Councilman Werder asked if the matter had been referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission and was advised that it had been referred to the City Manager by the Recreation Department. Councilman Werder was of the opinion that a recommendation should be had from the Parks and Recreation Commission, which opinion was shared by Mayor Hilton. Councilman Britschgi pointed out that the Commission was meeting tomorrow night but that the Council would not meet again for two weeks and he believed it important to adopt the resolution so that matching funds could be obtained as soon as possible if the bills were passed. Councilman Granger also expressed himself as agreeing with Councilman Werder and Mayor Hilton and believed a recommendation should be had from the Commission. City Manager Blom advised that the city's funds were available from the bond issue but that there would not be enough money to carry out the program unless matching funds were ob- tained"from the State. Councilman Britschgi offered adoption of resolution endors- ing the bills as recommended by the California Recreation Executives and moved its adoption subject to the approval of the Recreation Commission, seconded by Council- man Werder.
