In response to Councilman Murray's questions, City Attorney Schricker advised that the Redwood City ordinance did not address the number or location of persons picketing as there were definite constitutional restrictions, that cities are preempted by the state to regulate in that area, and the state law is constitutionally limited as well. City Attorney Schricker advised there are adequate laws for police to enforce free passage on sidewalks and streets, and up to this point, there has been no evidence to prove these laws had been violated. Mayor La Berge advised that the Council had heard enough tonight to have staff look anew at this issue. Councilman Murray stated the Council could not legislate tonight based on complaints lodged tonight, and that this was the first time he had heard them. Councilman Murray stated that any legislative remedy would require study and reminded everyone of the preemption of the state in this area. Councilman Murray advised that the Council would look into the complaint of lack of police enforcement, and that this matter would be thoroughly discussed with the Police Chief and the City Manager, and this matter would not stop with this evening's discussion. City Manager Everett advised the Council that he, Police Chief Guardino, and City Attorney Schricker will closely monitor this situation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mayor La Berge declared a recess at 8:50 p.m. Meeting reconvened at 9:00 p.m. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.
