COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION MIN ,S :'age 2

of
2. Based upon a recent surve: :cost communities in the surrounding area
provide a 100% subsidy in Lighting expenses to their youth sports
groups.
3. Youth sports groups provide a tremendous benefit to the community
through their services to our youth and their contributions to the
quality of life enjoyed by all residents of Temple City.
Staff continued that while the City is very supportive of the contributions
that youth sports groups provide the community, the reality is based upon the
City's fiscal projections, funding for the subsidy program may not be
available in the future. consequently, sports groups must consider other
measure to balance their operating budgets.
Commissioner Adams made a motion to recommend that City Council allocate
$4,700 for fiscal year 1993 -94 to subsidize youth sports organizations for
their expense related to sports field lights and to encourage sports groups
to consider measures to absorb 100% of their energy cost within their future
budgets. Seconded by Commissioner Caswell and unanimously approved.
Representatives from the youth sports groups came forward to speak.
John Adams, 10656 Hallwood Drive, Temple City, is president of the Temple
City Youth Football program. He stated last year the football program added
a sixth team. The addition of this team required use of more funding. This
team included community youth that were either too old for football's regular
league or too young for high school football. The desire of the sports group
is to keep youth off the streets. He added the subsidy would keep the cost
of the program affordable to the youth in the community.
Ralph Keyes, 4808 Alessandro, Temple City, Regional Commissioner for the
Temple City American Youth Soccer organization. He thanked the City for
their support in keeping programs reasonable for all to play and stated he
understands the challenging economic times. He stated next year their sports
group will look for ways to reduce expenses and creative ways to finance
their program.
