The City Council finds and determines that it is important for the safety of visitors to our community and to control vice, disturbance, and narcotics offenses to require transient residents of hotels and motels to furnish identification at the time of registration and for operators to have evidence of identification available for reasonable inspection by a peace officer. The City Council further finds that furnishing identification at the time of registration does not impede hotel or motel business and is not overly invasive to patron privacy. (Ord. 2794 § 1, 1999).
