DESCRIPTION:The Downtown Commission, an advisory body appointed by the Santa Cruz City 
 Council, vets laws before they go to the City Council for final 
 consideration, in so far as those laws deal with downtown issues.\n\nOn the 
 table is an expansion of the Parking Lots and Garages Trespass Law (which I 
 term the "Parking Lot Panic Law") which currently makes it illegal to enter 
 a public parking garage or parking lot #9  (on Elm St. between Pacific and 
 Cedar) unless you are parking or picking up a car or bicycle (and then only 
 for 15 minutes maximum).\n\nHUFF is seeking a repeal of the current 
 year-old law, which has not had its legally-required 6-month review and was 
 prompted in the main by anti-homeless attitudes and a chilling willingness 
 to close off public spaces to the general public.\n\nThe SCPD is seeking an 
 expansion of the lot to include 19 more parking lots in Downtown Santa 
 Cruz, eliminating another 4 square blocks of public assembly space and 
 expanding police power to selectively enforce and (yes, indeed!) profile!  
 \n\nSee "Zooming At You: Public Assembly Ban in City Parking Lots: 8:30 AM 
 City Hall 9-27" at http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/09/21/18448912.php 
 for more details.\n\nHUFF and Joe Schultz will provide early morning 
 munchables for those who show up.   \n\nWe may also try to find the elusive 
 Mayor Reilly and Vice-Mayor Coonerty, still avoiding public meetings with 
 Sleeping Ban protesters.\n\nFRSC will probably cover some of this event 
 later 6-8 PM Thursday evening on 101.1 FM.\n\nJulie Shattuck is the chair 
 of the Downtown Commission, not the organizer of the protest.   HUFF is 
 organizing the protest: for more info contact Robert Norse at
