The City Council of the City of Ukiah finds:
1. The Board of Directors of the Ukiah Unified School District has requested the

City of Ukiah.
2. While Ukiah City Code Section 6180 authorizes the City Council to prohibit
skateboards on portions of public property designated by City Council resolution, in
order to make clear that public property includes the grounds and buildings owned by

sites disrupts its educational programs and causes undue damage to school district
