youth of the community. The fund would be administered by the Human Services and Park and Recreation Commissions with input from the youth as to how the funds are spent. Ms. Dennis agreed creating a fund for youth is a good idea. She preferred to see creation of a non-profit corporation to administer the funds and encouragement of business participation by way of grants. Many businesses might not give grants to a city fund that is administered by the Park and Recreation Commission. She believed that ultimately a non-profit corporation would be a more stable fund and allow other members of the community to participate. Mr. Tarver indicated he agreed with everything that has been said and believed all had fairly strong opinions on different issues. He agreed there is a place for a Youth Council and urged discussion on how to fund programs. He believed that a dialogue should occur during budget time to discuss what services to provide and how to fund them.

Mr. Tarver referred to the AB 1600 funds facilities study. Ms. Acosta indicated this has been done and will come back to Council. Mr. Tarver then asked what effect the allocation of $100,000 to a youth fund, as suggested by Mr. Pico, would do to the CIP to the year 2000. Ms. Rossi indicated the budget would be in balance. Obviously, there will still be unfunded projects. Ms. Acosta suggested the $100,00 be taken from the Operating Budget not from these one-time funds. However, if the Council takes it from these funds and there is a shortfall in the 01/17/95 - 13-
