Mr. Calabrese advised it is not necessary that a decision be made on the use of the Revenue Sharing funds at this time, the actual decision will be made when the budget is approved.

Mrs. Bea Hernandez, 258 East N Street, Colton, spoke to the City Council regarding the allocation of Revenue Sharing funds, and distribution of these funds by the City. Mrs. Hernandez stated she was representing the Veterans Memorial Youth Com- mittee and they were requesting an amount of $50,000, from the approximate $3359000 the City should be receiving, to be used towards recreational facilities and programs for the youth of the community, who seem to have been forgotten. Mrs. Hernandez also expressed her disappointment in the fact that the Revenue Sharing Public Hear- ing, held June 12, was at 4:00 p. m., when people were working and were not able to attend. Mrs. Hernandez stated the Revenue Sharing funds are for the community as a whole, and should not be earmarked for the Police and Fire Departments only. Mrs. Hernandez ,1UN 15 1979
