The City Council reviewed the Police Department programs and
requested that the School Resource Officer Program be added
to the budget which would provide for an additional officer to
be available at Cypress High School as well as at the junior
high schools in the City. The City Council was also advised
of the discussion which the City Manager held with the owners
of the proposed Cypress Roller Skating Rink regarding the
levying of an admissions tax and the provision of police
security at the rink and the City Council requested the City
Manager to prepare a report on this matter along with a proposed
ordinance to be prepared by the City Attorney. The City Council
further determined that the City would not participate in the
West Orange County Hot Line Program at this time due to the
involvement of the City with Straight Talk Clinic which
provides a similar service.
The City Council proceeded to review the remaining portions of
the budget. Following considerable discussion regarding the
Arts and Cultural Commission program, the City Council agreed
that this program be transferred to the Recreation and Park
District and that an Arts Coordinator be employed at a salary
of $12,000 per year to work with the Commission under the
guidance of the Recreation and Park Director. The Council
suggested that a joint meeting be held with the Arts and Cul-
tural Commission on Monday, June 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the Admin-
istrative Conference Room to discuss this issue.
The City Council reduced the Chamber of Commerce program to
include funding through December 31, 1976 at which time the
current contract with the Chamber is due to expire. The Council
requested that the additional funds from the Chamber program
be placed in the Community Promotion program. The City Council
was advised by Mayor MacLain that additional funds may be
needed to complete the Bicentennial program activities, however,
the budget amount would remain the same until such time as a
further report is presented to the Council by the Bicentennial
Committee to determine whether or not additional funds will be
required. The City Council agreed to provide additional
funds to the Youth Commission for attendance at conferences
relating to Youth Commission activities. The City Council
agreed to provide sufficient funds in the Community Promotion
program to participate in the annual May Festival and Parade
and to reinstate community promotion funds in the Recreation
and Park District program to fund the May Festival and Parade
costs as well as costs for the Christmas Community Sing with
offsetting revenues to be transferred from the City General
Fund to the Recreation and Park District for those purposes.
The City Council further agreed to reinstate the position of
Administrative Aide/Community Promotion since the CETA funds
which had been previously allocated for this position had been

reinstated. The Council held considerable discussion regarding
the duties and responsibilities of this position and reviewed
the proposed format of the City newsletter which is proposed
to be combined with the Recreation and Park District brochure
on an experimental basis.
The City Council agreed to proceed with the Records Management
Program and approved the acquisition of an additional reader
as a capital outlay item in the amount of $3,250. Considerable
discussion was held regarding the utilization of the existing
library at Moody and Myra and it was recommended that the Team
prepare a report for consideration by the City Council at its
meeting of June 28 and that a preliminary meeting be held with
representatives of the Boys' Club to determine the feasibility
of allowing the Boys' Club to use the facility on a short term
basis. It was further suggested that staff determine whether
or not Community Development funds might be made available for
the conversion of this facility and the existing Boys' Club
facility for community type uses. The City Council requested
that additional information be provided on the telephone costs
and agreed in principle to implement the Telecommunications
Program as outlined in the Team report to the City Council.
