Mr. Walker presented the report of the Director of Recreation and Human Resources dated October 8, 1979, regarding this matter. Mr. Philip Cooper, 1664 Orchard Way, Chairman of the Human Services Commission, stated that at their last meeting they suggested the CETA position be transferred to the Valley Volunteer Bureau if it could not be filled by the Recreation Department by October 8, 1979, in order to take advantage of the funding as well as fill a needed position of the Valley Volunteer Bureau. Mrs. Betty Stallings, Director of the Valley Volunteer Bureau, 4302 Muirwood Drive, stated she concurred with the recommendation of the Human Services Commission and added that the CETA position would aid the service agency in providing voluntary transportation and other assistance to the area residents and that she could hire a person immediately to fill the position. Ms. Marilyn Blear, Executive Director of Hotline, stated that she supported Mrs. Stallings request for the CETA position but added that Hotline also had a need for such a position which could be filled immediately. She stated she felt that in all fairness this CETA position should go out to bid and she requested this be done. Mrs. Joyce Getty, 925 Kottinger, expressed confusion regarding project positions and sustainment positions. Mrs. Bengtson explained that project positions were for a specific project and when completed the job terminated. She stated that sustainment positions were on-going, and that the CETA position available was a sustainment posi- tion and earmarked for a Youth Coordinator. Councilmember Butler stated he was opposed to this item because he felt he was being forced into a fast decision in order to obtain Federal funding. He added he thought other groups should be allowed to bid for the funds. Mayor Brandes reiterated his opposition to any CETA funding because he feels it is a waste of taxpayers money. It was moved by Councilmember Wood, and seconded by Councilmember Mercer, that Resolution No. 79-187, recommending that Pleasanton's one unallocated CETA Title VI sustainmerit position be given to the Valley Volunteer Bureau for employment of a Youth Coordinator, be adopted. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Kephart, Mercer, and Wood NOES: Councilman Butler and Mayor Brandes ABSENT: None Mayor Brandes recessed the meeting at 9:10 P.M. Mayor Brandes reconvened the meeting at 9:20 P.M. SPECIAL REPORTS Approval of Housing Sur~ey Questionnaire Mr. Harris presented his report dated October 4, 1979, regarding this matter.
