Answering questions asked at the council work session, Ms. Smernoff said the proposed regulations indicate that a person under 18 years of age may sell used merchandise if the person is accompanied by a parent or guardian. People over 18 years of age may sell used merchandise. The proposed regulations indicate that outdoor amusements, such as carnivals, should have a fire safety license that will be issued after the City inspects the premises. Mayor Obie opened the public hearing. Dean Crumroy, P.O. Box 118, Lowell, said he is concerned about the wheel chair coach regulations. He had not seen the proposed ordinance. He asked for time to review and comment on it. John B. Halsey, 272 Centennial Blvd., referred to the social game section of the Uniform Business Practices on page 9 of the proposed ordinance and noted that only poker and gin rummy were identified as social games. Previously, all games in the book by Hoyle were identified as social games. He wondered how sections 3.872, 3.874, and 3.876 on pages 48, 49, and 50 of the proposed ordinance which concern social gambling will be interpreted. Steve Doty, P.O. Box 1302, is president of the American Security Guards, Inc. He referred to section 3.287 on page 9 of the proposed ordinance. He said the industry has been over-regulated and the City has been burdened by applica- tions in the past. He said security services are usually hired by private industries for work on private property. The guards are usually not armed. He recommended that an agency which hires unarmed guards be licensed after proof of a bond and public liability insurance has been shown. Mr. Doty recommended that armed guards be certified by the police department as has been done in the past. He also recommended that the employment and personal history records of guards who are to be on public property be scru- tinized. He said employers should have access to city records or the City process to find out if applicants have been convicted of a crime. Mr. Doty said there were three armed security officers at Valley River Center last Saturday. None of them was licensed. He said the police should enforce the licensing regulations. He emphasized that the licensing of armed guards is very important. MINUTES--Eugene City Council June 10, 1985 Page 4
