Councilmember Rob Moore aimed to protect town’s ‘most vulnerable residents’ following election.
A resolution reaffirming Los Gatos’s commitment to supporting community members regardless of their identity failed to receive the support it needed to be put on the agenda for the Nov. 19 Los Gatos Town Council meeting. Councilmember Rob Moore, pictured, posted the resolution online following the Nov. 5 presidential election, saying he wanted to “insulate Los Gatos from the negative consequences of this election and to protect the most vulnerable residents of our community.
Though Mayor Mary Badame would have been responsible for approving Moore’s request to put the item on the council’s agenda for discussion, she said at the meeting that she was putting the matter to the entire council in the interest of “good governance and being open and transparent,” though Moore’s motion failed without a second.
“I found it to be a repetition of a prior resolution from 2017. I found it to be redundant and overreaching of Senate Bill 54. I felt there’s potential unenforceable provisions regarding scope and enforcement,” Badame said, referencing legislation passed by the state senate in 2017 that would stop local law enforcement agencies from aiding immigration enforcement activity.
