Chief Rojas replied "Yes" it will be an in -house person. Any gaps will <br />be covered by SAPID overtime. <br />DISCUSS SPECIAL OLYMPICS OPPORTUNITY <br />• Gerardo Mouet indicated there is a proposal that next year Santa Ana will <br />host a portion of the Special Olympics. He plans to work with the Kiwanis <br />Organization to form a volunteer fund raising committee. The proposal will be <br />presented to the City Council on November 18tH <br />• Councilmember Reyna asked how big is the Committee. <br />• David Cavazos indicated as big as anyone that wants to volunteer. <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 consensus, <br />PREY will discuss the concept with the entire City Council on September 2, <br />2014. <br />o Discussion focused on using $100,000 of the Scholarship Program funding <br />for Youth Sports. The remaining $100,000 would help address deferred <br />maintenance repairs (50 %) and part time general maintenance 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 to <br />address both needs. <br />c David Cavazos indicated we need to identify the maximum number of <br />participants that would be eligible to receive scholarships per household. <br />s PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />• Mario Villalobos indicated the Memorial sports fields are closed every <br />summer for renovation in order to be ready for the Pop Warner season. <br />Because the renovation was not done this summer, the fields are not in good <br />shape. This was one of the best fields in the conference. Please take into <br />consideration Pop Warner's use of Memorial Fields. <br />• David Cavazos indicated he would like to meet with Mario and Gerardo to <br />tour the field and understand the situation. <br />PREY Regular Meeting Page 5 October 27, 2014 <br />13D -7 <br />
