New City Manager of Cupertino, Mr, Robert Quinlan, proposed that the Town participate in costs of a consultant study for a law enforcement agency.

Staff stated that this ordinance prepared by the Noise Abatement Committee was presented in draft form at the last meeting end that the City Attorney has since reviewed it and made certain changes.
