A. It shall be unlawful for any person, with intent to defraud, to procure food or accommodations from any public establishment without making payment therefor in accordance with his agreement with such public establishment. (Ord. 12, Series 1992)

B. This section shall not apply if the total amount due under the agreement is two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) or more. (Ord. 36, Series 2013)

C. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires:

AGREEMENT WITH SUCH PUBLIC ESTABLISHMENT: Any written or verbal agreement as to the price to be charged for, and the acceptance of, food, beverage, service, or accommodations where the price to be charged therefor is printed on a menu or schedule of rates shown to or made available by a public establishment to the patron and includes the acceptance of such food, beverage, service or accommodations for which a reasonable charge is made.

NOTICE: As used in subsection E of this section, shall be given by posting a printed copy of this section at any conspicuous place within the sleeping accommodations.

PUBLIC ESTABLISHMENT: Any establishment selling or offering for sale prepared food or beverages to the public generally, or any establishment leasing or renting overnight sleeping accommodations to the public generally, including, but not limited to, restaurants, cafes, bars, dining rooms, hostels, boarding houses, hotels, motels, condominiums offered for rent, condo hotels, and rooming houses, unless the rental thereof is on a month to month or longer basis.

D. It shall be evidence of an intent to defraud that food, service or accommodations were given to any person who gave false information concerning his name or address, or both, in obtaining such food, service, or accommodations, or that such person removed or attempted to remove his baggage from the premises of such public establishment without giving notice of his intent to do so to such public establishment or that such person left the public establishment after consuming any food or beverage ordered by such person without paying therefor. These provisions shall not constitute the sole means of establishing evidence that a person accused under this section had an intent to defraud. Proof of such intent to defraud may be made by any facts or circumstances sufficient to establish such intent to defraud beyond a reasonable doubt as provided by law.
