COUNCIL BUSINESS
22 Temecula Vallev Student of the Month Proaram
(At the request of Councilman Washington)
RECOMMENDATION:
22.1 If so desired by the City Council, authorize $2,000 in Community Service Funding
for the Temecula Valley Student of the Month Program.
City Manager Nelson presented the staff report (as per agenda material), reviewing the existing
Student of the Month Program; advising of the associated annual cost of $2,000 to provide a
video taping service; recommending that the $2,000 be allocated to the Temecula Valley Unified
District Foundation; and stating that the proposed funding would meet the City's Community
Services Funding Program guidelines.
Having attended this program on a monthly basis, Councilman Washington commented on the
positive recognition this program provides to the students but noted that the video taping
expense has been subsidized on a personal basis and, therefore, proposed the support of the
$2,000.
Having as well attended the monthly Student of the Month Program, Councilwoman Edwards
commented on the worthiness of this program.
I
Because the Temecula Valley Unified School District boundaries exceed that of the City's,
Mayor Pro Tem Roberts recommended that the Third District Supervisor get involved with the
program in an effort to make it a joint program.
Although advising that the existing program only recognizes high school seniors from high
schools within the City's limit, Councilman Washington echoed Mayor Pro Tem Roberts'
recommendation for a joint City-County effort. Mr. Washington requested that aiding in the
production process of the DVDs be explored; noted that the program is heart warming; and
commented that student recognition is not solely based on academic achievement but also
personal achievement.
Having attended the program himself on quite a few occasions, Mayor Comerchero expressed
his support of the recommendation.
MOTION: Councilman Washington moved to authorize $2,000 in Community Services Funding
to the Temecula Valley Unified School District Foundation for video taping service for the
Student of the Month Program. Mayor Pro Tem Roberts seconded the motion and the
electronic vote reflected unanimous approval.
