City Council Meeting Minutes June 5,2018 <br /> that Corridor Title Company sponsored. This will be held again in October. <br /> Two other events include a mud water volleyball tournament and car wash <br /> event. With the support of Council we can achieve our goals. <br /> John Barthel,spoke as a volunteer for CASA, he encourages Council to <br /> continue funding. CASA serves foster children caught in the system and our <br /> sole role is to make sure they do not get overlooked. These children get <br /> everything they need so they are safe and out of harms way. We have asked for <br /> a certain allocated amount,and the past three years you have responded. <br /> Although our growth is rapid the dollars do not increase. We are requesting <br /> grant funds in the amount of$45,000. <br /> Joseph Ptak,would like to see the creation of a set of rules,especially bylaws <br /> and regulations,for boards and commissions. Mr. Ptak served on the Arts <br /> Commission and they realized bylaws were needed.These were created and <br /> submitted to City Council for approval. This allows the ability to create Ad <br /> Hoc Committees and this is one of the necessities of these bylaws. Members of <br /> these Ad Hoc Committees include various people from various different <br /> organizations throughout our community. <br /> Seth Worley,spoke as a CASA board member. He thanked Council for their <br /> past support. CASA is continuing to do great things and we are not keeping up <br /> with the growth. We are not even at the half way mark. He publically thanked <br /> Miriam McCoy for her very generous gift so construction on their building will <br /> soon be underway. <br /> Lynnette Lombardo,spoke as a CASA services representative and expressed <br /> her support of funding. Ms.Lombardo noted that CASA advocated for 94 <br /> children in San Marcos last year. She worked on a dozen child abuse cases and <br /> stated no two cases are the same. Volunteering with CASA is like no other <br /> experience she has ever had and she encourages anyone that would like to <br /> volunteer to remember these three things: know the specific issues your specific <br /> child faces, know the resources available to you,and be the voice that gets the <br /> conversation started. Get involved and help these children find safe and <br /> supportive homes. <br /> Carol J. Grimm,spoke as a CASA volunteer since 2001. She stated these <br /> volunteers help taxpayers save money. She shared a personal story of an <br /> individual that was under CASA care and how vital these services are to them. <br /> Please continue to support and grow as our numbers grow. <br /> CONSENT AGENDA <br /> Cly of San Marcos Page 2 <br />
