Those under 12 are allowed to stay out until 9 p.m. on any Friday or Saturday until 6 a.m. the following day.The mayor’s executive order — and the ordinance set to be voted on by the full council — grants exceptions for youths attending “ticketed or sponsored events” as long as they can prove their attendance with a ticket stub or wristband.

Michael Kapustianyk said officers have been making “investigatory” stops upon seeing someone who appears to be a minor.
