Council Members Make Changes To Adult Entertainment Ordinance

With the prospect of court challenges looming, the Dyersville City Council formally approved minor changes to an ordinance that regulates adult entertainment facilities in the community. Unlike earlier this month when multiple speakers addressed the council to express concerns about the fate of the ordinance and their opposition to adult entertainment establishments in the community, Council members unanimously approved the second reading of the amended ordinance. Council members waived the third and final reading during their meeting Monday, meaning the amendments will be implemented upon official publication. In a previous memo to council members, City Administrator Mick Michel recommended changes be made to the ordinance to address concerns regarding potential vagueness and strengthen the ordinance’s constitutionality.
