Council Member Lofy stated he was not happy in the way this matter <br />was brought before the Council and that he is reluctant to proceed <br />with this; however, he is well aware of the funding needs of the local <br />youth programs and it seems this is a way to help those organizations <br />in need. <br />Council Member Roman said he felt the request was worth taking a <br />chance on because the function will help the organizations that the <br />City cannot help. <br />Council Member Cisneros stated she wanted to know what organizations <br />are going to receive the proceeds. <br />Director Gaytan responded the funds raised at the Beer Garden would <br />go to the Gents and Latino Peace Officers. They will split the <br />proceeds. <br />Mr. Joe Mujica, President of the Latino Peace Officers and Vice <br />President of the Gents, stated they would initially receive the <br />funds; however, the funds would eventually be distributed to local <br />organizations. <br />Mr. Mujica stated he had just handed Mr. Gaytan a check for $250.00 <br />for one of Colton's Girls Baseball Teams. It is not unusual for the <br />Gents to disburse 4 - 5 thousand dollars a month. The Gents organiza- <br />tion has $1 Million Liability Insurance and they have conducted Beer <br />Gardens annually in Redlands and San Bernardino without incident. <br />Mayor Gonzales stated he is aware of the Gents work with gangs through <br />San Salvador Church and through their contribution to the Citys Early <br />Intervention Program. <br />Council Member Lofy stated he would like to see a report on what is <br />received and what is dispensed. <br />Council Member Roman asked about security. <br />Mr. Mujica stated the organizations patrol their functions with their <br />membership and private security and are highly responsible. <br />Moved by Council Member Roman, seconded by Council Member Lofy, to <br />approve the request for a Beer Garden as recommended by staff. <br />Motion carried upon Roll Call Vote: Ayes: Roman, Lofy, Gonzales. <br />Noes: Cisneros, Rehrer. <br />Reichel Project <br />City Manager Sotelo stated this is the matter of Park Land in Lieu <br />of Fees and that Mr. Reichel would make a presentation. <br />11 U R 1 6 t9�1 <br />
