This letter is to express support for the proposed billboard ordinance. Thanks to great people such
as yourselves who serve this community presently, and those who served this community in the
past that made bold decisions that made the City of Gilroy the great community and tourist
destination it is today. We believe local businesses would benefit from the ability promote their
businesses, goods & services to those who are traveling to, and through Gilroy.
The Dealerships in the Gilroy Auto Mall generate significant sales tax revenue for the city. We
employ local residents, provide a valuable service to the community, and contribute to local
community events, local non-protits, and local charities. An updated billboard ordinance on high -
traffic routes would allow the Gilroy Auto Dealers and local businesses reach a larger audience
and in turn would lead to more business, and more tax revenue for the city.
We know there are concerns about the impact °fa billboard. The opposition of the billboard
ordinance will have information and data about the negative impact a billboard ordinance if past
would present. We believe the benefits of the billboard and what those benefits would provide for
local businesses.
In closing, I would like to thank the Gilroy City Council for considering the proposed billboard
ordinance.
"Drive a little and Save a Lot"
