Mesa council rejects teen program funding
Mesa City Council refused funding for the Boys and Girls Club teen center for the next fiscal year, despite Human Services Advisory Board support. Gary Yazna said the agency sought 50000 to staff a teen center and outreach, to be matched with another two hires, but the council questioned funding sources and timing. The city previously approved 569178 for nine programs for at risk youths through June 1995, with much gang prevention money directed to city programs.
