...Recommendations

As recommended by the Rules and Open Government Committee on March 3, 2021:

(a) Direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance targeting promoters of illegal street racing and sideshows, including those who use social media to promote, support, and encourage this illegal and dangerous behavior.

(b) Direct Staff to explore the use of Automated License Plate Readers and return to Council with options for deployment in corridors that have been hardest impacted by illegal street racing and sideshows, and as added by the Rules and Open Government Committee, to explore installation of physical barriers at wide intersections.

(c) Direct the City Manager to allocate the necessary funding for the Police Department to address this issue as part of our annual budget process.

(d) Direct Staff to explore formation of a County-wide Task Force on responding to illegal street racing and sideshows that would allow for coordinated multijurisdictional responses throughout Santa Clara County.
