The Dalles City Council has sent an ordinance adopted in late 2012 requiring second hand dealers to report merchandise acquired that was valued at over 25 dollars back to the committee that developed it to determine if it has been effective and whether it should be continued.  The ordinance contained language calling for the review.  Mayor Steve Lawrence says the intent of the ordinance was to help police track stolen goods, but whether that has been effective is questionable, noting second hand dealers who testified to the Council each had only one instance where the police had inquired about an item.  Lawrence says the question for the committee will be to decide whether the ordinance needs to be tweaked or is necessary at all.
