RESOLUTION NO. R2013-107 <br /> RESOLUTION REGARDING HALLOWEEN <br /> TRICK OR TREAT HOURS <br /> WHEREAS, the Council recognizes that the Halloween activity commonly known as <br /> trick or treat is one of long standing tradition in the community; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the Council also recognizes that past experience has shown that there can be <br /> risks attendant thereon particularly to children; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the Council has been made aware of many organized activities and events <br /> being made available in the community as substitutes to be engaged in on Halloween in lieu of <br /> trick or treat; and, <br /> WHEREAS, the Council is reluctant to address such risks by totally prohibiting trick or <br /> treat, believing instead that if proper care, caution and supervision are exercised said risks can be <br /> greatly reduced and curtailed. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL ''OF THE CITY OF <br /> DECATUR, ILLINOIS: <br /> Section 1.
