administrative decisions. After hearing the applicant and/or a representative present their case,
and after hearing anyone from the public wishing to speak on the matter, the Board members
vote for approval or denial of the application. A super majority of 4 votes is needed to
approve all matters.

BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT - PAGE 2 OF 2
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS'
From June to December, 2003 the Board heard approximately 62 cases, including
variance and appeal cases, progress reports, and requests for modifications and extensions of
time. The Board also heard continued cases and cases involving introduction of new tenants
at locations that had previously been granted variances for similar operations.
The Board's accomplishments up until now have been limited to adoption of amended
by-laws and holding hearings during its monthly meetings. In those cases where
variances have been granted, stringent conditions have generally been imposed on the
property in an effort to minimize and/or eliminate any detrimental effect the variance(s) might
otherwise have on neighbors and the community in general.

BOARD OR COMMITTEE NAME: Scott Rakow Youth Center Advisory Board
CHAIRPERSON: Lisa Austin
CITY LIAISON: Ellen Vargas
NUMBER OF MEETINGS HELD SINCE June 2003: 5
ACTIVITY:
The Youth Center Advisory Board met 5 times over the past six months, focusing
primarily on efforts to get the ice rink and locker rooms completed
and open to the public. In mid-October, we invited the City Manager and Commission
Saul Gross to tour the facility to see the progress of the rink.
Construction continued at a snail's pace through the fall, and into the winter. The
rink's opening is now projected for mid-January; the locker rooms will
take longer to complete due to faulty ADA compliance.
Page 20f 3
FUTURE ACTIVITIES
I
The Youth Center board intends to be very involved with Phase II construction
planning and will monitor implementation by whichever contractor is chosen.
The City has advised the board that the public will be invited to attend an information
session about Phase II and be allowed to comment on the design and accompanying
programming planned for the facility.
The board intends to follow up on a need for a green space, and wants to see the
creation of such a play area incorporated into Phase II construction.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

We have been successful in keeping the needs of the Youth Center before the Mayor
and Commission and City Manager's office. We are continuing to try to assist Youth
Center personnel in their quest to create a more efficient and professional
atmosphere at the facility, and help them disseminate a more positive image to the
public. These efforts are ongoing, and will be a continuing priority for the board this
year.
