TRESPASS
Mr. Brimm reviewed the background behind the proposed ordinance.
Trustee Braiman stated that he was disappointed that information on this proposal was not available earlier than this
meeting.
Trustee Berman stated that he understands the rationale behind this effort,but he is concerned with the fact that the
youth of the community already perceive themselves as being subjected to a lack of respect because of the business
community because of their age;he would like to refer this proposal to the Youth Commission for their input before
acting on it.
Trustee Glover stated that this was a major topic of discussion at the recent Youth Commission meeting,and the
youth believe that they are discriminated against by many of the business owners;they are in the process of
distributing a survey to go out into the community to ask the business owners different questions about their
relationships with the youth of the community;the Youth Commission also plans to work with the president of the
Chamber of Commerce in trying to smooth over relations between many of the business owners and the youth of the
community. Trustee Glover would like to see this topic handled very carefully so as not to disenfranchise the youth
in the community.
Trustee Marienthal agrees with Trustee Glover;he believes the youth in the community are going to take a very
proactive approach,and he believes that relations between them and the businesses will improve.
Trustee Braiman stated that he is not as concerned as he originally was with the proposed ordinance;he believes it is
a good idea to have the Youth Commission involved.
Moved by Berman,seconded by Braiman,to defer action on this item until staff can gather input and comments
from the Youth Commission.
