: '24 Mr. Weeks indicated that the report was still under study and that input was being received from the Board of Directors of the PYC and, upon full comple- tion of the report, it will be forwarded to the City Manager and, undoubtedly, to the City Council. In the meant~e, it was felt that the budgeting of the PYC would simply continue its present status until such time as other decisions were made relative to the future relationships between the City and the PYC. There being no further discussion, a vote was called. Nays: 1 - Commissioner Guida Ayes: 4 - Commissioners Schenck, Weintraub, Pound, Knecht Motion carried. ( It was suggested that the Parks & Recreation Commission send a representative to the budget sessions on May 11. Chairman Guida requested, if time allowed and if Commissioner Knecht was available to attend the meeting, that he be the repre- sentative and carry the Commission's concern to the City Council and the City Manager. Commissioner Knecht accepted and was so appointed. Chairman Guida expressed his pleasure in the completeness of the Parks & Recreation Department report on the PYC subprogram MATTERS FROM THE AUDIENCE Mr. Jack Castle requested clarification on what the outcome would be if the $12,000 would be deleted from the PYC budget. Commissioner Knecht stated that the Commission was opposed to the full-time directorship of the PYC and salary because there is no control on what the Director does. It was p9inted out that this was a responsibility of the PYC as agreed upon in the 1973-74 budget approval. Commissioner Schenck mentioned that there are very successful, programs offered that are self-sustaining. These do not need a director. The feeling of the Commission is that the programs that are self-sustaining will continue with or without the help of the Parks & Recreation Department. ROUND TABLE Commissioner Schenck mentioned that he felt it was a good idea to add people to the subcommittees from the community; however, he requested that the Chairman of the subcommittee be notified before any appointments are made. Chairman Guida felt this was an excellent suggestion. He would like to add one citizen to every subcommittee. He requested that the subcommittees suggest citizens to serve on their committees. He also requested that those citizens appointed receive complete copies of the Parks & Recreation Commission agenda and minutes. Commissioner Weintraub suggested that the Commission Relations Committee take this under consideration. Commissioner Weintraub reported that on April 25 she attended the Downtown meeting as requested to do so by Chairman Guida as a liaison between the Commission and the Downtown Committee. She indicated that she had nothing appropriate to report at this time but felt someone from the Commission should continue to attend this meeting. Chairman Guida requested that Commissioner Weintraub continue to att~ the meetmgs m t~ mter~ until a forælletter could be s~t to the City Manager requesting this. . ~ ¡
