VII. DIRECTOR'S REPORT: Ms. Corona informed the Steering Committee that during
negotiations of contracts, a decision was made to take a 5.2%cut from each
subcontractor's budget. Ms. Corona informed the Committee that prior to making this
decision, they conferred with PRS, subcontractors were notified and they were asked how
their program would be impacted by the reduced budget. Ms. Corona advised the
Committee that all subcontractors were able to adequately adjust their budget with the
reduction. Mr. Semtner informed the Committee that the basis for this decision was to
avoid one subcontractor from absorbing a total reduction of approximately$22,000. Mr.
Semtner advised the Committee that the percentage decrease from each subcontractor
was a more fair way of allocating funds.
Ms. Corona provided the Steering Committee with the revised budget for each
subcontractor. Mr. Semtner invited Steering Committee members to attend the City
Council meeting on Tuesday, May 20, 2003. He informed them that Park and Recreation
Director, Dan Whitworth will be doing an update presentation on CYD. The Steering
