Please schedule this ordinance on the Council agenda for hearing/adoption at their next general meeting. Th� attached ordinance, as prepared by the City Attorney, varies from the original draft in a couple of respects. 'I 1. In Section 140.06; all references to only non-profit, civic, educational, charitable, religious or patriotic organizations or adjacent businesses as being eligible for skyway permits to the apparent exclusion of all other organizations, groups and businesses; have been deleted. The City Attorney advises I such language is contrary to the 'deprivation of rights' provision under Minnesota law and the equal protection laws guaranteed by the United States constitution. �I 2. In Section 140.09; all references attempting to restrict, restrain or otheYwise control content or subject matter of commercial speech and/or advertising chiefly to do�antown community, cultural and civic events/activities; have also I been dele�ed. Again such language is viewed as legally not enforceable under the freedom of speech and expression guarantees extended by the Minnesota and United States constitutions. Following adoption of the amended skyway conduct ordinance, a skyway governance commi.ttee will be formed to adopt written rules and regulations concerning skyway us� and related matters.

Minnesota 55102 612-298-5121 GEORG� LATIMER MAIYOR 1Tuiy .16, 1987 - ��To : Darold McM an From: Jim Hart �Re: Skyway Conduct Ordinance Amendment iPer your request find enclosed a draft Amendatory Ordinance amending Chapter 140 of the Saint Paul Legislative Code relating to Skyway 'Conduct. This draft Ordinance generally follows the text of the recommended Iamendment attached to the Skyway Policy Plan which Plan approved 'by the City Council on March 10, 1987 , C.F. No. 87-273 with two excevtions . These are in Section 140.06 wherein the third line of the recommended amendment has been deleted from the draft � IAmendatorv Ordinance and in Section 140.08 wherein the second 'sentence has been recorded, subsection (1) has been deleted and the re�aining subsections renumbered. IThese chan�es are the result of a recent restatement of office 'policy requiring attorneys in reviewing draft ordinances to be concerned ��ith the enforceability of the ordinance when future misderneanor nrosecutions would be brought under the ordinance. IThe deleted sentence in Section 140 .06 in authorizing permits to ' certain non-profit organizations or adjacent businesses to the exclusion of other organizations and businesses would be contrary , to tne deprivation of rights provision of Article I , Section 2 lof the Minnesota Constitution and the equal protection of the laws clause of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. These constitutional provisions require that ordinances must be . I, general in their nature, impartial in their operation and effect ' and must not discriminate in favor of or against any class of persons or property. Distinction or classifications can be sus- , tained only if the classifications serve a legitimate govern- 'Imental objective, the distinctions bear a reasonable and sub- stantial relationship to that governmental objective, and the distinctions are narrowly drawn to accomplish this purpose. Nothing in the Skyway Policy Plan articulates a public purpose I, objective served by the classifications made by the deleted ' sentence. �I i . •• • • . . 1 I ' r I . . I�aro 1 d McMahan �'age Two , .JuZy 16 , 1987 �reedom of speech and expression guaranteed by Article I , Section 3 bf the Minnesota� and the First Amendment to the United States Constitutions may not be abridged or restrained by legislation.. Ordinances dealing with the control of public speech and expression �in public places may only prescribe reasonable time, manner or �lace restrictions on protected speech or communication. Such ordinance, generally, may not restrict the subject matter or content of such protected speech. In this regard "coaunercial speech" or 'advertising is protected as well as other forms of speech. !Proposed Section 140. U8(1) would restrict the content and subject �atter of protected commercial speech. ;Lastly, I would observe that in the retail area of the World Trade ;Center there will be significant public space in addition to WTC 'skyway pedestrian passageways which may fall within the definition 'of Pedestrian Skyway System or Pedestrian Malls under the Amenda- �tory Ordinance. Whether such space will be proposed for extended ;retail sales usage under lease as is the case in Town Square public ;space governed by the Park Ordinance (Chapter 170 Legislative Code) , or is to be subject to the restricted retail sales use of Chapter '140 as amended by the draft Ordinance is an issue for consideration. ! Z would be happy to �meet with you and Task Force representatives �regarding this memo and the changes in the draft Ordinance. � Enc. � , � I i ' � i 4 I '.� • , . y�) / - //? � I I A G E N D A M A T E R I A L S _ ------------- I - _.._ __._ _. . . ._ �OUNCIL ID�� ,�-/ DATE RECEIVED �,Z � AGENDA DATE AGENDA I TEM �� SUBJECT r �j � //� � �� c-�-�'� C�f -�.- s �RIGINATOR _ ��,,�.�_,��.,� CONTACT I�ESEARCH STAFF ASSIG�tED �� DATE SENT TO CLERK 1 r �,r, � � �OUNCIL ACTION MASTER FILE iNFO AVAILABLE � � ; � � ti--_. � ' . �1 � �� .. .��.. �� . �!� `�- �n �6n J I� pRD'IRESOL. �� DATE FILE CLOSED R , ;� , I ' ,_ . � , �... �.� � � ' I (r �;�f,, �` �- . � �; , � - � I : i , i . + : I �,�
