Councilman Taylor requested that the Boy's Club inform the
Council that if they do not receive the requested funds they
will be no longer able to operate.
C. -Councilman, ,Tay,16rt requested the following conversation be
Mayor Cichy stated "with regard to the Boy's Club-2 years ago i
the Boys Club put together a
proposal for $88,000. After reviewing
the tapes, I find my memory is. very correct. The $88,000 was to
be spent for a two year period not a 1 year period regardless what
the contract called for, regardless of what you later thought or
tried to implement]. That program which was presented to the Councili
I know there isisome dispute about the interpretation on that. That
Pontract:ccalled: .for •t he-money to`.be'"spent'.over a periof of time
which they would not be coming back to the local government to set
up an organization or continue to finance that organization. I said
it last year and I will repeat it again, at that time they were so
convincing that they could set up a program to implement and help
those youths in our community which are receiving other sources and
other benefits,-.from other organizations but they were trying to put
together specific programs, but it was affor a 2 year period of time.
They stated catagorically, Mr. Hollopeter was at those hearings, they
would be funded and they would not come back to the City Council for
more funds. With regards to that, I whole heartily supported that
program. I felt that the City Council stuck their necks out, that
we invested a large amount of money. It turned out that we invested
$57,000 a year for the last 2 years.to fund an organization which
has not been.able to get itself going, to get off the ground, to go.
out in the community that they stated they were going to do for us.
We have a lot of organizations that are continuing. We have the
Juvenile Diversion Project, we fund Ingleside through various pro-
grams, we fund the YMCA through various programs. We do fund those
tvnes of oraanizntinn.. that meet the neerla of the cPma nannla that
0 the Boys Club seek to help on certain levels With regards to the
$57,000 a year, ve funded no organizat=''.to that amount.' We
have not come cl to funding an~organizat which are continu-
'ing organizations.' Seeing that we have taken on a burden and I
put myself in.part~of the blame for voting for it in the 1st place.
It is a very good. concept. It has worked in other communities. It
has not worked in this community."
Councilman Imperial requested that the following statement
be verbetum.
Councilman Imperial stated "I am looking at $114,000. I have
to ask you,t•if you worked for a company and your'employer comes to
you and says I see $114,000 is missing and where did it go. If I
told him 'hey, boss, it's o.k., it is all taken care of . I have
asked some questions here tonight and I didn't get the type of
answers I wanted. I have tried to understand this. I can find
nothing tangible. Nothing I`can put my hands on. If instead of
giving the Boy's Club that $88,000 we had bought land with a build-
ing on it then I could understand it. I would like to be able to
explain this $114,000 to the citizens of this.community.
Councilman Taylor commented on the fact that the reason that
the Boy's Club is request ing,the,'dfun'ds.is because the United Crusade
is not able to give them the money that they had requested.
Councilman Imperial requested that the following statement
be verbetum.

Las Vegas and coming back empty handed and keep going back to

budget of $5,000 for travel expense account. This year we have
