SUBJECT:title

Halloween Trick or Treat Hours, Tuesday, October 31, 2017 from 4:00pm to 7:30pm.

body

PURPOSE:

To establish the official hours of participation for door to door Halloween Trick or Treat activities.

 

BACKGROUND:

The City of Aurora has used the time frame of 4:00pm to 7:30pm as the official Halloween Trick or Treat hours door to door activities for many past years.

 

DISCUSSION:

The time frame of 4:00pm to 7:30pm is a near middle ground for official door to door Trick or Treat activities in Aurora since there are some surrounding cities/towns/villages that start before 4:00pm and end after 7:30pm.  Once the hours are officially established, information and tips on safety can be provided to the public by City Departments and Divisions.

 

IMPACT STATEMENT:

Increased vigilance for safety by the Aurora Police and Fire Departments for kids and families participating in Trick or Treat activities.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS:

 Please forward to the Government Operations Committee for review/approval.
