also present. At the suggestion of the Chairman,
it was moved by Mr. Carter, seconded by Mrs. Faist,
and carried, that the Board move to a committee of
the whole and carry on an informal discussion with
the City Council members.
Mayor Morris explained briefly his reason for
suggesting a joint meeting, i.e., the District
and the City have many common problems and perhaps
some of them can be solved by cooperation of the
two agencies.
Councilman Liewer suggested the possible use of the
Mayor's Blue Ribbon Committee in carrying out
building maintenance such as repainting. He said here
is quite a group of people willing to provide
service on a volunteer basis. It was the consensus
of the group that prior to undertaking such a
volunteer program certain questions as to liability
would have to be answered.
Members of the Board emphasized that the District
has had excellent cooperation from the Police
Department but is currently hiring security personnel
under the E. E. A. program. The primary concern
of the security patrol is the presence of unauthorized
people on the school grounds. In discussing further
security assistance by the Police Department, it
was suggested that the only place there seems to be
a problem is at the junior high school. Mr. Richard
Waranius asked about the neighborhood watch program
provided by mothers of school children, and
operation of the "Community Watch" when the children
are going to and from school was explained by Dr.
Loutensock.
""" Lighting in the park area near Holler School was
mentioned, and the Mayor suggested that the City
Manager check with the Superintendent of Schools
about improved lighting, and also suggested that
Mr. Waranius contact the P.T.A. relative to the
Community Watch program.
G
Joint School Purchase by the School District of the former City
Board/City Hall and problems of re location of the administrative
Council offices and corporation yard were discussed. The
meeting joint us e of facilities was suggested, specifically
a joint corporation yar d and relocation of the
administ rative offices to the proposed new library
building which could be increased in height to
provide office space.
Problems involved in allowing credit to students
who participate in Recreation Department sports programs
was discussed at the suggestion of Dr. Waite. Dr.
Loutensock questioned the school being permitted to
allow credit for programs outside of school and
eliminating the required physical education class.
It was suggested by Mayor Morris that Dr. Loutensock
and City Manager Prince might study the matter further.
Mr. Steve Smith, of the Los Angeles Times, asked if
year round school has been considered and Dr. Loutensock
said it is under study at this time.
Development of the neighborhood park at Lindbergh
School under Federal grant was discussed, with the
City Manager suggesting that a joint application for
funds be made.
After discussing the benefit of further joint meetings
with the Board of Education, it was moved by Council-
man Liewer, seconded by Councilman Rowe, and carried,
that another meeting be scheduled for Wednesday,
August 2. 1972.
