Hollister City Council to discuss potential new DUI enforcement and Bike Rally impacts at meeting

HOLLISTER, Calif. (KION-TV) -- The Hollister City Council will be considering a potential cost recovery ordinance for DUI enforcement at their meeting on Tuesday.

This comes as the city says they are seeing more drunk driving incidents in recent years.

Hollister Police say that between January 2022 and August 26, 2025, Hollister public safety personnel responded to 77 DUI-related traffic collisions, and police say they made 525 DUI arrests in that same time period.

A sample ordinance was provided that would help police seek an estimated $1,000 from suspects responsible for an incident, or their parents if the suspect is a minor.

The council will also be hearing a presentation on the return of the Hollister Bike Rally this past Independence Day.

They'll be looking at the attendance and financial statistics of the event.

Council could give staff direction on the next bike rally as well, once they have a better picture of its financial impact.
