o Juan Lara presented the current Youth Programs and the new programs that <br />will be added with the additional funding. <br />o Councilmember Reyna asked how were the 8 park sites selected, what do we <br />do with kids during the summer? <br />o Mr. Lara indicated the sites were selected based on the area where new <br />programs are needed. The City still provides summer programs for the kids, <br />such as aquatic programs, recreation swim, and other programs during the <br />summer. <br />DISCUSSION ON YOUTH SPORTS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM <br />o Mr. Mouet indicated City Council approved $200,000 for the Scholarship <br />Program. City Council requested PREY to review how the Scholarship <br />Program would be implemented and the type of program. After a <br />consensus, PREY will discuss the concept with the entire City Council on <br />September 2, 2014. <br />o Discussion focused on using $100,000 of the Scholarship Program <br />funding for Youth Sports. The remaining $100,000 would help address <br />deferred maintenance repairs (50%) and part time general maintenance <br />staffing (50%). <br />o Councilmember Reyna indicated he supported this proposal since it <br />addressed all areas of need (Scholarship program and Deferred <br />Maintenance). <br />o Mayor Pro Tem Tinajero also indicated this would be a good compromise <br />to address both needs. <br />o David Cavazos indicated we need to identify the maximum number of <br />participants that would be eligible to receive scholarships per household. <br />CENTENNIAL ADULT EDUCATION CENTER STATUS UPDATE <br />o PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />• Steve McGuigan reminded council that the land conversion also <br />required the site be of equivalent recreational value. The 2.6 acre <br />college site has more recreational value than 5 smaller sites. <br />The college needs to be away from parks. They should be looking at <br />other sites such as the site next to the Digital Media, the OC Register <br />site, etc. The college will eventually out grow this site and will be <br />asking the city for additional park space in the future. They need to find <br />a site like the OC Register site where they have room for expansion in <br />the future. <br />PREY Regular Meeting Page 4 July 28, 2014 <br />
