Red Phone: What’s the rule on parking trailers long-term?
“Hey Red Phone, what about the unattached trailers parked on city streets? I thought trailers had to be hooked up to a vehicle. There is a trailer parked on Ninth Street between Chestnut and Alexander streets for at least one month. Police don't seem to care about enforcing parking violations. I've seen patrol cars drive right past cars parked the wrong way and unattached trailers. Thanks for your help Red Phone!”

“Dear Red Phone, I’d like to know why Gilroy police don’t do a better job patrolling and monitoring the Gilroy skate park, whereas Morgan Hill does a better job. My son can’t go to the Gilroy skate park without any interruptions between bikers and vandalism. What’s up with this?”
Red Phone: Grunt. Tennis nets hang too low
“Dear Red Phone, I play tennis for recreation – and I so appreciate the city's free facilities – but I've noticed some nets are hanging low. How often does the city check on these and who should I call if I see a low net? Thanks a lot.”
Squirrels taking over!
“Red Phone, we live in the county and we’re having a bigger problem than normal with ground squirrels. They are undermining our barn and there just seems to be more than ever.
