 1. This section does not apply to conduct of an underage person that is permitted by
his or her parent and occurs in the parent's household.
Subd. 2. This section does not apply to a legally protected religious observance.
Subd. 3. This section does not apply when an underage person is lawfully in possession of
