The motion followed an oral report by Capt. E. B. Hansen, Police Department, who stated that the Mayor's Advisory Committee had met on September 14 with representatives of the South Main Improvement Association who endorse the removal of the cruising in the City; that the Committee has done a good job, but has not removed the problems created by "lowriding" on South Main Street; that there is concern that the practice will become institution- alized if allowed to continue, and the Police Department cost is more than $2,500 per month for control of the problem. Prior to the vote on the motion, Juan Barba, 1246 S. Rosewood, requested a continuance of the matter to give LULAC and Buena Gente representatives on the Committee an opportunity to provide Council with results of a survey of businessmen they are conduct- ing regarding the South Main Street activity. He stated that the Mayor's Advisory Committee has tried to develop rapport with the community; that for the first time the youth, parents and community people have come forward to work together; and that a fight that occurred on Sunday night, September 17, was a one- to-one fight not directly related to lowriding. Jennifer Acevedo, a member of Buena Gente, commented that shutting down the street would be difficult to accomplish without violating people's rights; and that if the negative aspects of the situation were removed, the cruising could continue.
