It was moved by Ms. Ayala, seconded by Ms. Dennis, that city staff be directed to send a bill to the Fair Board for expenses incurred as a result of this event; that city staff be directed to come back with a modification of the noise ordinance so it can be enforced the next time a similar event happens; and that an official letter of protest be sent to the Fair Board and the Board of Supervisors of Alameda County regarding the disturbance. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis, Michelotti, Pico, and Mayor Tarver NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAiN: None Other Soeakers Maureen Nokes, 5415 Corte Paloma, indicated Alameda County has stated the Staples Ranch area could be a location for a Juvenile Hall Facility.
