WRITTEN REQUEST
Mayor Gillmor and Councilmember Watanabe _ hereby request that the following item be placed on the City of Santa Clara Council and Authorities Concurrent meeting agenda:
See Below
We are requesting that the City Council/Stadium Authority schedule a Special Meeting as soon as possible to receive a detailed report from MANCO, the new stadium manager and our staff including our police department to discuss the operations of the stadium both inside and outside in the surrounding community.
Most particularly the soccer match that took place on July 2nd between Mexico and Qatar and the issues that occurred including:
Fan violence both inside and outside the stadium.
Lack of neighborhood protection including parking, noise and other unsavory behavior, left- over garbage, and non-existent security.
Illegal vendors outside the stadium, on public streets and in the residential neighborhoods.
Illegal activities such as alcohol and other sales, disposing of garbage many times in front of stadium security.
Inoperative magnetometers at entrance to stadium that resulted in stadium security using a hand wand to screen ticket holders or ticket purchasers going to the Box Office.
