For the past year, Gilroy Mayor Don Gage and Council Member Perry Woodward have been individually meeting with owners of downtown’s 18 unreinforced masonry buildings and city staff. The pair claimed a victory this month; two buildings have been officially taken off the list of structures deemed unfit to survive a high magnitude earthquake after sufficient retrofitting.

After nearly two years of reaching out to local municipalities and compiling a laundry list of transportation issues throughout the county, the 12-member VTA board voted unanimously to place a 30-year, countywide half-cent sales tax measure on the November ballot.

With the July Fourth holiday squarely in the rearview window, the Gilroy City Council gets back to work on Monday night, July 10 at 6 p.m. Below is a peek at the upcoming agenda, which can found at cityofgilroy.org:
