the operation of programs currently offered by the East Valley Boys and Girls Club. The City
has budgeted $175,000 for the operation of the gameroom, boxing gym, martial arts programs,
arts and crafts, wood shop, photography, and the computer learning center. The Club requested
that Council consider extending the Agreement on a month to month basis until the proposal has
been decided. A proposal was submitted by the Department of Human Services that would save
the City approximately $20,500. Staff recommended that Council approve the disbursement of
one twelfth the budgeted amount for services rendered during the month of July and that the City
assume the operation of programs currently administered by the East Valley Boys and Girls Club.
Furthermore, that the City retain the current program staff in part time positions as specified in
the family of positions for the Department of Human Services. Also, that upon concurrence by

problem would be with the part4ime employees limit of 1,000 hours; and 4) That in FY 1993-
94 approximately $30,000 was raised by the programs put on by the Boys and Girls Club and
that the $30,000 is in addition to the $20,000 savings by the Human Services Department.
In response to Mayor pro tem Martinez, Personnel/Risk Manager Cole stated that the 1,000 hours
has been in effect for probably 15 years, that if the part-time hours were increased an amendment
to the contract would need to be done, and health benefits would need to be paid.
In response to Mayor Vargas, Director of Human Services Nunez stated that a committee
consisting of two Councilmembers, the Director of Adininistrative Services, and the Director of
Human Services did work with the recommendation and that the overhead costs are not reflected
in the report. Director of Public Works Mousavi stated that all the cost had been identified with
the lighting and maintenance of the building.
In response to Councilmember Muse, Director of Human Services Nunez stated that the boxing
and martial arts are programs that the Boys Club do at a lower cost than the City. When the
proposals were prepared the administrative costs were not factored in and that is a cost that the
Boys and Girls Club will need to factor in their proposal. The City would be slightly higher
than the Boys and Girls Club on some programs. The costs are higher to the City because of
higher pay scales.
Councilmember Lowes stated her concern about Mr. Nunez taking on the additional work and
already being short-staffed, the need for the City to become a member of various associations
in order to provide insurance if the City takes over these programs, and there being no cost on
the memberships listed in the report. She preferred that a report be brought back with all the
costs included.
Mayor Vargas directed the committee, with the two Councilmembers along with staff from the
Boys and Girls Club, first sit down and deternZne what are the needs of the community.
Then go back and prepare proposals to meet those needs that factor in adininistrative costs,
that factor in program costs, that factor in insurance, that factors in everything you can imagine
and bring back a proposal by the second meeting in September. The goal has to be to provide
the best program possible for the community. The issue of not having enough staff time for the
Human Services Department also needs to be addressed. Council agreed by unanimous
consent.
Mayor Vargas moved to approve the month to month funding to the Boys and Girls Club
at least for this past month and proZrate any payments in the future with regard to this
discussion.
Mayor pro tem Martinez moved to amend the motion that staff and the committee go back and
meet with the Boys and Girls Club and fund the Boys and Girls Club for the first quarter of
this Fiscal] Year. Council agreed by unanimous consent.

COUNCIL/STAFF REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
In response to Mayor Vargas, Director of Public Works Mousavi stated: 1) the cones at the
bus stop by the park and the reason for no grass is that the grass was deteriorating because of
a water line deficiency. The water line has been repaired and the grass will be replaced next
week; 2) the undergrounding and wiring has been finished and Edison has sent letters to the
residents and those that are receiving services to start working with Edison to provide
underground services. There hasn't been very many responses from the utility users and there
is a second letter going out next week to all the residents and businesses that they receive utility
and their meters will be revised because of the undergrounding and a deadline will be set to get
that accomplished. After that, the poles can be removed by the park.
Councilmember Lowes requested staff reports on the following: 1) the School District/Executive
Team meeting; 2) Cook's Trailer Park meeting; 3) the costs of the lighting and the problems
pertaining to the Siena Vista Softball Field; and 4) the noisy manhole cover on Merced Avenue.
She also stated that she attended a well attended PAC Committee meeting and the people seemed

department would contact the responsible County Department pertaining to the noisy manhole
cover on Merced Avenue.
