Agenda Item # 3.1 - Janne Gage | Received 09/19/2022September 16, 2022
To: Members of the Gilroy City Council
Dear Mayor and City Council members,
After reading the article in the Gilroy Dispatch, I was concerned that party politics was possibly
entering into the performances of our council members. I wish to congratulate Council
member Fred Tovar for his efforts to use individual thought in his job as our council member.
As a reminder, Gilroy is a non -partisan city. We should be mindful that party politics should not
enter into any discussion. Fred represents the entire community as should all council members.
It's difficult being ostracized by your political party peers, but Fred was undeterred and
remained a council person for us all, regardless of the backlash to himself. Congratulations to
the city council members who use the individual, collaborative process in getting the work done
for all constituents.
Signed: Jeanne Gage, Gilroy resident for 78 years and tax payer q Lr-6
Note: Please present this note to the City Council to be read at their next meeting.
