Ms. Carter thanked the business owners for attending the meeting and announced that University <br />City Police Chief, Charles Adams, will attend the next meeting. <br />Questions/Comments and discussion: <br />The group agreed that input must be gathered from the youth. <br />-Many of the kids involved in U City Society are from private schools. It is well <br />coordinated. <br />-Kids have to be made aware of what is happening and have to be involved. <br />-Do we know what kids want? We all must communicate. <br />-There are programs at the community center. Some things are too expensive for kids to <br />get involved in. <br />-Centennial Commons is an adult center. It is for those who can afford it. <br />-Lowering prices could get more people involved. <br />-Maybe they could have certain days that are set aside for kids to come. <br />-Did some of the problems start when kids were kicked out of the malls? <br />-Yes. From the Galleria. <br />-Perhaps the city schools could make a point to let the kids know about the curfew in The <br />Loop. <br />-We need to find activities for youth – good activities for youth. <br />-Would kids come to activities? <br />-Perhaps some programs should be eliminated in order to put money toward programs for <br />youth. <br />-Maybe some existing programs need to be re-oriented to be more for youth and not all <br />geared toward adults. <br />-Perhaps we need a pilot program in University City. For example, a three-on-three <br />basketball tournament. <br />-We need to address University City kids, but not all the kids involved are from University <br />City. <br />tm;šE <br /> <br />
