[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.
