» Item five is an obeyance item, a report by Dr. Luan D. Holmes, city clerk,
regarding an overview of Robert's rule of order. Dr. Holmes, you may proceed.
Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Lannne Holmes. I'm the city clerk for
the city of Las Vegas and we're going to talk a little bit about although you're
all doing magnificently a little bit about how to conduct a public meeting.
So this is really about um running efficient and fair meetings and we run
that in accordance to the parliamentary procedures. Now is that the Robert's
rules of order? I think that's what the agenda says. It's more of a modified
version of the Robert's rules of order. Um I will tell you the one thing that we
don't do is we don't take seconds for our small board. So you can just take a
single vote and um make your motion after that. Um but there's benefits to
having parliamentary procedures. Some of the benefits is transparency and
courtesy for all. Right? We're all going to take turns. We're all going to be
civil. It maintains an order and make sure that you um follow your agenda,
which you guys are doing well at. Um it gives consideration for one item at a
time. Um and all sides get to be heard. Uh you have the ability for each member
to provide input. Um and of course it's the majority rules. Um but it also gives
protections for rights of all the members including the minority.
So let's talk about some basic principles.
As you know because I heard you guys talking about it. Your quorum you have
to have a quorum before you have a meeting.
Do you have you have to have a quorum before you have a meeting and your
quorum is 11. The best way to figure this out is you take half the numbers of
on your body and you add one. So in this case that's 11.
Um all your voting members have equal rights and privileges and obligations to
your meetings and no person should speak until recognized by the chair which so
far I've seen you do pretty well. um personal remarks or side discussions
during um the agenda. We we prefer you not to do that. And you have to keep in
mind at all times you are creating a permanent record. So not only what you
say in your microphones, but your actions will be forever memorialized in
an audio and a video recording of these meetings. Um we ask that you only do one
question at a time. Um and only one person at a time should have the floor.
So just to clarify roles um the chair is the person that runs the meeting. So
chair Wyn is the one that really controls um the speed at which the
meeting runs and who speaks. Um she introduces the business in order per the
agenda and then she's the one that actually recognizes the speakers. Um by
following these procedures it really keeps us focused on the agenda items.
Um, and it really uh makes sure that we're not having any sideboard
conversations or we're um talking really off the agenda. She'll also put motions
to a vote and you guys have already demonstrated that this morning. She'll
call for um all those in favor and as you you vote you'll say I. She'll ask
all those opposed with a nay and then she will read off the results of the
vote and I believe you all have displays up there. You can see how you vote as
well. So, just to clarify the additional roles, all the rest of you are members
or participants. And so, before you speak, you have to be recognized by the
chair before speaking. Um, then be sure that you turn your mics on and off. Um,
and you need to state your name clearly for the record, which so far you guys
are doing wonderfully. I saw that you all did that. Um, all your comments
should be addressed to the chair. So what I mean by that is sometimes you may
have one of your uh fellow members will make a comment and you'll just be
itching to respond to that person. That's one of the things that we don't
want to do. We want you to when you rec respond you need to respond through the
chair or to the chair. So you can start that off with madame chair or madame
when and you would make your comments. Um again no sidebars no comments. Um, if
you are talking amongst the two of you, I will tell you that these microphones
are really sensitive and it may pick you up. And again, we can't modify that
audio recording. So, it's forever in history um what's being said, but we
also want to make sure that you do use your mics um as you should
appropriately. Now, there's general rules of debate for small boards. um all
items um that are relevant to the agenda are posed for questions or discussions.
No member should speak more than twice to each item. Now, let me explain that.
Um this really helps with the flow of the agenda. I know a lot of times um the
chair will read off an item, one person will speak, and then somebody wants to
debate them. What you don't want to do is necessarily debate back and forth.
you really want to kind of um make your uh comments kind of concise and in one
comment, but if you do need to rebuttal or or speak again, you really need to in
fairness make sure that everybody else has already had their first turn at
speaking. Um it just kind of prevents somebody from being like a microphone
hog and just speaking constantly. Um that's one things that uh sometimes
you'll find if the chair isn't controlling the meeting that might
happen. Um and debates of course um when you debate an issue it's not personal.
So it's not really about the person or um their personality conflict if you
have one. It's really about what's been said. That's what you want to discuss
and debate. And I'm going to remind you remember you're creating a permanent
record. So it's really important that what you say gets picked up by these
microphones clearly. Um, and what you don't says a lot. Um, I
don't think you guys will really be taking obeyances in most of your votes,
but sometimes people obey on an item they don't feel like they want to vote.
If you don't speak up and take a vote, it still counts, right? Um, by not
saying something, it's almost as important as if you do say something.
So, do remember that this is a permanent record and it can't be modified. And
that is it. So far, I think you guys are doing wonderfully. You seem to have it
all down. Do you have any questions for me?
No. All right. Thank you and enjoy your meeting.
Thank you for the presentation, Dr. Holmes. Uh we'll we're going to be
moving on to agenda item six. Agenda item six is a discussion regarding
establishing participation expectations and a meeting engagement structure.
Before we open this for discussion, I just want to emphasize the importance of
participation in meetings like this. as as members of the Youth Leadership
Advisory Council, we're here to represent youth voices, and that only
works if we're actively engaging, speaking up, and sharing our um
perspectives. Every single one of you bring um a
different experience. And those contributions are what make our work
meaningful. And so with that, I'll open the floor for discussion on how we can
promote more effective membership, member involvement during our meetings.
Would anyone like to suggest an idea?
Okay. Well, I'll just go ahead and throw um throw an idea out. Um so, I was
thinking we could use a simple round robin for bigger discussion items. And
so, after a after the topic is introduced, we'd go around and give
everyone about a minute to share a thought, um ask a question or even just
agree or pass. And that way I feel like it'd be easier for everyone to
participate without feeling pressured to jump in or talk over each other. Does
anyone have any um comments?
» Um member Burton speaking. I agree. I think um even having like maybe like a
minimum of one speaking turn per meeting would definitely benefit us all so that
we're all engaging correctly.
» Thank you. Does anyone else have a comment to add? Any suggestions even?
No. Okay. Thank you all. Thank you for the input.
Uh I think seeing that we have no further comments, we're going to
conclude discussion on this item and move on to the next agenda item.
Agenda item seven is a report by youth as solutions participants regarding
current work group activities, priority focus areas and youthled
recommendations. We'll hear from each work group starting with youth and teen
driver safety followed by youth and teen pedestrian safety and finishing with
youth and teen bicycle and scooter safety. So at this time I'm going to
have member Cohen and member Burton present their what they've um
accomplished.
Member Cohen, for the record, I believe um uh Dr. Malich has a little bit more
information about this uh in terms of the actual um structure of the youth
solutions program moving forward. Um if Dr. Malich, you want to say a few things
if that's possible. Well, I know you have the complete information about what
all of the subcommittees are doing as a whole and I know you're you have all the
information about that. So, if you want to share more in depth because I know
you have um you have all the relevant um information regarding that.
» Thank you. Um Madame Chair, um it Dr. Tammy Malich, youth development and
social initiatives director. For the record, um I would request that we go
ahead and do the other workg groupoups and get their updates first because we
have some updates for sure and then I will share the other opportunities at
the conclusion if that's at the pleasure of the chair.
» Sure. So we just want to move on to the next group other two groups. Got it.
Okay. Thank you. So we're going to hear from youth and teen pedestrian safety
group member Mcnalen. You have the floor.
» Thank you madam chair member car member Mcnalen for the record. So, as the youth
pedestrian uh safety committee leader, uh I've conducted several article
several days of research and read several articles, watched several videos
and established that phones and distractions are the main cause of
fatalities and in injuries and incidents. Uh through this research, I
filled out the budget plan that was due in December.
uh my team was ill informed and that is um my that is at my fault but I did
submit the form into Google Classroom. Uh I don't know if that was fully
counted or not and I have not had access to a computer unfortunately to figure
out if I could solve that problem. I don't know if our
budget plan was accounted for. I did work on that individually. Uh, and
I believe I put my hard work and effort into it with all of the research I
conducted and I do believe that this is a very important issue and we as a team
need to be able to solve it. Thank you.
Sorry. And member McN, thank you for your dedication to this group. Are there
any additional participants from this group who would like to add to the
report? Okay. Now I'll move on to the youth and
teen bicycle and scooter safety group. Member Males and member Sai, you have
the floor. >> Member Sai for the record. So uh member
Minz and I led the ebike and thank you sorry and e scooter committee and we
basically did research on the issue to better understand it and we made a bunch
of different changes. First, we made um we set up a meeting with Commissioner
Justin Jones from Clark County and he led ebike safety ordinances in that
area. So, we talked to him and discussed with members of our team to kind of get
a better idea on the issue. And we came out we came up with several activities
on and solutions that we can implement including safety education assemblies at
local schools to increase public awareness. and we're going to be
creating flyers, posters, pamphlets, and social media posts about the issue. And
thank you to Dr. Malik for your your help. And with your help, we received a
$1,000 grant for the project. So, that's a big accomplishment. And I hope a lot
of you can join us. Thank you so much. Congratulations on your accomplishment.
Are there any other participants from this group would like to add to that
report? Thank you all to all the participants
for your updates. I believe Miss Malich had something to add.
» Thank you um again ch Madam Chair uh Dr. Tammy Malich again for the record um to
the points that have already been made. Um couple of things that I would point
out. Um the grant is very specific and has very specific deadlines and
requirements. And so um those requirements and
deadlines have to be met or we lose funding or we lose the ability to
continue to participate. And so I've been directly communicating with the
leads of each of the three workg groups and um have not necessarily always
gotten great responses in some cases or any responses. Um the re the request or
requirement was that each of the work groups send me their project plan and
budget and I gave them all of the um information and questions outside of the
document with the um description that I would then compile it because it's one
grant. It's not three separate grants. Um and so um member um Sai and um and
member who is your co-chair Sai member Sai
» member Mina >> yes um thank you and um member Bullwear
both provided me with a project plan and a budget. Member Mcinelen did respond.
um she entered her information directly into Google Classroom, but nobody from
Youth Solutions um has confirmed that they have it and
it's a really tricky um system. I have entered things in there myself and they
don't have them. So um I don't doubt that that happened because that's a
pretty common problem with Google Classroom or a common problem I'm
experiencing as well with Google Classroom. I did submit though the
combined project plan and budget from the two workg groups and that as member
Sai mentioned we did get a confirmation email from youth solutions um and I
really want to commend um the teams that did work on it because not only did we
receive the confirmation that we got the grant, we had no edits and every other
group that submitted this grant had edits and revisions required which are
due by January 23rd. We were the only project that did not require any edits
or revisions and the feedback we got was that it was very well written, very um
explanatory and put together um in a very professional way. I did not
wordsmith it um I literally took the information by the two groups and
combined it and made it flow into one. So kudos to the young leaders that
submitted that. Um moving forward, I I then sent a confirmation email to all of
the leaders again to say here's what I received and so here's what I submitted.
Um it is the intent moving forward that um anybody who wants to remain involved
in this um our focus now is really on pedestrian and ebike um and ecooter
um focus based on the project plan and the budget that were submitted and
approved. We can't edit it at this point. So, anybody that would like to
remain committed to this work um m may continue and join the leadership that is
already in place. Um we have a whole plan though that has already been
approved. So, it would be with the understanding that you would be carrying
out the expectations of the grant. I would mention that there are two other
opportunities that u member Sai I know was on the um January gathering um
because I saw her name on there. Um I'm not sure if anyone else was on there,
but I definitely saw her. They also mentioned two other opportunities that
get um some good uh press around the project but also have opportunities for
additional awards uh financial awards and additional opportunities for young
people in leadership roles. One is to write and share an op ed around our
project and the other one is to create a docathon a documentary. So, I'll be
reaching out to the leadership again today that shares kind of the timelines
and the information. Again, we have to apply for those opportunities. They're
going to pick 10 groups to move forward and the young people will get
specialized training in how to make a a documentary and they will be entered
into a global um film making competition with other youth leadership around the
world. And ultimately um some teams actually get the opportunity to travel
and share their documentary. So I'll be reaching out to all the leaders. Um if
you are not part of the group that you you didn't raise your hand prior but you
would like to be involved, please see me at the conclusion of today's meeting and
I will add you to the email list. those of you who are on my email list if you
are no longer interested or able based on your schedule um to participate then
certainly let me know that and I'll remove you but otherwise I'll continue
working with the small group on the grant and again in closing I would just
say kudos um to the young leaders who put together such great information took
initiative have met with elected officials um and have a whole proposal
um they did an outstanding job and so I'm really excited to see what they're
able to do to increase teen safety. And I have one final opportunity that that
is involved in this part of the project plan includes the ability to sit on a
safety panel um at the mayor's annual um principal appreciation lunchon that is
in February. So um I'll be reaching out about that opportunity as well. Thank
you. >> Thank you to all the participants and
Miss Malich for your updates. Also just wanted to add believe for agenda item 10
if you would like to or if you were interested in joining the one of the
youth solutions group you'd have the option to for that agenda item. And so
moving on to agenda item eight. It is a discussion regarding the Youth
Leadership Advisory Council's public outreach and engagement strategy,
including coordination with city staff for appropriate communication channels.
At our last meeting, we discussed several ideas for outreach, including
creating Instagram, Tik Tok, and Facebook accounts to reach different age
groups and working with council members to amplify messages. Members also
suggested using themed content like member Cohen's bet on youth strategy to
make posts engaging. Um and also staff guidance was that all social media
accounts would be managed through city staff to ensure proper coordination. And
so with that I'll open the floor for any discussion any ideas.
For the record, I do believe that if we create an Instagram account, that would
be very on teen target and we could get a lot of the Las Vegas Valley community
and the city of Las Vegas interacted with us and what we're doing and what's
going on through these public meetings so they can attend in person or they can
voice their concerns or etc. But I do believe that having that Instagram
account, having that but also having the Facebook account for parents would be
incredible so they can keep up with also what we're doing and the concerns of,
you know, the youth in the Las Vegas Valley. Thank you.
» Thank you, Member McNel. Go ahead. >> Member Castro, I also think having a Tik
Tok account would be very important because a lot of teens are on Instagram,
but a lot more are on Tik Tok and with those short videos, you can get more
information out about what is going on. So, I think a Tik Tok could be very
important. >> Thank you. Would anyone else like to add
a comment? Oh, go ahead. >> Through you, Madam Chair. Um to those
two points, after the last um WAC meeting, the conversation around social
media came up. So I have reached out to the city social media team and asked
that they create a Tik Tok, Instagram, and X um account for city of Las Vegas
accounts for the WAC leadership. And as soon as they get those up and running,
then I will work with you, Madam Chair, to um if you have a small group that
wants to kind of manage that. Um I did ask that they be um have user IDs and
passwords that I have access to so that if as membership changes, as officers
change, we can continue to get into the account. But I have reached out to the
social media team to create city um verified and city approved accounts on
all three of those social media platforms.
» Thank you, Miss Malich. Would any other member like to add? Go ahead.
» Um member Burton speaking. I also do believe that having like the teens
participating within the social media accounts would be very important as well
just so other teens within the valley can connect with us on that level and
remember that we aren't only people of the city but we are also teens as well.
Thank you. >> Thank you member Burton. Would anyone
else like to add a comment? Okay. Thank you all for the discussion. Seeing that
we have no further comments, we will conclude agenda item eight and move on
to the next agenda item. Agenda item nine is a discussion regarding
finalizing youth leadership advisory council public outreach events. At our
last meeting, we talked about several potential leadership in community
engagement opportunities, including food drives, school supply drives, tutoring,
and other outreach activities across all wards. Some specific ideas included
partnering with Scouting America to provide service opportunities,
organizing a Christmas food drive, collaborating with the Clark County
School District and local community partners to maximize impact, promoting
road safety through teen safety day, hosting a sports equipment drive, and
including a resource booth at events to share information with youth in the
community. Um, today we'll focus on finalizing which events or platforms we
want to move forward with and clarifying next steps for implementation. I'm going
to go ahead and open the floor for members to share their thoughts,
suggestions, or any updates uh regarding these events in our region.
Member McN for the record. I do believe that since
we are doing youth as solutions for the safety, I do believe teen safety day
would be a great idea and great uh opportunity for us and our leaders on
the youth solutions committee can speak or anyone can get involved and I that
would be a great idea to get our name out there and show that we are very
committed to what we do. Thank you. >> Thank you. Member Mcnelen. Would anyone
like to advocate for any of the specific ideas we talked about last meeting?
Member Manal is speaking. I know that there is a youth teen traffic safety
day, but I'm pretty sure it's closer in the summer. So maybe like a group of us
that is in the leaders of the safety would go and um like kind of like
advocate for our group and basically like show what we're doing and maybe do
like a demonstration or something. >> Thank you. Member Manales. Would anyone
else like to add a comment?
» Um just member Burton speaking. Um, just adding on to like I do like the idea of
a food drive just because I feel like that's one of the ideas we have that
isn't necessarily seasonal. So, not necessarily like Christmas or back to
school or anything. I feel like a food drive could be something that we could
implement somewhat soon rather than something seasonal. Thank you.
» Thank you. Would anyone else like to add a comment? Go ahead, Member Cohen.
» Member Cohen, for the record. Um, I know that we're in the middle of the school
year, but as um, as kids, I know we value the importance of school supplies.
As you know, it's such a big factor in our day-to-day. And I think if we also
incorporated something like a back to school drive or raising money for school
supplies or doing anything like that, I think that's going to be super important
because we're directly helping people our own age and getting them on the
right track to start their school year. And um even though that is sort of like
a seasonal thing, more like an August um August month sort of activity, I think
that even if we do decide to do it in August or year round, it can still make
a pretty big impact on people in the community.
» Thank you, member Co.
» Sheena Judy Mitchell. For the record, I love Ethan's idea. Um I would say that
um between um Dr. Malik and I, we will work with the council offices because
each and every one of them typically does some type of back to school uh fair
or school supply drive or they supply it to their school. So maybe you guys can
join forces with your respective wards and assist them. Uh some wards even do
uh midyear drives. So like around January different events they're handing
out school supplies to their um the schools in their ward. So, just
something to think about and we can actually reach out to them and let them
know that that's something you guys mentioned and are interested in here.
» Thank you, Miss Mitchell. >> Would anyone like to go ahead member
Manal speaking to go off of that? You had to do a midyear
um drive for I know like a lot of teachers now they're running out of
supplies because it's already halfway through the year. So just doing that and
basing it like off of the teachers more than like the students.
» Thank you member Males. Anyone else at this time would you like to add a
comment? Go ahead. Remember Missurvy? For the
record, I know this was talked about earlier, but the idea of assemblies is
huge because that reaches a lot of children and of all ages in school. So,
I feel like we should really take that opportunity and get those assemblies
finalized and organized. >> Thank you for your input. Would anyone
else any other member would you like to add comment
agenda item? Okay.
Oh, sorry. Go ahead. >> Sheena Judy Mitchell, for the record, I
was going to um piggyback off of member Murvy. Um, when you guys do these
assemblies, um, a good thing to do would be to get your peers in here during your
meetings so that you're talking and working with them, um, through the
council meetings that you guys are hosting. So, when you're doing these
things, giving them an option or maybe thinking of creating like a link or
something on some of these social pages that we spoke about earlier where they
can uh, opt into coming to the meetings like, hey, if you have any concerns,
please show up here. So when it's public participation, you actually have your
peers sitting here giving it to you from their own um experiences and lenses. So
just something to think about maybe coming up with something creative to
start getting them here. Maybe your BSUs, your um other clubs on campus and
things like that. Thank you. >> Thank you, Miss Mitchell. Would any
other member like to add a comment at this time? Member Sai.
» Member Sai for the record. Uh I just want to branch off of what member Minoz
and member Servy said about you know having like education assemblies. I
think um for our youth solutions committee we're going to be doing safety
education assemblies uh between March and April. So I think that could be an
idea that um we could have separate committee for and just commit to having
that as a focus for like as a goal as a project.
» Thank you member Sai. Anyone else?
Okay. Well, I think that was a very productive conversation. We're going to
go ahead and conclude a discussion of agenda item nine and move on to agenda
item 10. Agenda item 10 is a discussion regarding identifying youth leadership
advisory council members for the youth solutions teen safety work groups. This
is an opportunity for members to express interest in participating in the work
groups focused on teen driver, pedestrian, and bicycle scooter safety.
Member leads for each group have already been assigned, but if any additional
members would like to join or add input to these groups, now is the time to
share. Additionally, if any of the group leads would like to briefly promote
their groups or highlight their focus areas, this would be the perfect time to
do so.
Would anyone does anyone Oh, me for the record. So I am one of the
leads for the pedestrian safety and what we do is we research how and why teens
keep getting injured or fatalities happen due to pedestrian
uh incidents. So we would be researching and going in depth and trying to figure
out a problem solution and probably with member SAI we would be going like member
Sai said we would be going into schools around March or April with a safety
panel and telling all these teens how to stay safe. Thank you. Member Mcnalen.
Would any or would any of the leaders from the youth teen driver safety or
bicycle scooter safety like to advocate for the group?
Okay. Would anyone be interested in joining any of the three groups?
Sorry. Member S for the record. So, um, adding on to what member Mc Allen said,
we are planning like a majority of different events. Just want to go into
more detail about that just to see like just for members get an idea of what
they're going to be participating and help lead. We're going to be doing um
flyers and pamphlets and social media posts. We're going to be creating um
public awareness campaigns at local schools to spread the word and raise
awareness. We're going to be having safety education assemblies. That's
definitely something we could add on to like for traffic safety and um safety
traffic safety in general. We are going to be supporting community safety events
and basically create awareness campaigns in the community.
Thank you. Member Sai, um would any of the leads from the driver safety group
like to advocate for their group? No. Okay. Would anyone at the council be
interested in joining any of the three groups?
Okay, seeing none, thank you to everyone who has shared. That concludes
discussion on agenda item 10 and we'll move on to agenda item 11.
Agenda item 11 is a discussion regarding topics for future agenda items. Comment
at this time should be limited to proposing future agenda items only. We
will not discuss the substance of the topics and no action will be taken
today. Are there any items members would like to propose for consideration on a
future agenda?
» Member Cohen. >> Member Cohen, for the record, I think
for the social media, I think we have a really good foundation and I think we
all have the momentum going right now to make this something really good. I think
what we should do is like actually put something into into writing and create
sort of like a calendar or plan this out for the next few months at least or over
like planned posts of what we want to do. create um like specialized um you
know um you know any sort of posts that we want to do, any sort of videos we
want to make, any sort of collaborations we want to have, anything that we think
will benefit um the uh youth leadership advisory council social media presence
and making a larger impact in the community. So, I think if we have an
agenda item on actually finalizing, starting to put some of this into motion
and getting um getting the ground um going on this, I think that would be
really good. >> Thank you. Member Cohen, go ahead.
» Member Castro speaking with the social media topic being discussed. I was
wondering if we were are going to make a board of like who could be in charge of
the social medias like getting all the ideas together and kind of like
finalizing that if we're interested in having a board or just all of us doing
it. But I think having a board might be easier.
Thank you for your input. Would anyone else go ahead?
» Um, member Burton speaking.
» Member Manol speaking. Going back to the teen traffic safety day. Um, I think
it's really important if we put it into writing or making a group. Um, it kind
of goes along with you as solutions with the ebike and e- scooter safety. But
basically just making a group and making a plan of what we're going to do on that
day cuz that's our main like those are our main people that we want to get to
is all the teams that go to it that day. So just making a group I feel like would
be really important and useful. >> Thank you. Member Burton I believe you
had something to add. >> Yeah, my apologies. Member Burton
speaking. I was wondering if it would be possible to talk about or maybe um throw
the idea out of doing a workshop for social media like posting. Um like I was
mentioning before, I think it would be really important for the people of the
board to be putting uh effort into making the videos
all together so that the teens can connect with us. I was thinking about
maybe a workshop day of all of us coming together and filming a plethora of
videos. so that we can sporadically post them since we don't meet up that often.
» Thank you, Member Burton. If I could just I'm sorry. Did you
» Shaina Judy Mitchell for the record. Um we can work with our social media team
to get that going because that's what they do. So um between Dr. Malik and I
we can um definitely uh work through you, Madame Chair, to find out a good
date and time and maybe it would be it would be up to you guys as a collective
maybe for future agenda items. Um that could be a vote on a date and time.
» Yeah, I feel like >> sorry feel like that'd be a great idea.
Um just wanted to throw another idea out there. uh perhaps establishing meeting
attendance rules and putting set rules into writing um of specific attendance
for members.
» This is Julian Blacker Bloom for the record, a deputy city attorney. There
are some uh rules already established in the ordinance that was passed that um
created the youth leadership advisory council. I believe the Yes. And in the
bylaws as well, um there is an attendance requirement. It's
» Yes, thank you. Uh so yeah, that's two unexcused absences uh would make you um
subject to removal from the council if there are further um if there's interest
in further um rules or specifications that could also be something that could
go into the bylaws. Thank you. Thank you um for the clarification. What does
anyone else have anything to add? >> Members speaking. So I think we have
thrown a lot of good ideas out there. I think what would be good is if each
member like of our committee could choose like to focus and accomplish like
a goal. For example, the two main things that we kind of like are thinking about
are social media like social media posts and awareness and then youth solutions
and kind of like traffic safety and safety assemblies. So maybe I know we
can't take actions at this meeting but a suggestion is that we could like each
member could choose something that they want to focus in kind of like different
work groups within the council. >> Thank you member S. Does any other
member have anything to add?
» Oh, go ahead. >> This is or member Lasser for the record.
This isn't much of an agenda item, but I do like the idea that you mentioned
earlier about roundroin and I think implementing that on certain or
different agenda items next meeting would be a good idea to get input from
everybody. >> Thank you. Um, also I just wanted to add
for future reference that whenever someone's trying to speak just raise
your hand a little higher because sometimes I can't see. Okay. Okay. Well,
does anyone else have anything to add before we move on to the next agenda
item? Go ahead,
» member Missurvy for the record. So, I think we've had a lot of great ideas
said, but I think we really, it's been said before, but we really need to
emphasize taking action on all of these things because after this meeting, I
don't really hear much about things, honestly. So, I would want to stay more
in the loop and focus on actually taking action on the items we discuss and like
that one group did the ebike safety group. They worked on it. They got the
grant which is amazing and I think we can do more things like that if we all
work on it. >> Absolutely. Thank you for your input.
Does anyone else at this time have something to add?
Okay. Thank you all for your participation.
Staff will note the proposed agenda items. That concludes agenda item 11.
