Staff Present: Parks and Recreation Director Max Weeks, Parks Superintendent Pasco Balzarini, Recreation Superintendent Bill Paulson. Also present: Doris Thompson, past Parks and Recreation Cou~ission Chairman; Mrs. Phillips, Chairman, College Site Cou~ittee. AGENDA ITEM 1. APBOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES (a) Chairman Schenck appointed Cou~issioners William Warren, Frank Guida, and Diane Pound as Nominations CoDmkittee for 1973-74 officers. Warren was appointed Chairman. They will report on nominations at the May meeting. (b) Police Youth Club Study Committee. The con~ittee of Conunissioners James Knecht, Chairman, Frank Guida and Joanne Weintraub had been appointed prior to the April meeting due to the necessity of meeting prior to budget proposal deadlines. The chairman reported that two meetings had been held to discuss the Police Youth Club situation. These meetings were a result of a request by the Police Youth Club to meet with them to discuss mutual concerns as well as problems which the Police Youth Club is encountering relative to funding their program. Resultant from the joint ccm~ittee meetings it was determined that the Police Youth Club should retain. their identi~and continue to be responsible for their program operations. It was felt, however, that if the City is to continue to subsidize the Police Youth Club Program there should be a surveillance and evaluation of that program by the Parks & Recreation Department in that the program is highly recreationally oriented. The committee felt the Youth Club Board should continue soliciting strong coDdnunity volunteer support as it relates to the preliminary objectives of the club. The cOfumittee suggested that the Police Chief and the Director of Parks & Recreation meet with the City Manager in order to arrive at a joint reconoendation to the City Council for continued City support for the next fiscal year on. the condition that the Police Youth Club program be studied and evaluated in order to determine alter- natives for future support and supervision. It was felt that perhaps the City could fund some administrative cost together with salary cost which would then offer the opportunity for review of fiscal control and program supervision. It was requested that the Director report back to the C~ìission at the May meeting relative to the results of the meeting with the City Manager. AGENDA ITEM 2. DISCUSSION OF THE MAY FIELD TRIP Chairman Schenck reported that the Mayor and City Council invited the Commission to meet with them from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon on.May 5,1973.
