ORAL PRESENTATIONS 103116 - Reverend Larry Holmes, 320 Courtland, presented a proposal for a Waterloo Community Teen Center with adults involved, businesses donating supplies in order to renovate a building and giving kids a chance for summer employment by working to renovate the building. He suggested we apply for grants and matching funds from the community and businesses. His concern was that a lot of these kids do not want to live this kind of life, but they cannot afford joining boys and girls clubs, the YMCA, YWCA, etc. He said it is time that we, as a community, reach out to the young people before we lose them altogether. Classes would be set and businesses would take part in training our young people for jobs like electricians, plumbers, and carpenters helpers so these kids would be eligible for entry level positions on these types of jobs related to construction. Anders/Jordan that the above proposal from Reverend Holmes be received, placed on file and incorporated into the city's Neighborhood Revitalization Youth Initiative program. Jerry Mabry, 1326 West 4th and a representative of Hi-Fi Productions, stated they sponsored a party for 500 children this past weekend. He said no one from the city participated, no policemen came by, and they ran drug dealers away themselves. He said in two weeks they are having a party at Gates Swimming Pool and invited the Mayor and City Council to attend. Mr. Mabry will notify the Mayor's office as a reminder of the party. Councilperson Krizek reminded the public of the Ward 5 Table Talk Discussions to be held on Tuesday, June 14, 1994 at West Intermediate School at 7:00 p.m. Pearl Spates, 227 Mobile, stated she saw a lot of cleaning up in the Fowler Street neighborhood this week, such as tree cutting, grading of the alley and fixing up streets that have not been done before. She is very grateful for this. She is concerned that they sometimes get a bad rap about their neighborhood from the media. She said not all the children here are selling drugs, not all the children here are members of gangs, and they have a group of citizens that are working with kids. David Goodson was concerned about job opportunities for Afro-Americans with the city and also with Black Hawk County. He said it is time we start including Afro- Americans in job positions which are meaningful and worthy rather than slave positions at IBP. Murphy/Collier that the above oral comments be received, placed on file and the Council adjourn at 7:43 p.m. Ayes: Six. Absent: Mollenhoff. Motion carried. Tom Campbell Acting Clerk/Auditor
