ORAL COMMUN IC AT I ONS JIM SUTHERLAN D, 396 Dominguez Way, El Cajon, was present and said he wished to discuss the flyer given out by the pickets out front this evening; he said last week he attended the Council meeting and heard some discussion of this problem, including some of the comments by some of the councilmen; at that time he heard comments to the effect that this problem was, in fact, a problem of the community as a whole but as to a real solution to it, they couldn't really look to their Police Department, to the City Council, to the Jaycees and any community organization, but it was really something they would have to look to the parents and the individuals for; the point was 1/12/71 258 very well taken; however, he thought that one of the reasons he voted when he goes to the polls was not to just elect a representative to be a legis- lator and to pass regulations but also for their leadership qualities. MRS. MARY HOLTHAUS, 1233 Palmer Way, was present and said she was before them as their representative to the South Bay Committee on Drug Abuse and outlined the work of the Committee. Councilman Hogue inquired if she had any suggestion to the Council as to what they should do. Mrs. Holthaus said they had received $4,500.00 from Chula Vista and National City; they have a drug abuse series running in the newspaper; they go free into every home in the Sweetwater District; they need money to run these series. There was discussion. Councilman Hogue said he was ignorant about Mrs. Holthaus i position; she told him she represented his city and inquired how she achieved this spot she said she had in representing his city; he didn rt know she rep- resented his city; how did she get this position. Mrs. Holthaus said to tell him the truth, she really didn't know; she had a letter from Mr. Osburn dated November 30 and it states: "to Sgt. Wayne Brown, Police Department, from C. Osburn„ City Manager, that Mrs. Mary Holthaus, National City repre- sentative to the South Bay Drug Abuse Committee has requested the city appoint someone else assist her with some of the meetings involved; after a discussion with Chief Cagle, you are appointed as an alternate to this committee; please contact Mrs. Holthaus regarding meetings, places and if you will be required to attend." Councilman Hogue told the City Manager that Mrs. Holthaus said she represents the city and asked him to inform them how she became their representative. City Manager Osburn said he didn't recall how it was done, whether it was done by the Mayor or by the Council; he would have to check back and find out about it.
