meanor and that same had to be re-introduced with the penalty
under the violation clause to be an infraction per the city
Attorney.
The city Attorney noted that the areas of anti-cruising

Club requesting approval of controlled cruising on specific
nights in the City.
Louis Molina, 1206-3rd St., representing Gilroy Human
Relations Commission of South County requesting Council table
action on the proposed ordinance based upon more community in-put
to allow for cruisers and the ability to ride around, noting that
possibly the proposed ordinance is unenforceable.
Matthew Drummond, Chestnut Street agreed with the Police
Department view on the matter and agreed that possibly a fee for
lawful assembly of cruising would be acceptable.
Richard Webster, 8530 Culp Dr., noting that he sent a
letter prior to the Garlic Festival to the City informing of the
proposed Saturday Cruise during the Festival and that the Police
Department controlled same well but were not prepared for the
repeat cruise on Sunday and that the City needs to provide the
Police Department with additional funds during these crucial
periods.

ordinance be read by title only. The City Clerk read the title
of the proposed ordinance.
Motion was made by Councilwoman Nelson seconded by
Councilman Gilroy and carried that the proposed ordinance be
published by title and summary. (Noting penalty for violation of
same to be an infraction rather than a misdemeanor.) Councilman

the proposed ordinance has nothing to do with normal local
cruising, just for extreme cases to be at the Police Department's
discretion if necessary.

congestion, further explaining same.
