Hollister council members this week approved a policy banning “disruptive behavior” in city-owned facilities.
The idea came about after several incidents occurred in the past six months, City Attorney Stephanie Atigh told council members.
The approval does not add any new rules to the books, because it already is illegal for employers to allow harassment of their employees.
What the change does, Atigue noted Monday, is to precisely define “disruptive behavior.” The ordinance notes that harassment can take many forms, including verbal, but it does not describe it further.
Atigh pointed out that there will be a warning. If residents refuse to stop their actions, they can be asked to leave. And if they don’t leave at that point, the city can call police to assist.

Editor’ note: There is a clarification on the overall costs for the projects. Ray Espinosa noted the county is looking at outside funding opportunities for some of the projects. The county so far has received about $300,000 to get some of the projects started. San Benito also is pursuing stimulus funds for backup infrastructure projects. One thing he left out was that the county is earmarking capital funds for these projects, but the quote numbers aren’t final.
