VISITORS: Mrs. Johnny Mae Harper, representing residents of Arbor Elms complex in East Pasco, complained of vandalism, thievery and drag racing on Alton & Wehe. She cited that most of the damage and harrassment is done by minors under the age of 16, and asked the council's assistance in establishing a curfew of some type in order to alleviate some of the problem. The staff reported that we had a curfew of 9:30 P.M. for 14 - 16 yrs.of age and 11:30 P.M. for ages 16 - 18 without permission or accompanied by parents. Councilman Wilkins expressed concern to delegation in attendance and felt there was no need to draft a new curfew Ordinance, merely enforce the one we now have. Several ladies in the audience commented on acts of roof burning, and children coming over from the Navy Homes area to compound the problem. They, too, stated that the youngsters ranged in age from 10 - 16 years of age and were loitering around until as late as 2:.00 •A.M. Jerry Bennett, complex manager, stated they had hired a security guard and dog in an attempt to stop the vandalism; however, the children had pretty much figured out what times the guard made his rounds and he was unable to catch or identify them. E.M. Magee suggested that the child (when caught) be sent to Juvenile Home and the parents 'sent -to jail=as a means of correcting the situation. He further stated that it was getting to be a situation of "do you know where your parents are" rather than "do you know where your children are." Councilman Wilkins again reminded the audience that as humans, we often time don't want to get involved when asked specific -questions by Police officers; therefore, it would take the cooperation of everyone if we did not want to allow people to break the law and then be set free. He again urged strict enforcement of present curfew. A.E. Pitts and Archie Hunt, both residents of 1900 block on West Agate Street, asked the status of North Chase Avenue as a truck route. Mr. Winegar replied that this particular item of business had been scheduled for Workshop Meeting of February 26, 1973, and invited both gentlemen to attend.
