Council discusses enforcing juvenile curfew under Ordinance 2‑10
Summary
Council members urged checking sheriff call logs and beginning enforcement after residents reported minors on the streets past curfew; staff confirmed the ordinance sets 10 p.m. weekday and midnight weekend curfew hours.
Council members told the meeting they have received reports that minors have been on the streets as late as 2:00 a.m. and said the town should confirm whether calls were made to law enforcement and begin enforcement of the local juvenile‑curfew ordinance if necessary.
A council member recited the ordinance’s general hours, noting, “we say they're supposed to be off the streets at 10:00 on weekdays, Fridays and Saturdays, midnight,” and urged staff to review sheriff call logs and coordinate with law enforcement. Council discussion emphasized that enforcement procedures, not arrests of juveniles, are typically handled through parental contact and warnings before more severe penalties.
No formal ordinance amendment was proposed during the meeting; council asked staff to report back with any available call logs and recommended next steps.
