§ 2-613. Findings of fact.

The city finds that a significant number of traffic arrests and traffic accidents in the city involve drivers who were operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic liquors and/or a controlled substance. In addition, the city finds that in traffic accidents involving drivers who were operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic liquors and/or a controlled substance, there is a greater likelihood of personal injury and property damage. In addition, the city finds that because of the foregoing factors, a greater operational and/or financial burden is placed upon the city police and fire departments and rescue services by persons who are operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic liquors and/or a controlled substance.
