                        · Curfew - On weekends, curfew for 15 year olds and under is midnight. 16-17 year olds is

                        1 p.m. It was suggested that we stamp hands then if youth who are walking home get stopped,

                        officers will know that they are coming from the dance.             

                        · Tickets – How was that handled in the past? Sell at the door? Stamp Hands? We could have

boxes that state the different area schools and have the youth throw half of their ticket stub in the box in order to monitor where the youth are coming from?
