PUBLIC COMMENTS Phil Hoxey, 43318 Cielo De Azul, spoke in opposition to the manner in which the Council selected a Councilmember to fill the vacancy left by Councilmember Parks. He stated that the Council violated public trust by denying the voters the right to vote at a special election in May. Councilmember Stone responded that he was in favor of holding a special election, but had been informed by Counsel that November was the first date available to hold a special election. Sam Pratt, 40470 Brixton Cove, spoke in opposition to the process of selection for a Councilmember to fill the vacancy. He stated that this was a growing community danger because the Council had twice denied the public the right to vote for the past two vacancies. He believes this is a mis-use of political power. Joan Sparkman, 30554 San Pasqual Road, representing the Temecula Chamber of Commerce, reported on the status of tourist information being sent out through the Chamber as a result of over 1,000 calls requesting information on Temecula.

He also announced that the Wine Country Chapter of the City of Hope will present a Night at the Oskars at the Temecula Stampede on Saturday night, February 17, 1996 and invited the entire community to participate and help raise money for cancer victims.

This received consensus approval of the Council. 31.Temecula Valley In-Line Hockey Association Reauest Shawn Nelson presented the staff report. He reported that the Association had raised $15,000 in cash and $5,000 for in-kind services, but $12,500 is still needed to meet the matching request. Staff recommends the Council consider appropriating $32,500. Councilmember Roberts reported that he had looked into obtaining a grant for building these facilities which would qualify for a Community Development Block Grant. Since the 95/96 financial cycle has been allocated, he recommended this could be explored in the 96/97 budget. Councilmember Stone spoke in support for this request and asked staff to explore a means of financing. r:\minutes\021396 -3- John J. Winder, 31035 Riverton Lane, representing the Temecula Valley In-Line Hockey Association, thanked Shawn Nelson and Councilmember Stone for their support of this request. He explained the purpose of the Association is to provide roller hockey facilities to the children of Temecula, which are seriously needed in the community. Mayor Pro-Tem Birdsall asked the size of the league and the projected timeline for construction. John Winder responded there were 200 child participants in the league and plans could be submitted within 2 to 3 weeks of funding. Councilmember Stone expressed concern with using general fund money, but suggested since this meets the criteria for communityfunds, it could be allotted in June of 1996, out of Community Services funds. Councilmember Roberts spoke in support of the project and recommended funding through the Community Services Fund. He stated that he will work with staff to make funds available. Councilmember Ford spoke in support of this project and commended the Association for their efforts. He expressed concern with using the general fund because it may set precedent.
