Thorman Elementary Schools for eight weeks this summer would be

- swimming pool. The cost to provide a basketball clinic once a week
for eight weeks at the Tustin Boys and Girls Club would be $1,500.

The Community Services Department brought proposals for summer
programs before Council in May 1992. The programs were in response
to a community survey. Southwest Tustin was targeted for action
because many youth in this area are considered at risk.
Survey results indicated that traditional City programs were not
reaching the residents of southwest Tustin. There was a lack of
positive recreational activities available for area youth. Council
appropriated funding to provide summer playground programs at
Heideman and Thorman Elementary Schools and a basketball clinic at
the Tustin Boys and Girls Club. Applications for use of the school
playgrounds and the Boys and Girls Club gymnasium have been
submitted. Fees to use these facilities were waived last year.
Attendance at each of the playgrounds averaged 25-30 children per
day. Activities included sports, games, special events and field
trips. The basketball clinic had an enrollment of 52 children with
__ 25-30 attending each week.
The Community Services Department is submitting an application to
the U.S. Department of Agriculture to sponsor the Summer Food
Service Program at Heideman school. Children 18 years of age and
under would receive free lunches weekdays. Community Services
Recreation Leaders would be responsible for monitoring the program.
There would be no additional cost to the City.
The Tustin Effective Apartment Managers (TEAM) addressed the
Commission in April. TEAM members requested that the summer
programs be continued and that a year around playground program be
offered in Southwest Tustin. Staff will research costs and
alternative sources of funding for any additional programs and
report back to the Council later this summer.

Last year summer programs brought together the resources of the
City, the Tustin Unified School District and the community for
Tustin youth. Children who otherwise would have spent the summer
unsupervised were exposed to positive recreational activities. The
school playgrounds were well attended by children and their
parents. This summer the children in the Heideman School area
would be provided nutritional lunches free of charge on weekdays.
Funding for the playground programs and the basketball clinic has
been requested in the 1993/94 Budget proposal. The Council needs
to make a funding commitment now since the 1993/94 Budget may not
be adopted until late summer.
