regarding contr~~ts, -hiring, etc. It was felt the-joliiF Housing' Commi ttee would certainly look at all legal aspects.

Co~til1Ua-tiori-of-D1.scussl~n're: ' , Code'Restrictlon Prohlbltlng'Persons under 'Age of 21 to Sell Merchandise to Dealers in Used Merchandise- City Attorney opinion had ,been distributed to counci-T' explaining that legailrj an amendment would be acceptable 'that would lower the age to 18. City Manager indicated that the Police Department does not resist that change. John Rutledge of the Police Department explained that, if the provision calling 'for a second-hand store, to hold goods for 7 days were to be deleted or reduced as to time span, the Police Department could not operate with that provision. There would be no objection to reducing the age limit, however. . Councilman Wood wondered whether it is appropriate for the Council to restrict a .' person's legal rights. Art Johnson of the City Attorney's office said that is 'not uncommon; for instance, public policy determines the age for driving. The Council of course could determine that there are valid considerations for not allowing minors to deal in used merchandise. Such a restriction would then be constitutionally valid. Mrs. Beal moved seconded by Mr. Williams that the Council request the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance change lowering the 21-year limit for buying and selling Comm merchandise to 18. 7/11/73 Ap;prove Ed Kenyon of the Register-Guard wondered whether the 7-day restriction would ~.. i - ~ , apply to swaps.

Vote was taken on the motion, which carried unanimously. Councilman McDonald inquired about transfer of title to merchandise in swaps which might be made by ,someone ,under 21. ,He felt ,this ,situation would open the dOQr for trading of any type merchandise. Manager answered that merchandise owned by an 18-year-old and swapped would presumably constitute a firm contract. It would 'apply: to used merchandise -' only. ,- -" ... C.

F. 'Parade' Route -problems'- Cou'ncilman Murray ~~ivfsed th~t 'h~ hils 'recelved'compla'ints .' . 'involving parades, particularly the Rodeo parade held last Saturday. The complaints fall into two categories: Before and after the parade, horses are ,wa~~ed to and from their destinations on residents' sidewalks, leaving piles of/ ev~i!!f!nce. He feels that any law on the subject should be enforced; and, if no " law exists, one should be considered; the other problem has to do with the ' Comm parking of cars on parade routes, blocking the view of those sitting on curbs.': 7/11~73 A parking prohibition should be considered.
