Chief Rodriguez said the entrance has been partially cleared but people entering
the Council Chamber tend to excite those who cannot enter.
Member Rios asked if continuing with the meeting would put people in danger.
Chief Rodriguez said not necessarily danger, but it would create some disruption
and the arrests that have been made create their own set of issues.
Vice Mayor Mendivil asked the Chief if he was saying if continuing the meeting is
going to exacerbate the situation and perhaps result in more arrests being made.
Chief Rodriguez said that would be correct.
Vice Mayor Mendivil asked how it would help the situation if the meeting stopped.

Council.

break to talk about it.
Motion by Sotelo-Solis, seconded by Rios, to adjourn the meeting at the request of
