during the summer months of 1988 at a cost of $8,498.75; to
continue heating the pool as in the past, and to pro -rate

related use.
10. COMMUNICATIONS
None.
11. TIME FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WISH TO SPEAK:
Ralph Fick, 5710 Rio Hondo Avenue, took the podium on behalf
of the Temple City Youth Volleyball Organization for re-
served use of the facilities at Live Oak Park on April 16.
The organization is being formed to give the youth of Temple
City (2nd - 6th grade) an opportunity to participate in an
organized volleyball program. They would like to use Live
Oak Park for the purpose of registration and a demonstration
and asked that the Commission consider the request an emer-
gency because of the time element.
Commissioner Shaw asked what type of facilities they needed
to play. Mr. Fick said they have portable nets that can be
set up on the grass without leaving holes for the demonstra-
tion.
Director Kobett stated that both Commission and City Council
approval were necessary because registration included the
collection of fees on the Park.
Commissioner Shaw moved that the Commission waive Section
54954.2(b)(2) of the Government Code identifying the request
to be of an emergency nature, and to act on it right then
due to the fact that the next Commission meeting is not
until April 20 and the date requested is April 16. Commis-
sioner Adams seconded the motion and it was unanimously
approved.
Commissioner Adams asked if the league would be just for
Temple City residents. Ralph Fick replied that it would be
primarily for Temple City youth, but that it would be open
to other cities as well.
Commissioner Crump said it could be very beneficial.
Commissioner Adams asked what the differences were between
regular 9 -man volleyball and their volleyball. Mr. Fick
said that the differences were that the size of the court is
smaller and that only 2 -3 people play on a side. This
enables all the kids to participate since the ball must be
hit at least twice on each side -- more like beach
volleyball.
Commissioner Shaw made a motion that the Commission
recommend to City Council that the group be allowed to use
the Park for registration and a demonstration subject to a
valid Certificate of Insurance. Commissioner Crump seconded
the motion and it was unanimously approved.
The Commission then recalled Item 5 for consideration.
5. DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1988 -89.
Director Kobett informed the Commission that they had in
their packets the Recurrent Leadership Budget which is
similar to last years, with the exception of the expansion

of the summer day camp, and the addition of new tables and
chairs for the new room which will be available once the
improvements are done to the northwest corner of the Park.
The Live Oak Park project is out to bid, which will offset
the budget because it will not be completed by the current
fiscal year. The projected starting date is May 2 and the
projected ending date is in August.
Commissioner Adams concurred with the proposed budget.
Commissioner Shaw concurred with the proposed budget.
Commissioner Crump concurred with the proposed budget.
Commissioner Caswell concurred with the proposed budget.
12. DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Director Kobett said a copy of the report was in the Commis-
sioners' packets, and that he had nothing to add.
13. MATTERS FROM CITY OFFICIALS
Commissioner Adams - nothing.
Commissioner Shaw - nothing.
Commissioner Crump - nothing.
Commissioner Caswell - nothing, except that Commissioner
Burlingame and he will be in Australia for the next meeting
and thus unable to attend.
12. ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, it was moved by Commis-
sioner Crump and seconded by Commissioner Shaw and unani-
mously carried that the meeting be adjourned to the meeting
scheduled for April 20, 1988 at p.m. Chairman Caswell
adjourned the meeting at 8:15 p. �—
