Thank you mnql1 for posting and e-mailing the interested parties.
Here's the report submitted by Stanley Sniff, Riverside county sheriff regarding the application of ordinance 884.

I see this report very differently from the discussions on WWP.
Some people see this as a win:
"Since the enactment of the Ordinance, there have not been any situations where the Ordinance has been utilized. In situations where picketing has occurred, the Sheriff's Department has found the usage of existing penal code violations more appropriate. "
Maybe so, but the problem is that the RECOMMENDED MOTION is not to do away with the ordinance as the above paragraph implies, but rather to "receive and file this report".
Therefore, the ordinance STAYS and will not be RE-VOTED on.
The way the ordinance is written, people will get arrested if they attempt picketing at Gold Base. As it was discussed many times, the ordinance is cleverly designed to restrict picketing from an invisible property line, which is not only unenforceable, but (because the cult owns both sides of the street) also forces picketers in the middle of the street!
The cult just waited the required 6 months, kept quiet till the ordinance is cast in stone and I will not be surprised one bit that the next protesters at Gold will be arrested.
Please attend the Sep 15, Board of Sups meeting to ask that the ordinance be repealed, because it is unenforceable, it is unconstitutional, it is unnecessary (because existing laws can be used instead) and crafted at the request of a "religious" organization, in direct conflict with the principle of separation of church and state and tax laws.
