THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. In order to provide for the efficient and
orderly con u ct oT-the business of the City of Rosemead, Chapter
7 of Article II of the Rosemead Municipal Code is hereby amended
by adding Section 2702.1 to read as follows:
2702.1 No person, other than an official or
employee of the City of Rosemead, or
service personnel engaged by the City
• of Rosemead acting in the course of
his duties, shall enter into or occupy
any portion of the Rosemead City Hall
other than the entrance hall or
corridor, public restrooms opening
therefrom, Council Chambers and foyer
area providing access to public
counters, except upon express in-
vitation or consent of an authorized
officer or authorized employee of the
City.
The City Administrator shall post or
cause to be posted "Employees Only"
signs at the entrance of those areas
of the City Hall in which members of
• the public are not permitted, except
as provided in this section.
SECTION 2. Recent conduct in and about public buildings
in the State of California, instigated to a large extent by persons
having no proper business thereat, demonstrates clearly that the
operations of the public entities in such buildings which are
essential to the maintenance of police, fire and health protection
of the general public, cannot be conducted without adequate regula-
tion of public access thereto. Interference with the peoples'
business and the performance of essential municipal services is
imminent in the absence of such regulation. This ordinance is
therefore an urgency ordinance, necessary for the preservation of
the public peace, health and safety and shall take effect immediately
upon adoption.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of April, 1969.
