Mr. Campbell further stated that the proposal submitted by Lampman and Associates seems very fair and this firm appears to be most qualified. This matter will be placed on next week's agenda. Report, Re: Curfew for Minors Mr. Edgar asked Chief McCloud to present his report, who outlined the reasons stated in his report why the Ordinance pertaining to loitering is a valid one. His recommendation was against any change in said ordinance. Mr. Hirst stated his concurrence from a legal point of view of the validity of this ordinance. Mayor Reid recognized members of the audience who wished to speak on this matter. John Blair, representing Dublin High School's Civics Class? ad- dressed the Council and presented his arguments for the extension of the curfew from 10:00 P.M. until 12:00 Midnight. He advised the Council that his Civics Class distributed over 500 questionnaires to people of all ages asking their opinion on the curfew law. As a result of this questionnaire, the"" class~6f.fered _ ~-resol;'[:Ei:.on t<:Lbe considered by Council approving this curfew change. As most of the students in the audience were residents of Dublin it was acknowledged that the reason for this request was because the Alameda Board of Supervisors, who were first approached by this group, indicated that they would consider a change in their curfew law if the Cities of Pleasanton and Livermore would do so. It was the feeling of Chief McCloud that the County was begging the question to say that they would go along with this change if Pleasanton and Livermore revised their curfew law. Councilman Kinney commended the students for addressing themselves to the problem, but felt that the current policy was fair and necessary for the protection of all citizens. Councilman Herlihy recommended that the City contact the Sheriff's Department on behalf of the students regarding this matter and asked that a follow-up report be submitted to Council from the Police Chief regarding activities in connection with possible curfew violations within six (6) months. Chief McCloud felt that first the students should take this matter up with the County Sheriff's Department and if there were any complaints of harassment" regarding this curfew law, discuss it with them. He also issued the same invitation regarding P1easanton's Police Department and suggested that the Civics Class visit the Department and involve themselves in a participating program regarding the workings of law enforcement.
