HAVE WE HAD OUR LAST “FIRST NIGHT”? “First Night” in Fullerton has been a successful event for at least five years, earning the attention of even 60 Minutes and CBS. Now, because of city budget woes, even though city staff and council would like to continue the “signature” event, as some term it, there is the vexing question of how to fund it. The council flailed the subject for at least an hour, refusing to come up with $37,390 needed to start the process. “A lot of dancing around, with nobody stepping up to bat,” as Flory put it. City downsizing, a revenue shortfall in the last 4th of July event, the loss, through termination and illness, of key city events staff, the prospect that increased ticket prices will result in less revenue, and the fact that next New Year’s Eve falls on a Sunday evening— all compound the problem. Finally, Flory moved that $30,000 be appropriated from the city general fund for partial support, asking staff to explore the legalities of funding part of the cost (related to the Transportation Center area) with redevelopment funds. Staff was given 2 weeks to return with an answer. The vote was 4-1 with Norby voting no. Flory also asked that the downtown merchants get more involved in the problem.

But Joe Burnett’s skills as a baseball coach have not gone without notice and appreciation. One SHHS parent leader whose son has played ball under Joe, told the Observer “The kids love him. He was very good to our son, listening and caring about his problems and grades. We were very sur­ prised to hear he is being replaced. He’s very good for the young men in the baseball program,” she said. Her husband was also very complimentary. “The kids who played for Joe respected him. He knows a lot and worked hard developing coaching skills. He was also good about helping the boys with social and other problems,” he said. In addition to baseball, music is Joe second love, and his other means of income, as he works as a disk-jockey through­ out the area. Burnett told us he has already qualified for a B.S. in Human Services Psychology from CSUF, subject only to the successful completion of a final exam in December for one lower-division science course. He also plans to continue working for a Master’s degree, also at CSUF.

For the city of Fullerton it appears a wash: no cost to the city since all costs of forming the assessment district will be paid from maintenance needs, and the excellent reputation of administrative monies in the district.
