Martinez Boys and Girls Club will provide various summer recreational programs
for the youth of Bayo Vista Housing development. Some of these programs
include social recreation where youth will develop interpersonal skills through
games and activities that encourage team playing and making new friends.
Another program titled Smart Moves is designed to encourage young people
ages 7-18 to make the right choices in avoiding drug/alcohol abuse and teen
pregnancy prevention. Transportation and field trips will also be included. The
program will begin June 13, 2000 and end August 31, 2000.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to approve the expenditure of
funds from the Housing Authority Management Funds to authorize the 2000
Summer Recreation Programs in Bay Point, and Rodeo, those areas will be
deprived of programs which provide recreational, educational and social
activities to its youth participants and their families.
