Lewd conduct in a public place is generally known to <br />increase incidents of -sexual assaults, to have an adverse impact on minors, to attract other criminal activity to <br />the community, and to encourage the degradation of people. These negative impacts of Lewd Conduct <br />became evident in connection with the adoption of the ordinances contained in Chapter 5.120. of the Everett <br />Municipal Code. In addition, there have been recent public acts of Lewd 'Conduct. in Everett, with negative <br />effects resulting from those public acts. Indecent Exposure can victimize people as well and is therefore <br />appropriate for incorporation into the Everett Municipal Code. The intent of this proposed Ordinance is to <br />prevent the negative effects of such conduct, and regulate the time; place or manner of any expression to <br />prevent those negative effects. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Adopt an Ordinance relating to Lewd Conduct, Amending Ordinance 1145-85 (EMC 10.24) as provided in <br />Section 9 of this Ordinance. <br />11 <br />
