A summary of program costs has been included as an attachment to this report. i:►[A:<ci:��Iil,l 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. ►.3i1 X11 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. Gar Mao 11 Recreation Supervisor Attachments Susan M.
