21. Regvlar Meeting March 25, 2002 Page 2 lane road as proposed in Sector Five. ( 5) John Raper, of Austin Apartment Association, stated he was opposed to the Noise and Party Ordinances. He stated he felt holding owners and managers responsible for tenants lS unfair. (6) Reece Morrison stated he was opposed to the Noise and Party Ordinances. He felt the Ordinances would be impossible to enforce. He also stated the Council should increase the fines of the Ordinances the City already has in effect. (7) Craig Corbin, Chairman of the San Marcos Youth Commission, stated he was disappointed in the Council's decision to eliminate two positions on the Youth Commission. He stated he understood the Council is concerned about meeting a quorum, but in two years of meetings, the Commission has only missed having a quorum twice. Mr. Corbin requested the Council reinstate the two positions to the Commission and let the Gary Job Corps position be one of the three positions from one of the youth organizations. ( 8) Dr. Randy Rogers stated he thinks the City could save money by adopting an Ordinance similar to the one the City of Austin adopted, which the City of Austin created for a public parkland extraction program.

If the Council decided to form such a committee, he would be interested in chairing this committee. He also stated he has spoken with four of the SMCISD School Board Members and they support this idea. (9) Carol Peters stated she was the former Adult at-large person on the Youth Commission, when the Council eliminated two positions.
