that clinic, but stated it is not clear if that is the best way to handle this present situation. ChierLGuá~dino stated that clients are able to enter the clinic, and suggested that perhaps the civil process might be the best tool for businesses adversely affected by the protesters. Chief Guardino stated his department has addressed the parking problem and has made other decisions based on the best use of police resources. How stringently the City wants to apply the law is a policy issue, and no city across the nation enforces the letter of the law in these kinds of demonstrations. In response to Councilman Bury's questions, Chief Guardino stated his department is addressing the parking issues, will try to keep the sides apart, but people screaming at each other is a more difficult problem to resolve. In response to Councilman Murray's questions, Chief Guardino advised the subject car with pictures had not been ticketed; that there are adequate legal tools to deal with this situation; and the last court order brought increased activity and an overwhelming number of cases were dropped. Chief Guardino stated his experience suggested that a hard line is not necessarily the best tactic to use in this case.

Katie Short, Attorney, Atherton, advised the Council that all the people on the pro-life side either live in or around this community or do business in Redwood City, and that she is an attorney who represents pro-lifers and free speech issues.

Ms. Short stated that if the police would allow only constitutional activity the out-of-towners would stop having so much fun and would not come here anymore. Sue Parsons, Nimitz, Redwood City, advised that the protesters have blocked her way into 795 Marshall, and she has to pay a babysitter to watch her son as she can no longer take him with her to pick up and drop off her documents because of the nature of the pictures on the car that she does not want him to see. Ms. Parsons stated that one time she came out of the Marshall address and the subject pictures had been put on her car. Dr. Scharbach, Chiropractor at 650 Main Street, advised Council that for five years he had a good practice at that address working 5.5 days a week, and the protesters, including Ms. Short, were not a problem. Dr. Scharbach advised that for the last six to eight months a car with offensive pictures has been parked in front of the building all day, and has driven enough of his patients away, that he can only work 2.5 days a week. Dr. Scharbach stated that on Friday morning there were two fights in the front of the building, he had to lock up the whole building to keep everyone out, and he has no choice but to move his practice to Regular Meeting Minutes August 3, 1992 Page 3 MINUTE BOOK NO. 51 Page No. 153 --, -.
