Joint policy meeting. It will also be presented at the April 23?d Recreation & Parks Board <br />meeting. <br />4. UPCOMING COUNCIL CONSIDERATIONS <br />Council considerations for April, May and June were discussed. <br />5. PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Glen Stroud-COFU Member <br />? At first did not support stadium plan because the Neighborhood Association was not <br />notified of the late item. <br />? Understand that staff did present the issue to the N.A. and received verbal approval - <br />not sufficient - wants written approval. <br />? COFU is important as it protects the Agency - it is an avenue to appeal strikes <br />? Reviewed examples of infractions <br />Pedro Magallon-COFU Member/Adult Soccer Rep <br />? Several years ago SAYSU and SASA were recognized as critical; now they do not <br />have the same importance. <br />? Have been part of the process to make amendments to the policies and procedures <br />but only when it is convenient to the City. <br />? Eleven to fifteen leagues were not in agreement with the lottery system. <br />? Notified Councilmember Sarmiento via letter of the lottery system, but the system was <br />still implemented. <br />? The lottery system does not make sense; some leagues get dates they do not want <br />? Plans of implementing a lottery system should have been brought to the attention of <br />SASA and SAYSU before making any decision - problems could have been avoided. <br />Jorge Rodriguez <br />? His league is negatively impacted by the current Stadium process. <br />Edgar Vasquez <br />? Happy withy what he has but feels it is not fair that Jorge Rodriguez cannot use the <br />Stadium as 100 percent of his members are Santa Ana Residents and he is a <br />registered league <br />? Need a better solution so everyone can use the Stadium <br />Arturo Saucedo <br />? The decisions were not fair; has concerns about the criteria for priority <br />? If they serve Santa Ana kids that should give them priority; should not matter if you are <br />non-profit or not; youth should be the criteria for giving priority. <br />? Some leagues have use of the Stadium and do not really need it. <br />Alfredo Gomez - Azteca Soccer <br />? Did not use same criteria for stadium as for other fields; city has done good job with <br />Centennial - have not had problems; should use same schedule for stadium so that it <br />benefits all users <br />? His kids have Wednesday for the first month but then has to wait a month to use on <br />weekends when he needs it most <br />PREY Regular Meeting - MINUTES 2 <br />April 3, 2008 <br />13B-2
