II. Q~~ Business
1. The time of the dance has been changed from 7:00 p.m. - 9:30 g.m.
to 8:00 - 10:30 p.m. The time was changed because the commission
feels more students will attend with the dance beginning at 8 p.m.
2. The commission discussed whether or not they should charge $3 in
advance for the dance and $3.50 at the door. Their final
decision was to charge $3 at the door and there will be no
advance ticket sales.
3. The commission members worked in their committee groups
discussing and planning what needs to be done for the dance. At
the next meeting on March 14, 1989 each committee will report
what they have accomplished and what yet needs to be done, so
final preparations for the dance can be made.

Dear City Council:
I would like to suggest an idea that could be advantageous
to high school students and also the police department, parents,
and the City of Saratoga as well. I think we need a safe
gathering place for teenagers to get together for dancing, games,
and socializing.
I feel that an inviting gathering place could decrease the
number of unsupervised teenage parties in Saratoga. Teenagers
could gather there to be with friends and enjoy themselves.
Teenagers are always complaining that there isn't anything
to do in Saratoga. We could solve this problem by establishing
a center for teenagers. Parents would be assured that their kids
are in a good environment, while the kids are having a great time.
I am well aware of the unsuccessful attempt to establish
a fathering place in the past. However, I feel that it is time
to try again! 47e need a fun,relaxing, and safe place to meet our
friends and other teenagers.
Very truly yours,
~~~ ~
