DISCUSSION REGARDING YOUTH Mayor Hamilton eormnented that several weeks ADVISORY COMMISSION ago there was some discussion about revis- ing this Coranission due to not being able to get a quorum. Frank Guidry, Chairman, Youth Mr. Guidry, 3740 Valley Vista Fork, Bonita, Advisory Commission submitted the following recommendations: (1) appoint the Co~nissioners on June 1 instead of October 1; (2) method of selec- tion should be thrown to the community at large, with interviews by the City Council; (3) reduce the membership to 9 instead of 12. Mike Schaeffer, 689 Myra Avenue Mr. Schaeffer stated he wrote the articles in the newspaper (Star-News) pertaining to the Youth Con~issions both in this City and Imperial Beach. He submitted the following proposals: (1) age limit of 21 be removed, and no lower age limit be put on it either; (2) should be composed primarily of college students; (3) if a majority of high school students are desir~ on the Co~nission, it should be stated that 4 out of the 9 be high school students, 1 or 2 college, and the rest either a combination of the two or non- students; (4) the membership should be re- duced to 9; (5) the quorum should be one- half plus 1 of the present active member- ship; (6) the word "advisory" should be de- leted from the title; (7) Council should select membership rather than schools; (8) one-year term to apply with the Council re- appointing that member if they so desire. Scott Whitely, Hilltop High School Mr. Whitety stated the age limit should be held at 21 years and dropped to the ninth grade; take the Cormnission out of the Asso- ciated Student Body, but still retain it within the school. Lt. Earl Clark, Camino Etevado Lt. Clark stated he is an advisor on this Commission, and commented that one of the reasons they haven't been getting a quorum is because so many of these young people are involved in other activities. Carol Tullis, Castle Park Miss Tullis remarked that most of the activi- High School ties are geared to the young, and for this reason, the ninth graders are needed on the Commission. Mr. A1 Pursudi, Castle Park High Mr. Pursudi declared that if the publicity School Teacher~ Room 602 for the Youth Com~nission program was directed to some person who was involved in trying to make government relevant in the classroom, then the Council would be assured of getting participation -- this is not the Associated Student Body. Direct the Commission back to the classroom (such as twelfth grade social study class) where this thing is relevant and let the students hold rap sessions. Carol Tullis Miss Tullis disagreed~ stating it should not go to the social studies classes, as this would be school-oriented; the Com~ission should be open to the students who are eom- munity-orieatcd. Frank Riley, 1125 Monserate Mr. Riley declared it should be brought into the social studies class. One good project would be "Youth in Goverumcnt Day". Becky Reeve~ Castle Park High Miss Reeve agreed that it should go to the School social studies class, as this is one class which nearly everyone has to attend. Mike Day, 1516 Malta Avenue Mr. Day agreed it should be part of the social studies class; that the college students should not dominate the Commis- sion; he would like to get more informa- tion about this Con~nission from his repre- sentative. Martha Durfelt, Chula Vista Miss Durfelt felt it wouldn't matter to where the Commission was directed -- whether it would be social studies class, the park, or a neighborhood home, if they were inter- ested they will attend and get others to Frank Guidry Mr. Guidry invited the youth present to the next meeting of the Con~nission to be held at 3:30 P.M., Thursday, in the new Police Facility. Dennis Estrada, 1345 Marl Court Mr. Estrada stated that, in his opinion, the Commission was a "farce", because they have no power at all. Mayor Hamilton and Councilman Egdahl explained the functions of the various Cormmissions in the City, which are all advisory to the Coun- cil. Council comments Throughout the testimonies, the Council asked questions and cormnented on the fact that this Con~ission could set up a number of ad hoc connmittees, thus expanding the membership. Mayor's comments Mayor Hamilton challenged the students pres- ent tonight to take back the comments ex- pressed at this meeting to the other students; to have all of them attend the next meeting of the Youth Advisory Commission which will be held Thursday, at the Police Facility. This meeting will be open to all testimony, and for them to come back to the Council with concrete recommendations and proposals which the Council can act on.

Also being considered is 3.9 acres located at the north- east corner of Third Avenue and Palomar Street, extending 620 feet east on Palomar Street, which was included by the Planning Department.

The Planning Cormnission recommends the prop- erty be prezoned C-C-P and R-3 with the zon- ing to become effective upon approval of a precise plan for development, and subject to the dedication of additional right-of-way and improvement of Kennedy Street. Mr. Warren commented on the zoning initiated by the County Planning Department for this area° -3- Board of Supervisors Councilman Scott stated that Supervisor Bear informed him that he (Bear) would be receptive to a plan whereby there would be a poliey statement by the Board of Super- visors stating that the planning for areas which are within the spheres of influence of Chula Vista would first have to be ap- proved by Chula Vista before the Board of Supervisors would approve it.

Public hearing opened This being the time and place as advertised, Mayor Hamilton declared the public hearing opened. Louis Wolfsheimer, Attorney, Mr. Wolfsheimer stated his client owns two Wells Fargo Bank Building, parcels in this area, and originally re- San Diego quested C-C for both; however~ they agree with the Planning Commission's recommenda- tion that the small parcel be prezoned R-3. He disagreed with the General Plan's desig- nation for high density for this entire area as being unrealistic. Mr. Wilshire added that to put apartments here would be spot zoning.

Public hearing closed There being no further co~nents, either for or against, the hearing was declared closed. Suggestion for joint meeting Councilman Hyde indicated he was deeply con- cerned over the proliferation of shopping centers in this area. It creates congestion, it is unnecessary and weakens the existing shopping center.

The South Bay Drug Abuse Committee strongly supports this particular organiza- tion. In answer to Councilman Hyde's inquiry, Mr. Wappes stated that they haven't explored the possibility of asking financial help from the neighboring cities, but that this was a definite possibility.
