C.To safeguard the integrity of the city by enabling it to recoup law enforcement costs of identifying, detaining, and transporting minors who violate curfew ordinances to their place of residence; and
D.To reinforce parental authority and supervision and encourage parents and legal guardians to exercise reasonable and necessary care, supervision, and control of their minor children so as to prevent them from committing irresponsible or unlawful acts including involvement in any criminal street gang activity; and
