Bucket-toss requirements in Baldwin received legal revisions by the Board of Aldermen Thursday.

After approving a new round of revisions for the fundraising activity during March and April, town council member Patrice Picard noted that she has noticed a "lot of young children on the streets" during the functions.

Other aldermen agreed they had either seen or had reported to them younger children participating in a bucket toss. Mayor Wayne Breaux said he has told people to get the younger kids off the street in the past.

"We’re giving them a chance to raise money," Picard said. "I’m not saying anything bad about the parents, but it is the responsibility of the parents, your child needs the money for this organization, you need to be there. Not a child on the street."

The current ordinance only specified "adult supervision at all times."

"That’s too broad," Picard said.

An age limit of 16 years old was considered and adopted by the council under an expanded agenda. A driver’s license is also required for a youngster to participate. Participants must also submit a list of names to the police department beforehand.

Bucket tosses were approved for G.W. Hamilton Elementary on April 20 and the Baldwin Police Reserves on March 2. A request from Foster Elementary was withdrawn.

Also Thursday, vicious dog control in Baldwin was considered by the board.

Aldermen said that there are too many strays in the town and some are purported to be vicious.

The pit bull terrier is completely forbidden by law in Baldwin. The ordinance also mentions "any vicious dog," Breaux noted.

Police have handled numerous complaints when a situation arises which violates town ordinance. There is a part-time dogcatcher in Baldwin as well.

The board agreed to ask legal counsel to review other municipal ordinances on vicious dogs and return at a later date with recommendations.
