[3:20] This is a reminder that today's meeting is being held in compliance with the

[3:24] open meeting law. With that reminder noted, let's move on to agenda item

[3:27] three, public comment on action items. Comments during this portion of the

[3:31] agenda must be limited to matters on the agenda for action. If you wish to be

[3:35] heard, come forward and give your name for the record. The amount of discussion

[3:39] as well as the amount of time any single speaker is allowed may be limited. Is

[3:43] there anyone who wishes to speak at this time?

[3:49] Seeing none, we will close we will close sorry public comment.

[3:54] Item four is for possible action to approve the final minutes of the regular

[3:58] meeting of November 18th, 2025. Do I have a motion to approve the minutes?

[4:05] » A motion to approve the minutes or member or secretary Camrio.

[4:10] » Thank you. Is there a second? >> I second. Members I

[4:15] all those in favor please say I. I >> I

[4:19] » Any opposed? The motion carries.

[4:26] » Item five is an obeyance item, a report by Dr. Luan D. Holmes, city clerk,

[4:31] regarding an overview of Robert's rule of order. Dr. Holmes, you may proceed.

[4:37] Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Lannne Holmes. I'm the city clerk for

[4:42] the city of Las Vegas and we're going to talk a little bit about although you're

[4:46] all doing magnificently a little bit about how to conduct a public meeting.

[4:52] So this is really about um running efficient and fair meetings and we run

[4:57] that in accordance to the parliamentary procedures. Now is that the Robert's

[5:02] rules of order? I think that's what the agenda says. It's more of a modified

[5:06] version of the Robert's rules of order. Um I will tell you the one thing that we

[5:10] don't do is we don't take seconds for our small board. So you can just take a

[5:14] single vote and um make your motion after that. Um but there's benefits to

[5:20] having parliamentary procedures. Some of the benefits is transparency and

[5:24] courtesy for all. Right? We're all going to take turns. We're all going to be

[5:27] civil. It maintains an order and make sure that you um follow your agenda,

[5:32] which you guys are doing well at. Um it gives consideration for one item at a

[5:38] time. Um and all sides get to be heard. Uh you have the ability for each member

[5:44] to provide input. Um and of course it's the majority rules. Um but it also gives

[5:49] protections for rights of all the members including the minority.

[5:54] So let's talk about some basic principles.

[5:58] As you know because I heard you guys talking about it. Your quorum you have

[6:01] to have a quorum before you have a meeting.

[6:06] Do you have you have to have a quorum before you have a meeting and your

[6:09] quorum is 11. The best way to figure this out is you take half the numbers of

[6:14] on your body and you add one. So in this case that's 11.

[6:19] Um all your voting members have equal rights and privileges and obligations to

[6:23] your meetings and no person should speak until recognized by the chair which so

[6:28] far I've seen you do pretty well. um personal remarks or side discussions

[6:33] during um the agenda. We we prefer you not to do that. And you have to keep in

[6:38] mind at all times you are creating a permanent record. So not only what you

[6:42] say in your microphones, but your actions will be forever memorialized in

[6:48] an audio and a video recording of these meetings. Um we ask that you only do one

[6:53] question at a time. Um and only one person at a time should have the floor.

[7:01] So just to clarify roles um the chair is the person that runs the meeting. So

[7:05] chair Wyn is the one that really controls um the speed at which the

[7:10] meeting runs and who speaks. Um she introduces the business in order per the

[7:14] agenda and then she's the one that actually recognizes the speakers. Um by

[7:20] following these procedures it really keeps us focused on the agenda items.

[7:25] Um, and it really uh makes sure that we're not having any sideboard

[7:28] conversations or we're um talking really off the agenda. She'll also put motions

[7:34] to a vote and you guys have already demonstrated that this morning. She'll

[7:38] call for um all those in favor and as you you vote you'll say I. She'll ask

[7:44] all those opposed with a nay and then she will read off the results of the

[7:49] vote and I believe you all have displays up there. You can see how you vote as

[7:52] well. So, just to clarify the additional roles, all the rest of you are members

[7:57] or participants. And so, before you speak, you have to be recognized by the

[8:01] chair before speaking. Um, then be sure that you turn your mics on and off. Um,

[8:07] and you need to state your name clearly for the record, which so far you guys

[8:10] are doing wonderfully. I saw that you all did that. Um, all your comments

[8:14] should be addressed to the chair. So what I mean by that is sometimes you may

[8:18] have one of your uh fellow members will make a comment and you'll just be

[8:22] itching to respond to that person. That's one of the things that we don't

[8:25] want to do. We want you to when you rec respond you need to respond through the

[8:30] chair or to the chair. So you can start that off with madame chair or madame

[8:36] when and you would make your comments. Um again no sidebars no comments. Um, if

[8:43] you are talking amongst the two of you, I will tell you that these microphones

[8:47] are really sensitive and it may pick you up. And again, we can't modify that

[8:51] audio recording. So, it's forever in history um what's being said, but we

[8:56] also want to make sure that you do use your mics um as you should

[9:01] appropriately. Now, there's general rules of debate for small boards. um all

[9:06] items um that are relevant to the agenda are posed for questions or discussions.

[9:12] No member should speak more than twice to each item. Now, let me explain that.

[9:16] Um this really helps with the flow of the agenda. I know a lot of times um the

[9:23] chair will read off an item, one person will speak, and then somebody wants to

[9:27] debate them. What you don't want to do is necessarily debate back and forth.

[9:31] you really want to kind of um make your uh comments kind of concise and in one

[9:37] comment, but if you do need to rebuttal or or speak again, you really need to in

[9:42] fairness make sure that everybody else has already had their first turn at

[9:45] speaking. Um it just kind of prevents somebody from being like a microphone

[9:49] hog and just speaking constantly. Um that's one things that uh sometimes

[9:55] you'll find if the chair isn't controlling the meeting that might

[9:58] happen. Um and debates of course um when you debate an issue it's not personal.

[10:05] So it's not really about the person or um their personality conflict if you

[10:11] have one. It's really about what's been said. That's what you want to discuss

[10:14] and debate. And I'm going to remind you remember you're creating a permanent

[10:19] record. So it's really important that what you say gets picked up by these

[10:22] microphones clearly. Um, and what you don't says a lot. Um, I

[10:31] don't think you guys will really be taking obeyances in most of your votes,

[10:35] but sometimes people obey on an item they don't feel like they want to vote.

[10:38] If you don't speak up and take a vote, it still counts, right? Um, by not

[10:44] saying something, it's almost as important as if you do say something.

[10:48] So, do remember that this is a permanent record and it can't be modified. And

[10:53] that is it. So far, I think you guys are doing wonderfully. You seem to have it

[10:57] all down. Do you have any questions for me?

[11:00] No. All right. Thank you and enjoy your meeting.

[11:04] Thank you for the presentation, Dr. Holmes. Uh we'll we're going to be

[11:08] moving on to agenda item six. Agenda item six is a discussion regarding

[11:13] establishing participation expectations and a meeting engagement structure.

[11:17] Before we open this for discussion, I just want to emphasize the importance of

[11:21] participation in meetings like this. as as members of the Youth Leadership

[11:25] Advisory Council, we're here to represent youth voices, and that only

[11:28] works if we're actively engaging, speaking up, and sharing our um

[11:32] perspectives. Every single one of you bring um a

[11:36] different experience. And those contributions are what make our work

[11:39] meaningful. And so with that, I'll open the floor for discussion on how we can

[11:43] promote more effective membership, member involvement during our meetings.

[11:48] Would anyone like to suggest an idea?

[11:56] Okay. Well, I'll just go ahead and throw um throw an idea out. Um so, I was

[12:03] thinking we could use a simple round robin for bigger discussion items. And

[12:07] so, after a after the topic is introduced, we'd go around and give

[12:11] everyone about a minute to share a thought, um ask a question or even just

[12:15] agree or pass. And that way I feel like it'd be easier for everyone to

[12:20] participate without feeling pressured to jump in or talk over each other. Does

[12:24] anyone have any um comments?

[12:31] » Um member Burton speaking. I agree. I think um even having like maybe like a

[12:36] minimum of one speaking turn per meeting would definitely benefit us all so that

[12:41] we're all engaging correctly.

[12:45] » Thank you. Does anyone else have a comment to add? Any suggestions even?

[12:53] No. Okay. Thank you all. Thank you for the input.

[12:57] Uh I think seeing that we have no further comments, we're going to

[13:01] conclude discussion on this item and move on to the next agenda item.

[13:08] Agenda item seven is a report by youth as solutions participants regarding

[13:12] current work group activities, priority focus areas and youthled

[13:16] recommendations. We'll hear from each work group starting with youth and teen

[13:20] driver safety followed by youth and teen pedestrian safety and finishing with

[13:24] youth and teen bicycle and scooter safety. So at this time I'm going to

[13:28] have member Cohen and member Burton present their what they've um

[13:34] accomplished.

[13:45] Member Cohen, for the record, I believe um uh Dr. Malich has a little bit more

[13:51] information about this uh in terms of the actual um structure of the youth

[13:56] solutions program moving forward. Um if Dr. Malich, you want to say a few things

[14:01] if that's possible. Well, I know you have the complete information about what

[14:05] all of the subcommittees are doing as a whole and I know you're you have all the

[14:10] information about that. So, if you want to share more in depth because I know

[14:13] you have um you have all the relevant um information regarding that.

[14:21] » Thank you. Um Madame Chair, um it Dr. Tammy Malich, youth development and

[14:28] social initiatives director. For the record, um I would request that we go

[14:33] ahead and do the other workg groupoups and get their updates first because we

[14:40] have some updates for sure and then I will share the other opportunities at

[14:45] the conclusion if that's at the pleasure of the chair.

[14:49] » Sure. So we just want to move on to the next group other two groups. Got it.

[14:53] Okay. Thank you. So we're going to hear from youth and teen pedestrian safety

[14:57] group member Mcnalen. You have the floor.

[15:01] » Thank you madam chair member car member Mcnalen for the record. So, as the youth

[15:06] pedestrian uh safety committee leader, uh I've conducted several article

[15:12] several days of research and read several articles, watched several videos

[15:17] and established that phones and distractions are the main cause of

[15:24] fatalities and in injuries and incidents. Uh through this research, I

[15:29] filled out the budget plan that was due in December.

[15:33] uh my team was ill informed and that is um my that is at my fault but I did

[15:41] submit the form into Google Classroom. Uh I don't know if that was fully

[15:46] counted or not and I have not had access to a computer unfortunately to figure

[15:51] out if I could solve that problem. I don't know if our

[15:57] budget plan was accounted for. I did work on that individually. Uh, and

[16:05] I believe I put my hard work and effort into it with all of the research I

[16:08] conducted and I do believe that this is a very important issue and we as a team

[16:14] need to be able to solve it. Thank you.

[16:20] Sorry. And member McN, thank you for your dedication to this group. Are there

[16:24] any additional participants from this group who would like to add to the

[16:27] report? Okay. Now I'll move on to the youth and

[16:31] teen bicycle and scooter safety group. Member Males and member Sai, you have

[16:36] the floor. >> Member Sai for the record. So uh member

[16:40] Minz and I led the ebike and thank you sorry and e scooter committee and we

[16:47] basically did research on the issue to better understand it and we made a bunch

[16:51] of different changes. First, we made um we set up a meeting with Commissioner

[16:56] Justin Jones from Clark County and he led ebike safety ordinances in that

[17:01] area. So, we talked to him and discussed with members of our team to kind of get

[17:05] a better idea on the issue. And we came out we came up with several activities

[17:10] on and solutions that we can implement including safety education assemblies at

[17:14] local schools to increase public awareness. and we're going to be

[17:17] creating flyers, posters, pamphlets, and social media posts about the issue. And

[17:22] thank you to Dr. Malik for your your help. And with your help, we received a

[17:27] $1,000 grant for the project. So, that's a big accomplishment. And I hope a lot

[17:32] of you can join us. Thank you so much. Congratulations on your accomplishment.

[17:37] Are there any other participants from this group would like to add to that

[17:41] report? Thank you all to all the participants

[17:46] for your updates. I believe Miss Malich had something to add.

[17:50] » Thank you um again ch Madam Chair uh Dr. Tammy Malich again for the record um to

[17:57] the points that have already been made. Um couple of things that I would point

[18:02] out. Um the grant is very specific and has very specific deadlines and

[18:08] requirements. And so um those requirements and

[18:12] deadlines have to be met or we lose funding or we lose the ability to

[18:17] continue to participate. And so I've been directly communicating with the

[18:23] leads of each of the three workg groups and um have not necessarily always

[18:29] gotten great responses in some cases or any responses. Um the re the request or

[18:37] requirement was that each of the work groups send me their project plan and

[18:42] budget and I gave them all of the um information and questions outside of the

[18:47] document with the um description that I would then compile it because it's one

[18:53] grant. It's not three separate grants. Um and so um member um Sai and um and

[19:03] member who is your co-chair Sai member Sai

[19:10] » member Mina >> yes um thank you and um member Bullwear

[19:17] both provided me with a project plan and a budget. Member Mcinelen did respond.

[19:24] um she entered her information directly into Google Classroom, but nobody from

[19:29] Youth Solutions um has confirmed that they have it and

[19:33] it's a really tricky um system. I have entered things in there myself and they

[19:38] don't have them. So um I don't doubt that that happened because that's a

[19:42] pretty common problem with Google Classroom or a common problem I'm

[19:47] experiencing as well with Google Classroom. I did submit though the

[19:51] combined project plan and budget from the two workg groups and that as member

[19:58] Sai mentioned we did get a confirmation email from youth solutions um and I

[20:04] really want to commend um the teams that did work on it because not only did we

[20:10] receive the confirmation that we got the grant, we had no edits and every other

[20:16] group that submitted this grant had edits and revisions required which are

[20:21] due by January 23rd. We were the only project that did not require any edits

[20:26] or revisions and the feedback we got was that it was very well written, very um

[20:32] explanatory and put together um in a very professional way. I did not

[20:37] wordsmith it um I literally took the information by the two groups and

[20:42] combined it and made it flow into one. So kudos to the young leaders that

[20:48] submitted that. Um moving forward, I I then sent a confirmation email to all of

[20:54] the leaders again to say here's what I received and so here's what I submitted.

[20:58] Um it is the intent moving forward that um anybody who wants to remain involved

[21:04] in this um our focus now is really on pedestrian and ebike um and ecooter

[21:13] um focus based on the project plan and the budget that were submitted and

[21:17] approved. We can't edit it at this point. So, anybody that would like to

[21:22] remain committed to this work um m may continue and join the leadership that is

[21:29] already in place. Um we have a whole plan though that has already been

[21:34] approved. So, it would be with the understanding that you would be carrying

[21:37] out the expectations of the grant. I would mention that there are two other

[21:42] opportunities that u member Sai I know was on the um January gathering um

[21:48] because I saw her name on there. Um I'm not sure if anyone else was on there,

[21:53] but I definitely saw her. They also mentioned two other opportunities that

[21:58] get um some good uh press around the project but also have opportunities for

[22:05] additional awards uh financial awards and additional opportunities for young

[22:10] people in leadership roles. One is to write and share an op ed around our

[22:16] project and the other one is to create a docathon a documentary. So, I'll be

[22:24] reaching out to the leadership again today that shares kind of the timelines

[22:29] and the information. Again, we have to apply for those opportunities. They're

[22:33] going to pick 10 groups to move forward and the young people will get

[22:37] specialized training in how to make a a documentary and they will be entered

[22:42] into a global um film making competition with other youth leadership around the

[22:48] world. And ultimately um some teams actually get the opportunity to travel

[22:55] and share their documentary. So I'll be reaching out to all the leaders. Um if

[23:00] you are not part of the group that you you didn't raise your hand prior but you

[23:04] would like to be involved, please see me at the conclusion of today's meeting and

[23:09] I will add you to the email list. those of you who are on my email list if you

[23:14] are no longer interested or able based on your schedule um to participate then

[23:20] certainly let me know that and I'll remove you but otherwise I'll continue

[23:24] working with the small group on the grant and again in closing I would just

[23:28] say kudos um to the young leaders who put together such great information took

[23:35] initiative have met with elected officials um and have a whole proposal

[23:41] um they did an outstanding job and so I'm really excited to see what they're

[23:47] able to do to increase teen safety. And I have one final opportunity that that

[23:53] is involved in this part of the project plan includes the ability to sit on a

[23:57] safety panel um at the mayor's annual um principal appreciation lunchon that is

[24:05] in February. So um I'll be reaching out about that opportunity as well. Thank

[24:10] you. >> Thank you to all the participants and

[24:15] Miss Malich for your updates. Also just wanted to add believe for agenda item 10

[24:20] if you would like to or if you were interested in joining the one of the

[24:25] youth solutions group you'd have the option to for that agenda item. And so

[24:30] moving on to agenda item eight. It is a discussion regarding the Youth

[24:34] Leadership Advisory Council's public outreach and engagement strategy,

[24:38] including coordination with city staff for appropriate communication channels.

[24:41] At our last meeting, we discussed several ideas for outreach, including

[24:45] creating Instagram, Tik Tok, and Facebook accounts to reach different age

[24:48] groups and working with council members to amplify messages. Members also

[24:52] suggested using themed content like member Cohen's bet on youth strategy to

[24:57] make posts engaging. Um and also staff guidance was that all social media

[25:02] accounts would be managed through city staff to ensure proper coordination. And

[25:05] so with that I'll open the floor for any discussion any ideas.

[25:19] For the record, I do believe that if we create an Instagram account, that would

[25:21] be very on teen target and we could get a lot of the Las Vegas Valley community

[25:27] and the city of Las Vegas interacted with us and what we're doing and what's

[25:30] going on through these public meetings so they can attend in person or they can

[25:34] voice their concerns or etc. But I do believe that having that Instagram

[25:39] account, having that but also having the Facebook account for parents would be

[25:42] incredible so they can keep up with also what we're doing and the concerns of,

[25:46] you know, the youth in the Las Vegas Valley. Thank you.

[25:49] » Thank you, Member McNel. Go ahead. >> Member Castro, I also think having a Tik

[25:54] Tok account would be very important because a lot of teens are on Instagram,

[25:57] but a lot more are on Tik Tok and with those short videos, you can get more

[26:02] information out about what is going on. So, I think a Tik Tok could be very

[26:05] important. >> Thank you. Would anyone else like to add

[26:09] a comment? Oh, go ahead. >> Through you, Madam Chair. Um to those

[26:13] two points, after the last um WAC meeting, the conversation around social

[26:20] media came up. So I have reached out to the city social media team and asked

[26:24] that they create a Tik Tok, Instagram, and X um account for city of Las Vegas

[26:32] accounts for the WAC leadership. And as soon as they get those up and running,

[26:37] then I will work with you, Madam Chair, to um if you have a small group that

[26:42] wants to kind of manage that. Um I did ask that they be um have user IDs and

[26:49] passwords that I have access to so that if as membership changes, as officers

[26:54] change, we can continue to get into the account. But I have reached out to the

[26:59] social media team to create city um verified and city approved accounts on

[27:06] all three of those social media platforms.

[27:09] » Thank you, Miss Malich. Would any other member like to add? Go ahead.

[27:13] » Um member Burton speaking. I also do believe that having like the teens

[27:17] participating within the social media accounts would be very important as well

[27:21] just so other teens within the valley can connect with us on that level and

[27:26] remember that we aren't only people of the city but we are also teens as well.

[27:31] Thank you. >> Thank you member Burton. Would anyone

[27:34] else like to add a comment? Okay. Thank you all for the discussion. Seeing that

[27:39] we have no further comments, we will conclude agenda item eight and move on

[27:44] to the next agenda item. Agenda item nine is a discussion regarding

[27:48] finalizing youth leadership advisory council public outreach events. At our

[27:52] last meeting, we talked about several potential leadership in community

[27:55] engagement opportunities, including food drives, school supply drives, tutoring,

[27:59] and other outreach activities across all wards. Some specific ideas included

[28:04] partnering with Scouting America to provide service opportunities,

[28:07] organizing a Christmas food drive, collaborating with the Clark County

[28:10] School District and local community partners to maximize impact, promoting

[28:14] road safety through teen safety day, hosting a sports equipment drive, and

[28:18] including a resource booth at events to share information with youth in the

[28:22] community. Um, today we'll focus on finalizing which events or platforms we

[28:26] want to move forward with and clarifying next steps for implementation. I'm going

[28:30] to go ahead and open the floor for members to share their thoughts,

[28:32] suggestions, or any updates uh regarding these events in our region.

[28:39] Member McN for the record. I do believe that since

[28:43] we are doing youth as solutions for the safety, I do believe teen safety day

[28:47] would be a great idea and great uh opportunity for us and our leaders on

[28:54] the youth solutions committee can speak or anyone can get involved and I that

[28:59] would be a great idea to get our name out there and show that we are very

[29:02] committed to what we do. Thank you. >> Thank you. Member Mcnelen. Would anyone

[29:08] like to advocate for any of the specific ideas we talked about last meeting?

[29:18] Member Manal is speaking. I know that there is a youth teen traffic safety

[29:25] day, but I'm pretty sure it's closer in the summer. So maybe like a group of us

[29:30] that is in the leaders of the safety would go and um like kind of like

[29:36] advocate for our group and basically like show what we're doing and maybe do

[29:42] like a demonstration or something. >> Thank you. Member Manales. Would anyone

[29:47] else like to add a comment?

[29:51] » Um just member Burton speaking. Um, just adding on to like I do like the idea of

[29:57] a food drive just because I feel like that's one of the ideas we have that

[30:00] isn't necessarily seasonal. So, not necessarily like Christmas or back to

[30:05] school or anything. I feel like a food drive could be something that we could

[30:08] implement somewhat soon rather than something seasonal. Thank you.

[30:14] » Thank you. Would anyone else like to add a comment? Go ahead, Member Cohen.

[30:18] » Member Cohen, for the record. Um, I know that we're in the middle of the school

[30:22] year, but as um, as kids, I know we value the importance of school supplies.

[30:27] As you know, it's such a big factor in our day-to-day. And I think if we also

[30:31] incorporated something like a back to school drive or raising money for school

[30:35] supplies or doing anything like that, I think that's going to be super important

[30:38] because we're directly helping people our own age and getting them on the

[30:42] right track to start their school year. And um even though that is sort of like

[30:45] a seasonal thing, more like an August um August month sort of activity, I think

[30:50] that even if we do decide to do it in August or year round, it can still make

[30:53] a pretty big impact on people in the community.

[30:57] » Thank you, member Co.

[31:01] » Sheena Judy Mitchell. For the record, I love Ethan's idea. Um I would say that

[31:06] um between um Dr. Malik and I, we will work with the council offices because

[31:10] each and every one of them typically does some type of back to school uh fair

[31:14] or school supply drive or they supply it to their school. So maybe you guys can

[31:18] join forces with your respective wards and assist them. Uh some wards even do

[31:23] uh midyear drives. So like around January different events they're handing

[31:28] out school supplies to their um the schools in their ward. So, just

[31:32] something to think about and we can actually reach out to them and let them

[31:35] know that that's something you guys mentioned and are interested in here.

[31:39] » Thank you, Miss Mitchell. >> Would anyone like to go ahead member

[31:44] Manal speaking to go off of that? You had to do a midyear

[31:49] um drive for I know like a lot of teachers now they're running out of

[31:53] supplies because it's already halfway through the year. So just doing that and

[31:57] basing it like off of the teachers more than like the students.

[32:02] » Thank you member Males. Anyone else at this time would you like to add a

[32:06] comment? Go ahead. Remember Missurvy? For the

[32:11] record, I know this was talked about earlier, but the idea of assemblies is

[32:16] huge because that reaches a lot of children and of all ages in school. So,

[32:22] I feel like we should really take that opportunity and get those assemblies

[32:27] finalized and organized. >> Thank you for your input. Would anyone

[32:32] else any other member would you like to add comment

[32:36] agenda item? Okay.

[32:40] Oh, sorry. Go ahead. >> Sheena Judy Mitchell, for the record, I

[32:44] was going to um piggyback off of member Murvy. Um, when you guys do these

[32:48] assemblies, um, a good thing to do would be to get your peers in here during your

[32:52] meetings so that you're talking and working with them, um, through the

[32:55] council meetings that you guys are hosting. So, when you're doing these

[32:59] things, giving them an option or maybe thinking of creating like a link or

[33:02] something on some of these social pages that we spoke about earlier where they

[33:06] can uh, opt into coming to the meetings like, hey, if you have any concerns,

[33:10] please show up here. So when it's public participation, you actually have your

[33:14] peers sitting here giving it to you from their own um experiences and lenses. So

[33:19] just something to think about maybe coming up with something creative to

[33:22] start getting them here. Maybe your BSUs, your um other clubs on campus and

[33:28] things like that. Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Mitchell. Would any

[33:32] other member like to add a comment at this time? Member Sai.

[33:36] » Member Sai for the record. Uh I just want to branch off of what member Minoz

[33:40] and member Servy said about you know having like education assemblies. I

[33:44] think um for our youth solutions committee we're going to be doing safety

[33:48] education assemblies uh between March and April. So I think that could be an

[33:52] idea that um we could have separate committee for and just commit to having

[33:56] that as a focus for like as a goal as a project.

[34:00] » Thank you member Sai. Anyone else?

[34:04] Okay. Well, I think that was a very productive conversation. We're going to

[34:08] go ahead and conclude a discussion of agenda item nine and move on to agenda

[34:12] item 10. Agenda item 10 is a discussion regarding identifying youth leadership

[34:18] advisory council members for the youth solutions teen safety work groups. This

[34:23] is an opportunity for members to express interest in participating in the work

[34:26] groups focused on teen driver, pedestrian, and bicycle scooter safety.

[34:30] Member leads for each group have already been assigned, but if any additional

[34:34] members would like to join or add input to these groups, now is the time to

[34:37] share. Additionally, if any of the group leads would like to briefly promote

[34:40] their groups or highlight their focus areas, this would be the perfect time to

[34:44] do so.

[34:48] Would anyone does anyone Oh, me for the record. So I am one of the

[34:53] leads for the pedestrian safety and what we do is we research how and why teens

[34:59] keep getting injured or fatalities happen due to pedestrian

[35:04] uh incidents. So we would be researching and going in depth and trying to figure

[35:08] out a problem solution and probably with member SAI we would be going like member

[35:13] Sai said we would be going into schools around March or April with a safety

[35:16] panel and telling all these teens how to stay safe. Thank you. Member Mcnalen.

[35:23] Would any or would any of the leaders from the youth teen driver safety or

[35:28] bicycle scooter safety like to advocate for the group?

[35:34] Okay. Would anyone be interested in joining any of the three groups?

[35:45] Sorry. Member S for the record. So, um, adding on to what member Mc Allen said,

[35:50] we are planning like a majority of different events. Just want to go into

[35:53] more detail about that just to see like just for members get an idea of what

[35:57] they're going to be participating and help lead. We're going to be doing um

[36:00] flyers and pamphlets and social media posts. We're going to be creating um

[36:04] public awareness campaigns at local schools to spread the word and raise

[36:07] awareness. We're going to be having safety education assemblies. That's

[36:11] definitely something we could add on to like for traffic safety and um safety

[36:15] traffic safety in general. We are going to be supporting community safety events

[36:19] and basically create awareness campaigns in the community.

[36:24] Thank you. Member Sai, um would any of the leads from the driver safety group

[36:30] like to advocate for their group? No. Okay. Would anyone at the council be

[36:36] interested in joining any of the three groups?

[36:41] Okay, seeing none, thank you to everyone who has shared. That concludes

[36:47] discussion on agenda item 10 and we'll move on to agenda item 11.

[36:53] Agenda item 11 is a discussion regarding topics for future agenda items. Comment

[36:58] at this time should be limited to proposing future agenda items only. We

[37:02] will not discuss the substance of the topics and no action will be taken

[37:05] today. Are there any items members would like to propose for consideration on a

[37:09] future agenda?

[37:13] » Member Cohen. >> Member Cohen, for the record, I think

[37:16] for the social media, I think we have a really good foundation and I think we

[37:20] all have the momentum going right now to make this something really good. I think

[37:24] what we should do is like actually put something into into writing and create

[37:28] sort of like a calendar or plan this out for the next few months at least or over

[37:32] like planned posts of what we want to do. create um like specialized um you

[37:37] know um you know any sort of posts that we want to do, any sort of videos we

[37:42] want to make, any sort of collaborations we want to have, anything that we think

[37:46] will benefit um the uh youth leadership advisory council social media presence

[37:51] and making a larger impact in the community. So, I think if we have an

[37:55] agenda item on actually finalizing, starting to put some of this into motion

[37:59] and getting um getting the ground um going on this, I think that would be

[38:03] really good. >> Thank you. Member Cohen, go ahead.

[38:07] » Member Castro speaking with the social media topic being discussed. I was

[38:12] wondering if we were are going to make a board of like who could be in charge of

[38:16] the social medias like getting all the ideas together and kind of like

[38:19] finalizing that if we're interested in having a board or just all of us doing

[38:23] it. But I think having a board might be easier.

[38:28] Thank you for your input. Would anyone else go ahead?

[38:30] » Um, member Burton speaking.

[38:36] » Member Manol speaking. Going back to the teen traffic safety day. Um, I think

[38:41] it's really important if we put it into writing or making a group. Um, it kind

[38:47] of goes along with you as solutions with the ebike and e- scooter safety. But

[38:52] basically just making a group and making a plan of what we're going to do on that

[38:56] day cuz that's our main like those are our main people that we want to get to

[39:00] is all the teams that go to it that day. So just making a group I feel like would

[39:05] be really important and useful. >> Thank you. Member Burton I believe you

[39:08] had something to add. >> Yeah, my apologies. Member Burton

[39:11] speaking. I was wondering if it would be possible to talk about or maybe um throw

[39:17] the idea out of doing a workshop for social media like posting. Um like I was

[39:24] mentioning before, I think it would be really important for the people of the

[39:27] board to be putting uh effort into making the videos

[39:32] all together so that the teens can connect with us. I was thinking about

[39:36] maybe a workshop day of all of us coming together and filming a plethora of

[39:41] videos. so that we can sporadically post them since we don't meet up that often.

[39:47] » Thank you, Member Burton. If I could just I'm sorry. Did you

[39:52] » Shaina Judy Mitchell for the record. Um we can work with our social media team

[39:56] to get that going because that's what they do. So um between Dr. Malik and I

[40:00] we can um definitely uh work through you, Madame Chair, to find out a good

[40:05] date and time and maybe it would be it would be up to you guys as a collective

[40:11] maybe for future agenda items. Um that could be a vote on a date and time.

[40:18] » Yeah, I feel like >> sorry feel like that'd be a great idea.

[40:22] Um just wanted to throw another idea out there. uh perhaps establishing meeting

[40:27] attendance rules and putting set rules into writing um of specific attendance

[40:34] for members.

[40:38] » This is Julian Blacker Bloom for the record, a deputy city attorney. There

[40:42] are some uh rules already established in the ordinance that was passed that um

[40:48] created the youth leadership advisory council. I believe the Yes. And in the

[40:55] bylaws as well, um there is an attendance requirement. It's

[41:03] » Yes, thank you. Uh so yeah, that's two unexcused absences uh would make you um

[41:09] subject to removal from the council if there are further um if there's interest

[41:15] in further um rules or specifications that could also be something that could

[41:19] go into the bylaws. Thank you. Thank you um for the clarification. What does

[41:25] anyone else have anything to add? >> Members speaking. So I think we have

[41:31] thrown a lot of good ideas out there. I think what would be good is if each

[41:34] member like of our committee could choose like to focus and accomplish like

[41:38] a goal. For example, the two main things that we kind of like are thinking about

[41:42] are social media like social media posts and awareness and then youth solutions

[41:46] and kind of like traffic safety and safety assemblies. So maybe I know we

[41:51] can't take actions at this meeting but a suggestion is that we could like each

[41:54] member could choose something that they want to focus in kind of like different

[41:57] work groups within the council. >> Thank you member S. Does any other

[42:02] member have anything to add?

[42:07] » Oh, go ahead. >> This is or member Lasser for the record.

[42:12] This isn't much of an agenda item, but I do like the idea that you mentioned

[42:16] earlier about roundroin and I think implementing that on certain or

[42:22] different agenda items next meeting would be a good idea to get input from

[42:25] everybody. >> Thank you. Um, also I just wanted to add

[42:30] for future reference that whenever someone's trying to speak just raise

[42:35] your hand a little higher because sometimes I can't see. Okay. Okay. Well,

[42:39] does anyone else have anything to add before we move on to the next agenda

[42:43] item? Go ahead,

[42:47] » member Missurvy for the record. So, I think we've had a lot of great ideas

[42:51] said, but I think we really, it's been said before, but we really need to

[42:55] emphasize taking action on all of these things because after this meeting, I

[43:00] don't really hear much about things, honestly. So, I would want to stay more

[43:04] in the loop and focus on actually taking action on the items we discuss and like

[43:10] that one group did the ebike safety group. They worked on it. They got the

[43:16] grant which is amazing and I think we can do more things like that if we all

[43:20] work on it. >> Absolutely. Thank you for your input.

[43:23] Does anyone else at this time have something to add?

[43:27] Okay. Thank you all for your participation.

[43:31] Staff will note the proposed agenda items. That concludes agenda item 11.

[43:37] We're going to move on to agenda item 12, citizens participation. Public

[43:41] comment during this portion is limited to matters within the jurisdiction of

[43:44] the advisory council. No action may be taken on items that are not on the

[43:48] agenda. If you wish to be heard, please come forward and state your name for the

[43:51] record. Is there anyone who would like to provide public comment at this time?

[43:57] Okay. Seeing none, we will close citizens participation and move on to

[44:00] the next agenda item. Okay. Well, thank you all for your

[44:05] participation and thoughtful contributions today. Um, seeing no

[44:09] further business before the council, we will officially adjourn this meeting.

[44:12] The time is 4:13.
