Adjournment There being no further business, Mayor Roberts adjourned the meeting at approximately 3048 p.m. 1 P� o Deputy City Clerk ATTEST: i Mayor CONCERNING THE EVENTS OF RANCHO COTATI HIGH SCHOOL BAND AND AVENIDA CALA IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,, NOT EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME POINT OF VIEW AS THE CRUMPS AND THEIR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR. MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THROUGHLY ENJOY, THE BAND BUT SEEM TO BE GETTING THE BLAME FOR THE ACTIONS OF A FEW PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH DOESN'T SEEM FAIR. MY HUSBAND WORKS NIGHTS AND SLEEPS DAYS BUT YET HE LOOKS FORWARD TO HEARING THE BAND, KNOWING THAT THE YOUNG ADULTS ARE GETTING SOME BENEFIT FROM IT INSTEAD OF OUT GETTING INTO MISCHIEF. AS FOR MYSELF, I ENJOY LISTENING TO THE BAND ON MY DAY OFF KNOWING THAT THE MUSIC IS A GREAT BENEFIT IN LIFE AND A MEANS OF EXPRESSING THEMSELVES, HOW DO THEY EXPECT THE YOUNG ADULTD TO TROMP THRU THE MUD TO PRACTICE MARCHING. ISN'T IT A LITTLE RIDICULOUS THAT THESE PEOPLE MAKE A FUSS OVER A LITTLE MUSIC WHEN MOST OF US BLARE OUR STEROS AROUND HOME ALL THE TIME AND NO ONE EVER COMPLAINS ABOUT THAT TYPE OF MUSIC. CONCERNING THE THROUGHFARE ON CAMINO CORTO. WE HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL GOING THROUGH. THE BAND HAS ALWAYS BEEN OBLIGING IN MOVING TO THE SIDE SO THAT WE COULD PASS. THE ONLY PROBLEM I CAN FORSEE IS IF THE DRIVER GETS OBNOXIOUS THEN THE BAND HAS A RIGHT TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS AS A PEDESTRIAN. I HAVE A QUESTION OF THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING. WHY DID THEY BUY A HOUSE BY THE HIGH SCHOOL IF THEY DON'T LIKE THE THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH IT? IN CONCLUSION I WANT TO ADD THAT SINCE THIS HAS COME OUT IN THE OPEN I'VE BEEN GETTING PHONE CALLS FROM FRIENDS ASKING WHY WE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE MUSIC WHEN THERE ARE MUCH BETTER THINGS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT.
