Lions Club donated $5,000 worth of equipment called the Castle Watch Program and also distributed one mailer to the citizens explaining this system; the Program underlines that the P.D. has no van; the main concern in the community is meeting the public and working with them relative to protection1this particular program will be able to use what the Lions Club has donated to the City of National City. Mayor Morgan inquired if the old van in the Fire Department could be used. Councilman Van Deventer stated the old van would not be equipped for the use the P.D. has for it; another problem is that the P.D. is borrowing vans from other cities when needed.

Councilman Dalla said he would like to do something about graffiti tonight, something tentative; there is definite merit in setting aside a small amount of money to develop a nominal program of having some paint available and making it available to those people who have had that problem on more than one occasion. Councilman Dalla continued Council should say what they want in the (GRS) budget and what they don't want in it and then refer it back to the City Manager to work it out and find some place to get that money; it isn't Council's job to say we're going to give it to this one and take it from that one; Council's job is to approve certain items. Moved by Dalla, seconded by Van Deventer, we appropriate $3,000 for paint. Councilman Van Deventer asked if this program would fall in a category that would be under Mrs. Bareno's program? Mrs. Bareno replied they wanted to educate the people who are painting graffiti on the walls, that is one of the problems they wanted to address in this program. In answer to the question on how this program would help solve the problem of graffiti, Mrs. Bareno said primarily the kids who paint graffiti on walls are drop -outs; there are youth groups that will subsidize payment to low-income kids to paint over graffiti on walls.
