Sideshow Spectator Ordinance
Modifications
1 Hayward’s “Sideshow”
Ordinance
Spectator Ordinance Modifications:
Introduction of an Ordinance
Amending Chapter 4, Article 12 of
the Hayward Municipal Code
2 Summary of Spectator Ordinance Modifications
4 • Include 23109 CVC – definition of a “sideshow”
• Include 23103 CVC – definition of “reckless driving”
• Language highlighting importance of regulating sideshows added to HMC Section 4-12.001 (Purpose)
• Definitions of “sideshow” and “reckless driving” added to HMC Section 4-12.002 (Definitions)
• Definition of “present” as it relates to spectators added to HMC Section 4-12.002 (Definitions)
• Terms “sideshow” and “reckless driving” added to HMC Section 4-12.003 (Potential penalties), 4-12.004 (Circumstances to Prove Violation), and 4-12.005 (Admissibility of Prior Acts) 3 Council Work Session
4 • Held on September 26, 2023
• Council provided feedback about the proposed Spectator Ordinance Modifications
• Council asked several clarifying questions about the proposed Spectator Ordinance Modifications
• Included requests to streamline / remove redundant language
4 Staff Responses
4 • Can the term “donuts” be added to Ordinance?
• Staff prefers to keep language consistent to California Vehicle Code’s definition of “sideshow”.
• What areas are generally impacted?
• Industrial areas, large commercial parking lots, large intersections, and roadways in some residential neighborhoods.
• How do we know who is a spectator?
• HMC Section 4-12.004 (Circumstances to Prove Violation) provides factors for staff to use in determining whether someone is an unlawful spectator, including staff training and experience. Specific intent to spectate must be proven for staff action to take place.
5 Staff Responses
4 • Can we include a public service alternative?
• The City of Hayward does not have a public/community service program. One would need to be created to utilize this option as an alternative to criminal or administrative fines during the administrative hearing process for this ordinance and others. • Can we progressively enforce this ordinance?
• As currently written, the Ordinance allows for progressive enforcement. HPD’s records systems allows for staff to query the history of a suspected violator to determine appropriate enforcement action.
• Does this apply to public and private roadways?
• No. The Ordinance, which mirrors the CVC, only applies to public roads and off-street parking lots.
6 Staff Responses
4 • Does the Ordinance apply to community members who are at a sideshow for the purpose of reporting it?
• No. If a person was temporarily present at a sideshow event for the purpose of gathering information and providing it to HPD, that person would not be subject to enforcement under the Ordinance. Staff recommends that community members stay clear of sideshow events and report them from a distance, to avoid confusion and for their safety.
• Staff was asked to provide data related to this project. • 36 formal calls for service (CFS) since 2017 (however, anecdotally, community feedback and physical evidence support their regular occurrence). • 366 citations issued to spectators under current ordinance since 2012 • Regional Sideshow Enforcement Team participation – data included in staff report 7 Recommendation
4 • That Council introduces an ordinance amending Chapter 4, Article 12 of the Hayward Municipal Code.
