REPORT ON OPERATIONS At the October 20, 1977 Conference, the Council considered REVIEW PROGRAM a recommendation from the City Manager for a management review of the Planning Department and other departments over an extended period of time. The Council directed the Manager to take the Council discussion under advisement and report back in one month with his recommendation for appropriate measures to provide for on-going management reviews. City Manager Cole referred to his written report in which he recommended the hiring of a consultant to review the Planning Department along with the appropriation of necessary funds to pay the consultant. Further, he recommended that during the 1978-79 budget process, he submit a detailed plan and staff proposal for a permanent Management and Budget Division within the City Manager's office. Motion for approval It was moved by Councilman Hobe] and seconded by Mayor Hyde to approve the staff's recommendations with the under- standing, that if the Council is to consider it (detailed plan for a permanent Management and Budget Division), it will have to stack up priority-wise with other programs to be proposed at budget deliberations.

REPORT ON REQUEST City Manager Cole submitted a written report concerning OF SOUTH BAY FILIPINO the request of the Filipino Association to change the COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION status of their classification - from #5 to #3 - to allow FOR CHANGE OF CLASSI- a reduced rental rate for the use of Loma Verde Center FICATION REGARDING when conducting Bingo games. FEES FOR CONDUCTING BINGO GAMES Mr. Cole noted that the use of the Center for the Associa- tion's meeting place is classified under the Civic or Social Group (3) - $10.00 per hour. When using the facility for the purpose of conducting Bingo games it places them in the Class #5 status - $25.00 per hour. It is staff's belief that permanent assignment of any facility to a single group for a specific day and time each week tends to infringe on the rights of other priority groups and activities and limits the flexibility of the Parks & Recreation personnel in allocating limited facilities to activities that are of a higher priority in nature. Mr. Cole recommended that the permit (for Bingo) be ap- proved as a Class #5 Group and refer the adopted policies to the Parks & Recreation Commission for study and possible revisions in order to eliminate ambiguity and uncertainty in their interpretation and application. Council discussion A general discussion followed in which the Council reviewed the present City policy pertaining to fees and organiza- tions using City facilities; criteria for each of the classifications; rentals and use of the facility (Loma Verde) by one specific group on an on-going basis; the percentage of use of the facility; and a need for a re- evaluation of the present organization's operations in six months. City Council Meeting -9- November 22, 1977 Motion to reclassify It was moved by Councilman Scott and seconded by Council- Filipino Association man Cox that the Filipino American Community Association be classified in Classification #3 and further, that the policy of a group such as this using the facilities on a weekly basis - that it be back before the Council for a review in six months. Discussion of motion Councilman Egdahl noted that a requirement of the policy is that application for use of the facility must be made two weeks in advance of the date of the activity. He added that it should be clearly understood that there is no committment on the part of the City to give this as- sociation priority use of the building. A1Manese requesting Mr. Manese spoke against the recommendations made by the South Bay Filipino City Manager. He gave the Council a background of the Community Association inauguration of the Association, the monies collected and the help given its members. Mr. Manese asked for ap- proval of the motion and for a deferral of the fees for a period of three months to pay for the equipment (Bingo).
