I am the oldest of 2 children in my family. I will be the first one in my family to attend college and pursue a higher education after high school. My parents are mono - lingual Spanish Speakers and I help them a lot with daily tasks. I have some community experience but would like to gain more through the Gilroy Youth Commission. I have been a volunteer at San Ysidro Park for about 6 months and an active community member in the San Ysidro Nueva Vida neighborhood group. I have volunteered in Day of the Child, Party in the Park along with other smaller community events in Gilroy. I have also volunteered at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, and in my church, St. Mary. Why would you like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission? I would like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission to create opportunities so that youth don't fall into doing bad things. Due to lack of opportunities, some youth in Gilroy look to finding things to do but often times they are not smart things. I would like to help youth be more engaged in the community so that the community can be a better place. What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address this problem? Some of the biggest problems facing youth in Gilroy are gangs, drugs, gun violence, and violence in general. One of the steps to take to address the problem is to create more opportunities for youth to be part of positive things to do.

If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address the problem? I do tend to be more shy when it comes to public speaking, but in the Gate program we do have a plethora of oral projects. When this fact is put into consideration, it becomes obvious that as time progresses I will reach a higher level of performance.

At school, I hold the position of President of the Yearbook Club. Currently, I am also ASB Vice President of GECA. Last year, I was also apart of the tutoring program at GECA, so I would help each grade level in any subject they were having trouble with. Throughout the five years that I have lived here, I have helped in the senior center that is close to the library. In regards to the library, I have also been able to help there as well. I go to church here in gilroy and I enjoy being able to give my time to volunteering with children at my church. Not exactly in Gilroy, but I do have prior experience working with organizations and groups. When I was living in San Diego, I helped out during the week at an organization for children. We would teach kids about the Gospel and give them different life lessons. At the same time, because they were children, we would add in some fun activities to the mix. At the moment, I am working with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society with a subdivision that they have called Students of the Year. It’s this amazing program where I will be able to raise money for children and teens who are going through blood cancer. All the money that is raised will go into research for blood cancer and therapies for the kids who are going through this right now. I am meeting with people and business to acquire fundraisers, sponsorships, or some type of help to raise money for the children with blood cancer. I am having meeting and talking to people, asking for help to make sure I am able to have a great fundraiser. My ultimate goal is to raise $23,000 towards the foundation. Why would you like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission? ​I would like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission because I believe I will be able to help in giving insight to the teen issues that are happening around me. Before, I never knew that there was such a commission where issues facing teens could be talked about and resolved in some way, but I know about it now. Being around these problems, I have first hand knowledge about what is going on around me and what is happening with the teens around me. I don’t just want to be the person who gossips about other people's problems or who just makes matters worse, I want to help solve the issues and hopefully help some people make their life better than before. I want to be the voice for those who feel as through they don’t have the power to do it themselves. I want to be the one to listen to their matters and to let them know that such things can be fixed if I am allowed to do so. I don’t think anyone should be brought down by an issue that could have been solved or prevented. I want to be appointed because I want to be able to help the youth of gilroy with any problems that could be surfacing up by showing them that there are people who are here to help them. A.a Packet Pg. 15 Attachment: YC Applications 2018 (1813 : Youth Commission Interviews) What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address this problem?​ ​I believe the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy is drugs. I think with the whole glorification of it seen in movies, teens think it’s okay to do it and a great experience. Another thing is when you see movies of people who go into high school or who go off to college, there is a scene where someone throws a party and everyone either gets high on drugs or is intoxicated. They glorify this act so then teens assume it’s okay and want to try it soon, but what they don’t understand is the severe negatives that come with doing so. With the legalization of weed, teens might assume that it’s okay to have such drugs in your possession and to even take those drugs from time to time. I think teens should be taught the negative outcomes that come with taking drugs that way they are more cautious of the decisions they make and understand the effects they are making on their life. If I were appointed, the steps I would take to address this problem would be to make flyers, addressing the issue and the alternative routes you should take, and I’d post them around not just high school, but middle school campus to make it be known that this is a problem happening in most school campuses. I think it would also be a good idea to go and visit middle schools and high schools and talk to them about the dangers of taking drugs. Two years ago, while I was at GECA, a women who worked with kids to try to help them with their drug problems, came to my school and talked to us about how drugs can affect you and the issues behind it. She came to my school and talked about what causes someone to go to the measures of taking drugs and the things we should do instead. That is a step I would like to take to address the issues surrounding drugs. In order to do this, I would first talk to my GECA principle and ask her how and where I could find the women that taught us those lessons. Then, once I have been given that information, I would go meet with her and talk to her about giving her message to other high schools and middle schools in the area. If she agrees, and I hope she does, I would meet up with the principles of the high schools and middle schools here in gilroy to let them know about the program and how it would be beneficial to the school environment and students. If the school officials say yes to doing the program, I would then give them the information, such as the women's phone number and what she does, and let them call the program so they can finalize and set up how they will work this into their schedule. In doing so, teens are going to able to understand the issues behind drugs and hopefully those who are doing drugs, decide to stop and do something more beneficial for their body and mind. I think it will also allow teens to see both sides of the story so they can make wise decisions on how they want their life to be geared. Reapplying Commissioners: What can you do to improve your previous performance on the Commission? ​Before I became apart of the youth commission, I didn’t really understand what the youth commission really did for the city or what it’s role was. I only understand the basic information based on the flyer about the Youth Commission and the website, but I didn’t know what programs they were apart of or what they had the power of doing. Knowing all of this information and being more aware A.a Packet Pg. 16 Attachment: YC Applications 2018 (1813 : Youth Commission Interviews) of what the youth commission does, I would improve my previous performance on the Commission by communicating more information in a better manner to the teens of Gilroy. Before I was on the commission, I never knew about it and I know I would have liked to. I would have wanted to be apart of the meetings and future discussions going on, to learn more about what is happening with teens in gilroy and to also have a say in what was going on because I, myself, am a teen of Gilroy. I think it’s great that we have the commission to help do this, but I think getting information from teens outside of the commission is also helpful. However, the problem with that is that most people don’t even know what the Youth Commission is or does, and they don’t know when they meet or if they can even be apart of the meetings. I would improve my previous performance on the Commission by announcing to my friends, classmates, and other teens about the what the youth commission is and how they can help, even if they are not a member. Also, I would let them know what days the Youth Commission has meetings and when they can come to the meetings. That way, we are able to gain even more perspectives and new ideas. On top of that, teens are getting a say in what they believe would be the best thing to focus on overall because they might know something that the members of the Youth Commision don’t. Being able to consider what they have to say can be beneficial to gain more knowledge and information on what is happening with the youth of Gilroy. *​All Commission, Board and Committee applications are a public record Mail or email your application to: Shawna Freels, City Clerk City of Gilroy 7351 Rosanna Street, Gilroy, CA 95020 shawna.freels@ci.gilroy.ca.us The City of Gilroy accepts applications at any time and will keep them on file for one year.

I have volunteered at Glen View Elementary School for their Power School Program. I am currently the vice president of the National Honor Society at Christopher High School. Through this club, I have done much community service, like clothing drives for those in need in our community. Other than just the local community, I am part of a program in Santa Clara called Milal Mission (The Wheat Mission) and through this program I spend time with children with special developmental. Through all these different organizations, I have a growing desire to serve many more people, especially those of my local A.a Packet Pg. 22 Attachment: YC Applications 2018 (1813 : Youth Commission Interviews) community. Why would you like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission? I would like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commision because I want to be more in touch with the local community that I have grown up in. I would like to find bigger ways to serve the City of Gilroy and I feel that being appointed to the Youth Commission would help very much. I also want to develop more relationships with the people of Gilroy, so that I may be able be more engaged with the city. What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address the problem? I personally believe that the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy is their disengagement towards the local community. I think a lot of youth in Gilroy today tend to have less desire to serve the local community and be more involved with the organizations of our city. If I was appointed, I would bring this issue to the council and work with them to possibly organize more events and other opportunities aimed at the youth of Gilroy, so that they will be more engaged and involved with our city. Some events may give opportunities for us, the youth, to serve the Gilroy veterans or the senior centers in our town.

I have tutored younger children at the Si Se Puede Community center located my old low-income housing complex on I.O.O.F. avenue. I tutored a total of 9 children ages 8-12 for two years because they were very behind in school and I wanted to help them with reading and their homework. I have also helped out in food banks at Rebekah’s Children and at my School South Valley Middle School for the last three years. Furthermore, I am a current youth volunteer at San Ysidro Park. I have helped the recreation department with special events and community celebrations for the last year and a half. I also try to be active at my school. I am currently the President for CJSF( California Junior Scholarship Federation). As a club we help out at school events and community events like the Tamale festival and e Christmas Tree Lighting. Apart from that, I participate in School programs. Aside from having A.a Packet Pg. 24 Attachment: YC Applications 2018 (1813 : Youth Commission Interviews) experience in community volunteering and school activities I also have experience in balancing my academic and sports. I am currently the captain for Cross Country, Volleyball, Track and Field and I am a member of the school’s band. Lastly, I earned the the World Champion title in Stick Fighting this summer in Portugal. Why would you like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission? I would like to join the commission because for me, as a youth, making a difference is important and working together is key. Growing up, my parents taught me that working hard and giving back to the community is important and that is why I would like to join the Youth Commission. I want to be able to contribute back to Gilroy and be a positive youth role model for other younger youth and my sisters. I want to show that being active and giving back is important for all youth. Only working together as a community and as youth, we will be able to solve some of the issues that we have as a community in Gilroy. What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address the problem? The biggest issue that youth are currently facing in Gilroy is their lack of interest in education. Many youth don’t understand that education is important and that once they fall behind it is very hard for them to be able to catch up. Some youth don’t believe that they can succeed in Gilroy due to their backgrounds and where they live. There are also some youth that are trying their best to improve but don’t get the right help to be able to succeed. More empowering youth programming is needed for youth to be able to believe that they can do more. If I am appointed to the youth commission, I will work to bring more youth programming out to the community and schools to help empower youth to help them believe that they can achieve more. There is currently not enough youth programs that empower and mentor youth in the community. Many of the current programs available for youth are not centered in mentoring and empowering youth and that would make a huge difference. If I’m appointed I would work on finding successful adult mentors to teach workshops that empower youth. Another idea that I have to address this issue is to host a youth conference for all middle school and high school students in Gilroy that would be centered around youth empowerment.

I am also Vice President of the California Scholarship Federation group(scholars for service), and student ambassador at MVCS. I have been worship team leader for 5 years, and peer tutor for 2 years. Additionally, I was the recipient of 4 Christian Character Awards and even started a girls group on campus for Christians seeking fellowship.

I'm currently working with a vascular surgeon to publish a medical research paper as well. I have a heart for service and enjoy working at Kumon Learning Center(Morgan Hill) as a math and reading tutor. Why would you like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission? I would like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commision because I believe that it is extremely important for the youth to be involved in politics, especially females. I also want to help create a culture in which diversity among teens in which diversity is celebrated, whether that be in sports, academics, or the arts. I strongly believe that Gilroy has the potential to become a town in which the youth is known for being well rounded, motivated, and most importantly, kind. It would be an honour to be part of a team who could do this. What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address the problem? The Youth in Gilroy tend to be very individualistic. We were born into a time where competition is encouraged. Healthy competition is often very helpful, but from what I've noticed, the individualistic mindset here is harmful. To change this, I would propose planning monthly city-wide service opportunities. It would give teens a chance to help others while bonding with friends. These activities could include collecting and wrapping gifts for underprivileged children, free tutoring, and making care packages for those in shelters. These activities would not only help teens think of others in the community but also help build healthy relationships with their classmates, as they would be working alongside one another.

I have one sister that is in the 11th grade and we will be first generation college students. Both of my parents came to the US at a very young age and work very hard to provide for our family. My parents have taught me to be humble, hardworking, and to not give up on anything that I set my mind to. I am dedicated and I hope to be able to give back to my community through the City of Gilroy Youth Commission. I have experience in volunteering with the City of Gilroy Recreation Department at San Ysidro Park in special community events. In the community events, I have engaged in leading children activities and helped set up and breakdown. I also have experience in volunteering at St. Mary Church leading and supporting their special events and recruitment efforts. I hope to be appointed to continue my community involvement. Why would you like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission? I would like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission because I want to help make changes that can be made in the community for youth. There is a lot being done already but I believe there is more to be done. I would also like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission because there is more that can be done for Latino Youth in Gilroy. What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address this problem? One of the biggest issues facing youth in Gilroy is the growth and expansion of social media and access to the internet. The internet helps a lot but it also bring a lot of problems with it. There are a lot of resources in the internet that youth can use to work for projects or for research but there are also other items that youth are being able to access. Some of the items that youth can have easily access content with violence and drug that perpetuates and encourages negative behavior in our community. If appointed, I would focus on outreach and A.a Packet Pg. 28 Attachment: YC Applications 2018 (1813 : Youth Commission Interviews) educating youth and parents about the negative consequences of violence and drug usage. I would also focus on informing parents on what signs to look for in youth that might be using the internet to access deconstructing material.

Owens Gilroy Early College Academy Please list your background, including community service within the City of Gilroy, and any prior experience with groups or organizations that would qualify you for this Commission: For the school years of 2016 -2017 and 2017 -2018, 1 was elected as president of student council at Gilroy Prep School, where I helped the students and staff unite as a community. In turn, this fostered a healthy environment where students could easily learn and grow. The summer after my eighth grade promotion, I volunteered in the classrooms where summer school was held and helped the teachers prepare for next year, as well as helping the students who were attending summer school. I also volunteered at the 2018 Gilroy Garlic Festival along with participating in the Fourth of July Parade in Morgan Hill. I was part of a group representing the Indian Association of the South Santa Clara County, which is a non - profit organization. Furthermore, I took part in the "Leaders on Loose" training and volunteered at the Gilroy Youth Soccer League games. Why would you like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission? I would like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission because I want to be a voice for the youth of Gilroy. I want to support and help the City Council develop programs for the youth to encourage them to pursue their interests and hobbies. I want the youth of Gilroy to be both physically and mentally strong, which will lead them to flourish professionally and personally in the future. As a member of the Gilroy Youth Commission, I will have the opportunity to make a difference in the Gilroy youth community. What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address this problem? From my experience, I feel that the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy is mental and physical fitness. If I am appointed, I want to create programs and workshops to help build mental toughness, as mentality affects everyday actions. As Babe Ruth once said, "It's hard to beat a person who never gives up." Physical fitness ties into your mental well being, so it is A.a Packet Pg. 30 Attachment: YC Applications 2018 (1813 : Youth Commission Interviews) important to bring awareness about the benefits of regular exercise and healthy eating habits. Additional issues that are related to youth health include substance abuse and stress (family issues, school, financial issues, etc). These are some of the issues that today's youth are facing and I want to help develop programs to raise awareness and provide coping strategies or solutions to these problems.

Email address Grade 11 School Dr. T.J Owen's Gilroy Early College Academy Please list your background, including community service within the City of Gilroy, and any prior experience with groups or organizations that would qualify you for this Commission: I have been regularly doing community service within Gilroy since I was 13. At first, I worked with the theater arts program at Rucker Elementary, where I regularly volunteered at rehearsals to help students in memorizing their lines and on performance nights to make sure they had the assistance they needed. Since then, I have been working with youth in classrooms at both Rucker Elementary and Brownell Middle School. More recently, I have been volunteering in the office of Brownell on any days I have off that they don’t as well as several days during the summer. I also am a counselor at the yearly summer programs for kids held at my music studio. I have also volunteered at the Gilroy Public Library as both a librarian’s assistant and leader in the robotics program for kids attending summer school. Apart from working with younger children, I am a part of my school’s Interact club, a service club with the motto “Service Above Self.” I served as a club officer my sophomore year, and am now the vice president of that club. Additionally, I am serving as the 2018-2019 A.a Packet Pg. 32 Attachment: YC Applications 2018 (1813 : Youth Commission Interviews) International Project Coordinator of our Interact District 5170, where I will be creating the yearly project that 7,000+ Interactors in the Bay Area will be working towards through fundraising and service efforts. This year, I am also serving in my school’s ASB serving as the spirit commissioner. Overall, I am very passionate in service and leadership, which is a part of my drive to make a difference in my community for the better. Why would you like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission? I am very passionate about helping those less fortunate than I am, whether it be through advocating for them or directly aiding them. That being said, I feel that holding a position on Gilroy’s Youth Commission would allow me to put my passion and creativity to use in making a difference in Gilroy’s youth’s lives. Additionally, I believe being a part of Gilroy’s Youth Commission would give me the opportunity of becoming more familiar with my community and learning how my efforts would be most impactful. I strongly feel that my assets in communication, organization, and teamwork will allow me to make a valuable impact in our community through working with my team that would be the Gilroy Youth Commission and creating events and projects that will benefit the youth of Gilroy. I am a firm believer that it does not take a grand project to make an impact. A simple act of kindness can make a tremendous difference, and I can only imagine what I can achieve when working with a whole team with the goal of making an impact. I was raised by the Gilroy community- taking part in recreational sports and visiting the library daily to take part in its valuable programs at a young age- and being appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission would give me the opportunity to give back to it. What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address the problem? I believe the biggest problem facing youth is a lack of opportunity and drive to find what they are most passionate about. I often find that even my own peers struggle with this, and I am grateful to have been able to discover my passions and and drive through the opportunities I created for myself. Most kids grow up with dreams of being a doctor or a ballerina, but they are often not given the right tools to reach those dreams when it comes time for them to do so. Worse, kids tend to progressively lose the drive to pursue their dreams as they get older whether it be due to a lack of support or inaccessibility to the tools required. Should I be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission, I would like to create events such as career fairs and to work with schools and other public institutions to promote ambition.

What do you feel is the biggest problem facing the youth of Gilroy? If you are appointed, what are the steps you will take to address the problem? One of the biggest problems that I believe is facing the youth of Gilroy is poverty. An example of this, is at my school when the teachers prepare to hand out PE clothes for the year they mentioned a paper that students can fill out if their parents can't afford to pay the fee. This fact made me understand just how real poverty is. The cost for PE clothes is 30 dollars per pair (shirt and shorts) and to some that may seem like a small amount of money. But to others that may be a lot. I don't have a clear plan of how to solve this crisis yet, but I know that this commission will be the perfect resource to allow me to form one.

I also volunteer at my Church when they need help. I am good with technical jobs and I help with sound and lights, for my Youth Group whenever I can. I also helped for a large Easter event we put on for the community earlier this year. I was in charge of a station to do lights, sounds, and timed fog machine for special effects. Also, every year for as long as I can remember I have helped out at the Garlic Festival. I started out helping at the Miller gate stamping hands for re -entry, then scanning tickets. For the past two years I have been volunteering in the Yellow Parking Lot. I am a leader in the lot and am given a walkie talkie to communicate with the Headquarters and other leads. I usually work the busy intersections for parking and I enjoy making sure that the lot runs smoothly for those visiting our Festival. This year I worked from open to close all three days. I enjoy knowing that I am helping my community by helping visitors get into and out of the lot efficiently. I would like to be appointed to the Gilroy Youth Commission so I can be a part of something bigger in my community. I like that if I were appointed, I would be discussing and coming up with ways to positively affect the youth of my community. I feel one of the biggest problems facing the kids my age is a lack of free, educational activities. I remember going to every Kids Discover Art when I was younger, but the age cutoff was age 10. 1 would like to see an Art or Science Fair put on twice a year in Gilroy that would target kids over the age of 10. 1 would like to do advertising so we get a bunch of kids to come, and offer hands on activities that show how science and learning can be fun. I think this could help our youth to want to learn more and stay in school knowing that they can also be part of something bigger.

BACKGROUND At the September 10, 2018 meeting the City Council considered an attendance policy to institute standards for all Boards, Commissions and Committees, stemmed from concerns about excessive absences and meeting cancellations of several of these groups. The Council chose to move forward with the creation of a uniform attendance policy with modifications to section IV related to removal from office. Elements of the Policy Excused Absences This policy provides each Board, Commission and Committee member with two excused absences from regular meetings per year. These absences are to be reported to the respective staff member liaison within 72 hours of a regular meeting. 6.A Packet Pg. 45 Emergency Absences Emergency absences are the illness, hospitalization or accident of the member, their parent, spouse or domestic partner or dependent, which prohibited the member from reporting the absence within the 72 hour time frame. Each Board, Commission and Committee member shall be allowed one emergency absence per calendar year. Unexcused Absences Any absence from a regular meeting in excess of the two excused absences and one emergency absence in a calendar year shall be deemed unexcused. A member with an unexcused absence shall be removed from their seat. Removal If a member exceeds the attendance standards and absents themselves from more than three regular meetings as described above, or absents themself from three consecutive regular meetings without permission of such body, his or her office shall become vacant and shall be so declared by the City Council. CONCLUSION The included attendance policy allows for two excused absences and one emergency absence per year, and creates specific steps in reporting absences, both emergency and otherwise. This policy will be implemented uniformly for all Boards, Commissions and Committees of the City and will assist in maintaining a quorum at our meetings. NEXT STEPS Following the adoption of this policy, each of the Boards, Commissions and Committees with bylaws or standing rules that are in conflict with this policy will need to amend their rules to reflect these attendance standards.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A recent review of our City code by the Bureau of Gambling Control discovered conflicting language in regard to wager limits. In one section, the City code states there shall be no limits on any single ante, wager, or bet. The code later states that no person is permitted to make a single ante, wager or bet in excess of two hundred dollars ($200.00). The Bureau of Gambling Control found this language to be contradictory and recommended the City code be updated to reflect the correct wagering allowance. BACKGROUND 9.A Packet Pg. 66 In 2006, the passage of SB 1198 allowed local jurisdictions that permit legalized gambling in cardrooms to authorize "no limit" wagers in their local gambling ordina nces. Specifically, the bill removed wagering limits from the definition of "expansion of gambling" in the Gambling Control Act and exempted wagering limits from the moratorium on gambling expansion. The bill also removed the requirement that increases in wagering limits be approved by local voters. This bill became effective on January 1, 2007. Most of the local jurisdictions in this area have followed suit allowing removal of a set limit and authorizing the betting limit to be that allowed under State law, which is unlimited. Cardrooms shall establish wagering limits in accordance with such limitations. On March 4, 2013, the Gilroy Council passed and adopted Ordinance No. 2013 -05 amending Chapter 16.6-1 pertaining to cardrooms. The amendment was in response to a request from the Garlic City Cardroom to amend the chapter to establish new unlimited wagering in accordance with that set by the State of California. The betting limit at the time was $200 per bet. Council approved a one year trial period for unlimited betting, commencing April 3, 2013. The amendment to section 16.6-1 (s) (1) of the Gilroy City Code reads as follows: (s) Wagers. There shall be no limits on any person playing within the cardroom premises to make a single ante, wager or bet. (1) There shall be a trial period of one (1) year commencing on April 3, 2013. The chief of police will monitor the cardrooms for any adverse impacts during the trial period, and report back to the city council no later than the end of the trial period. After consideration of the recommendation and findings of the chief of police, the city council may accept the report, resulting in the no limit on single antes, wagers or bets to continue, and the one (1) year trial period to be no longer in effect. The ordinance also defines wagering limits in Section 16.6-1 (x) (3) as follows: (3) No person playing a game upon the cardroom premises is permitted to make a single ante, wager or bet in excess of two hundred dollars ($200.00); In a subsequent staff report related to a request to increase the table limit, dated May 2, 2016, it re-addresses the issue of no limit wagers. The staff report states, “Council also approved the designation of the Chief of Police as the City Official to approve games and the elimination of unlimited wagering with a sunset of one year from the adoption of the ordinance.” The staff report continued, “The Chief of Police reported no adverse impacts to the City as a result of Councils’ approval of unlimited wagering.” ANALYSIS The proposed amendment to Gilroy City Code Section 16.6-1 were sent to the Bureau of Gambling Control on May 29, 2018 for review prior to the submission of this staff report. On July 3, 2018, the City received a letter from the Bureau of Gambling Control stating that it did not object to unlimited wagering limits or the play of all games permitted by local, state, and federal law, at the Garlic City Cardroom. 9.A Packet Pg. 67 During the trial period, there were no adverse effects from unlimited wagering. The general consensus is that a no limit game not only provides for a greater opportunity for strategic play, but allows the participants to win larger sums of money and conversely could result in larger losses. A majority of cardrooms in California allow no limit games. CONCLUSION The Council introduced this ordinance at the September 10, 2018 meet ing with a 6-0 vote. The item is returning for formal adoption. Attachments: 1. July 3 2018 BGC Response to May 9th 2018 Request 2.

The FY 2020 cost to implement the salary increase noted above is estimated to be approximately $320,000 (cost plus reductions).

The ongoing additional costs at the end of this agreement are approximately $512,000 annually – the City’s 10-year financial forecast includes 2% for general personnel cost increases, thus the difference will be incorporated into future budget recommendations brought to City Council for approval.

BACKGROUND The purpose of this action is to rescind the previous resolution that authorized the use of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and designated individuals, with their respective job titles, who are authorized to conduct financial transactions in administering Gilroy Industrial Development Authority (GIDA) investments in LAIF. In order to adjust the names and/or titles of authorized individuals, the Board must rescind the previous resolution in its entirety. ANALYSIS 11.B Packet Pg. 197 Due to changes in the Finance Department over the last few years, the title of Assistant Finance Director no longer exists and thus the prior resolution requires updating to reflect the current organization. The position titles with such authority will now include the City Administrator, Finance Director, and the Finance Manager (Accounting Division). The new resolutions will also provide for the successor of any of the specified positions to retain the established authority going forward since the resolution mentions the individual by position title. Adoption of the revised resolution would also continue the City’s long standing practice of utilizing LAIF – an investment vehicle that adheres to the City’s Investment Policy and is utilized by most California municipalities. ALTERNATIVES The Board could decide to not approve the revised resolution, however this is not recommended as it would leave an individual that is no longer employed with the City as an authorized signatory.
