Chairman Floyd called the meeting to order. Ms. Floyd stated that Council Members and the County Administration Office had been receiving phone calls regarding Halloween and whether or not "trick or treating" would be observed on Saturday, October 30, 1999, or whether it would be observed on Sunday, October 31, 1999. Ms. Floyd asked Captain Mike Creek of the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department if the Sheriff's Department had a position in this regard. Captain Creek stated that the Sheriff's Office feels it would be more appropriate if Trick or Treating were observed on Saturday evening, and his office would prefer that. Ms. Floyd stated that she understood there were some public safety concerns, and the calls she had received requested that Halloween be observed on Saturday evening.

Motion by Mr. Huckaby to adopt a resolution requesting that Trick or Treating be observed on Saturday, October 30, 1999, rather than Sunday, October 31, 1999. Ms. Floyd stated that this is a request, not a mandate. Motion seconded by Mr. Adams and carried.

Meeting adjourned.
