Mayor Baker stated that sometime ago, upon request, a committee composed of Commission's Bunker and Fountain was designated to meet with a group regarding a youth program. Mayor Baker further remarked that it appeared as though there were many groups and civic organ­izations within the City who were in one way or another active or interested in a youth program, that the formation of the P.A.L. organization of the Police Department was a- nother step in the right direction. However, in his opinion, there was an apparent need of the City to assume the responsibility of spearheading the organization of a coordinated effort to develop a positive program that would result in definite steps being taken to formulate a coordinated youth program. Mayor Baker then asked to hear from the Commit­tee at this time. Commissioner Bunker reported that the Committee had met with various groups and spent a great deal of time studying and working on a youth program. He stated that he was in complete accord with the remarks of the Mayor concerning the need for the City to spear-head a positive coordinated program and reported that a meeting was scheduled for Friday, March 29, 1957 to which representatives of groups who expressed an interest in participating in such a program have been invited. He further stated that as a result of this meeting, he hoped that a definite plan would be formulated to be presented to the Mayor and Board of City Commissioners in the immediate future. Commissioner Fountain moved the resignations of Gerald Stewart and Robert Schmutzer as members of the Planning Commission be accepted and the Clerk authorized to send a letter of appreciation for the service they have ren­dered to the City as members of that Commission.
