141 Councilman Herlihy suggested that the rate charged for heating the swimming pool be changed from resident rate to commercial rate. He stated he felt the City staff should conduct the street light survey, and that a draft be prepared to be mailed with the water bills to the residents of the community informing them of what the City is attempting to do in order to conserve energy. Mayor Pearson stated it is going to be difficult to conserve energy in areas other than street lights, water and sewer systems, and that street lighting is probably the key to the program. It was moved by Councilman Reid, and seconded by Councilman Herlihy, to approve the report and recommendations of the City staff to conserve energy, authorizing the staff to conduct the street light survey rather than hire a consultant, ano~ to study recommendation No. 7 further and report back to the City Council. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Herlihy, Kinney, Mori, Reid, and Mayor Pearson NOES: None ABSENT: None Councilman Mori stated the ultimate solution of the energy crisis had to come from the Federal government, that cities do not have the power to do so but can set examples. REPORTS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Report of the Park and Recreation. Co.nVnission~ Re: Pleasanton Youth~ Inc. Mr. Campbell presented a review of the overall program for a youth cen~er build- ing. He stated the purchase of a temporary building to be placed on the site of the proposed permanent structure in Amador Park was an ideal solution and would provide the needed facility for youth. Mr. Caporusso stated that the types of programs to be housed in the Youth Center had not yet been determined. He stated the programs would be decided by a Youth Advisory Board consisting of ten members, including several youn~ people. He added there was an urgent need for a youth center, that this was the best location, and that it would give the teenagers of Pleasanton an opportunity for a vocal and gathering place, which would help eliminate the loitering on Main Street. Mr. Bob Philcox, 2411 Crestline Road, urged approval of purchase of the temporary building to see what youth can and will do with a youth center. Mr. Chuck McNemar, 1311 Greenwood Road, and member of P.Y.I. and a concerned parent of teenagers, stated there was no program for children over 13 years old and urged approval of this facility. Mr. Jim Davis, 5312 Mallard Drive, reviewed the efforts of P.Y.I. in attempting to provide a building and program for a youth center, and he presented the City Council with the Youth Board of Directors recommendations for a Youth Center. He urged approval of the purchase of the temporary building for teenagers. Miss Paula Parker, 4863 Canary Drive, stated she became interested in P.Y.I. because there was not much for young people to do in Pleasanton and this allowed them to plan and present a program suited to their needs and desires. Lee Henry, 491 Ewing, stated that this type of program allowed the youth of Pleasanton to get involved and have something to do. Mr. Gerry Teague, P~ O. Box 56, Executive Vice President of the Pleasanton Jaycees, stated that this group had authorized $10,000.00 to be used toward this program and that the Jaycees were also sponsoring a teenage program called Jay- Teens, who could also make use of the proposed facility. Mr. Caporusso pointed out that the building could be used for many purposes, such as recreation classes in the daytime. Councilman Reid asked what the cost of operation for this facility would be, and requested that in the future cost estimates be included in the reports on these types of applications. 3. 12/3/73
