San Rafael resident Ellen Obstler, who sits on the committee, has been to two Pacifics games since the season began. Most of the complaints received were regarding noise, but the police department has addressed any issues as the season goes along, she said.

Although Obstler did not want to comment on what might happen in Monday's meeting, she did say that her personal opinion is that the baseball games are "a positive thing for San Rafael."
