[4:29] And I know you guys are going to be overwhelmed with lots of work.
[4:32] And you're going to be on your computers on your phone or anything else.
[4:36] We want you to take a break.
[4:38] And once you get outside and get moving.
[4:41] Get out there.
[4:42] You'll be talking about later on in the agenda.
[4:45] So I won't talk about your recommendation activities that will be offered.
[4:49] and the options that are available to you if you can hook on to some activity, some outside activity, some location, great.
[4:59] That will help you with your school work.

[5:05] We love to see you guys out there.
[5:07] We love to see you guys out on your bikes.
[5:10] Please be aware of what is going on.
[5:13] Safety is a big issue here.

[5:49] This November, there will be some elections, and there's important elections that are important now into your parents of the community, but to you too, we have people running for office, for a city council, and for the Gilroy Unified School District.
[6:06] It would be nice if you can get, you can spread the word amongst your friends or even
[6:12] something that you got your commission I want to do, is getting information out there
[6:16] about these candidates, because these candidates, the most important thing to most of these
[6:22] people, especially to go around and fight school, is you young people, so you're young students,
[6:27] but especially the state council wants to make sure that you guys are doing things that
[6:33] that are safe and healthy for you.
[6:37] So, if there's any way that you guys can get the information
[6:41] about the candidates, you could have means for yourself,
[6:45] but especially, even if you're not voting,
[6:47] especially pass it on to those people
[6:50] that you know are voting your parents.
[6:51] If you get a chance to talk to your parents
[6:53] about the upcoming elections about the candidates
[6:57] for a jewelry advice school trip
[6:58] and for the city council, please do that.
[7:01] Please get the information.
[7:02] Information is available.
[7:03] Oh, that's it.
[7:05] Okay, thank you.
[7:06] Okay.

[9:55] I am so glad you're from New York and I've been here a few weeks with the City of Brand new
[10:03] to City. Coming back, I should say, I used to work here and outside of here or outside of work.
[10:08] Mike, on my desk, Peter, you do.
[10:13] All right, the next thing we will be doing is orientation.
[10:18] Okay.
[10:19] All right.
[10:20] For those of you who's back or to the wall,
[10:23] please turn around.
[10:23] We are going to go through orientation.
[10:28] What it is to be a youth commissioner.
[10:38] Hey, welcome.
[10:40] Ready to recognize some of these faces.
[10:41] So we've got some returning commissioners.
[10:43] we also have some outgoing commissioners. There are 11 of you and you all bring something special
[10:52] to the commission, your past experiences, your passions, your interests and together refuse it
[10:58] and we create events, we create policies and also experiences. So hopefully it's an invaluable time.
[11:09] I'm hoping that you're not here just because of what's going on in resume,
[11:12] but that you actually want to have a positive impact on the community and
[11:17] this is a great way. So welcome and congratulations.
[11:23] Okay, so this is what we're
[11:25] going to talk about today. We're going to talk about what is the Youth Commission.
[11:30] What is the Brown Act? Meetings, what you need to know,
[11:34] So, absences, communication by loss, work plan.
[11:42] But, before we dive into that, we are going to play a quick game.
[11:47] All right, can you take another piece and pass it around?
[11:50] You're going to stand up, you're going to burn out of your head
[11:53] and you're going to start talking to each other and find out
[11:57] who has been to Canada before and whose favorite color is green.
[12:03] and who goes to read books and you cannot have more than the same person sign it three times.
[12:13] So you need to, you need to mingle, you need to stand up and start talking to one another.
[12:21] And it's called blackout for a reason. You need to fill up all of your squares and you can start.
[13:00] That's what we've got.
[13:02] I didn't get this guy.
[13:03] I didn't get this guy.
[13:03] That's really like a few people.
[13:04] A few people.
[13:05] Really?
[13:06] Yeah.
[13:06] I was just saying that came up.
[26:06] All right. Well, hopefully you've learned something about each other. All right. So let's return back to the screen behind you folks. Okay. So what is the joy you've commissioned? Okay. So, now today, if we were going to talk about that, we're going to talk about that.
[26:26] Are we full? Is everyone here?
[26:28] Yeah.
[26:29] Okay, so there's actually 12 of you today.
[26:32] Normally, there would just be 11 of you.
[26:34] But as I mentioned earlier, Commissioner Ortega is still with us.
[26:40] He hasn't gone on to college yet.
[26:43] He is a carryover from two years ago when his term,
[26:47] or when he was appointed, which was in October.
[26:49] So his term ends actually next month.
[26:52] So he is with us today.
[26:53] but normally there would just be 11 of us.
[26:57] So, in order to be a commissioner,
[26:58] you need to live within the Guilherganified School District
[27:01] Boundaries and be between the ages of 13 and 19,
[27:05] which all of you.
[27:08] So, the commission is an advisory group to the City Council.
[27:12] So, all of you were appointed to,
[27:15] appointed by the Council to serve on the commission.
[27:18] And your role is to advise the commission on what?
[27:22] You
[27:25] have problems and you have issues?
[27:28] Yeah, you have issues, you have concerns, problems.
[27:33] Anything that affects people who are your age or younger.
[27:38] So, you are the representative.
[27:40] So, if people at school have an issue, it's not a school issue, it's more of a community issue.
[27:45] This would be the venue to share those thoughts, those concerns, those issues.
[27:53] So you are representing the youth and the teens of Gilwool.
[27:57] We're not just representing your friends.
[27:58] You are not just representing the people at your school.
[28:01] You represent everyone who lives here, who is 19 or younger.
[28:09] And it is a great privilege to be on the Youth Commission.
[28:12] And we'll talk about that in a moment.
[28:16] What else?
[28:16] And city staff.
[28:17] Okay, so you are looking at the trio here.
[28:22] So Michael, Stefan or myself, you can all support you.
[28:27] We are here to answer your questions. You may have questions that may not necessarily do with the Youth Commission, but maybe have something to do with what's going on in a city.
[28:37] And so we'll do our best to either answer your question or point you in the direction where it can be answered.
[28:42] And if you have issues like with your email, or you can't make a meeting, or something like that, then either myself forced to phone real sisters.
[28:52] So we are here for whatever questions you may have.
[28:59] Okay, so as you know, the meetings are held typically because today is not the second Monday of the month, but they are typically held on the second Monday at each month at six o'clock here at the senior center during this year.
[29:11] We do not meet in June or July.
[29:15] The reason we did not meet on a second Monday in August is because school wasn't in session
[29:21] yet.
[29:21] It's possible that some of you were still on summer break, non vacation, and wouldn't
[29:26] have been able to make a meeting.
[29:28] So we always have the August meeting at the end of the month after school has already been
[29:33] underway, so we can ensure that we get a full house here.
[29:48] And so some of the other things that you need to know.
[29:51] So develop a work plan, and that's something
[29:54] that actually this commission did last year,
[29:57] and will continue to execute it this year.
[29:59] But.
[30:00] What is a work plan? Former commissioners? What's the most plan?
[30:07] It's kind of like a plan for the tasks we can't plan on competing for the rest of the year like big events. Yes, and what are some of those? Opportunity, barrier, intergenerational, dance, and practice, Louisiana. Okay, great, great. Anything else?
[30:26] And then also the commission. Oh,
[30:32] Okay, so the Youth Commission has a work plan.
[30:35] They also are going to make a presentation
[30:38] to the City Council.
[30:39] This is done at the end of the school year
[30:42] after hopefully you've accomplished
[30:44] and everything that you've set out to do.
[30:47] You're going to watch at the end of this orientation
[30:50] last year's presentation,
[30:52] just to get a really good idea of what to expect,
[30:56] what to anticipate this year.
[30:58] I would argue that last year's commission
[31:01] set the ball really high, and so I definitely have a lot to reach for, but I'm very optimistic
[31:08] that the guys are able to pull it off.
[31:12] These commission does have its own web page, it's pretty generic in terms of just the
[31:16] information it has, it has about what is the new commission, when it meets access to the
[31:22] agenda in the minutes, as well as information about the commissioners themselves, it just
[31:27] talks about when you are pointing in your name.
[31:29] So you can look that up, the Brown Act, what is the Brown Act and why is it called the
[31:38] Brown Act?
[31:39] Is anyone not?
[31:40] Or number?
[31:43] It's basically, well, as the name implies, it's an act by the guy named something Brown
[31:50] and he basically formed a lot of laws with commissions about how the meetings have to
[31:58] stay open and the meeting minutes have to be posted in advance and we can't talk
[32:02] about anything during the meeting that isn't on the minutes and just a lot of
[32:05] general guidelines to make sure that we aren't like amusing our power at all.
[32:11] Yeah I mean that's that's pretty much it so
[32:16] there he is. Mr. Ralph and Ralph, there he is. He was a former lawmaker in Sacramento during the 1940s.
[32:25] But when he was from Modesto and the Brown Act is obviously named after him, he got, so prior
[32:35] to the Brown Act, you could, if you were a school board member, if you were on the city council,
[32:43] if you worked in Sacramento, anywhere in California, you could have a medium and not let the public know
[32:48] about what's on the agenda, when it's happening, where it's happening. And that's what was going off
[32:54] is that there were all these meetings happening and the public was unaware of what they were discussing
[33:00] and it got to the point where there was obviously a lot of corruption. There was no transparency
[33:06] and there was an interest in trying to prevent that from happening and basically the Brown Act
[33:15] has been able to shed light on any public meetings. So we're going to talk a little bit about that.
[33:25] So he helped establish a state law that's, of course, maybe after him, that guarantees
[33:29] the public's right to attend and participate in meetings of local legislative bodies.
[33:34] We had someone in here from the public who knew that there was a meeting tonight that it
[33:40] started at 6 o'clock, that it was going to be at the senior center, and he had an opportunity
[33:46] to speak regardless of whether it was on the agenda or not on the agenda.
[33:52] That is an example of how the brand-on works.
[33:56] So members of the public know that if they want to talk about a specific issue, they
[34:01] can't at the meeting because they're going to be given an advance notice about when
[34:05] the meeting begins, where it's going to be held, and what's going to be discussed.
[34:11] Now, you might be thinking, well, I'm on the youth commission, what is the brand-on
[34:16] capital doing?
[34:16] Well, actually, it has a lot.
[34:19] First of all, our meetings are always public.
[34:21] Notice the door is open. Notice that there's a sign that says youth condition
[34:26] meeting. That's all done intentionally to let the public know that this is where
[34:31] the meeting is taking place and that they are welcome to sit down. So we always
[34:35] have chairs for members of the public. If we need more chairs, we'll pull them out.
[34:40] We also have agendas for them so that they can follow along too.
[34:50] And so it's
[34:51] a quorum. So I used that word earlier. What is a quorum?
[35:01] It's majority participation.
[35:04] Participation or a ton?
[35:07] Yes. Good. So, if there are 11 of you on the commission, what does it take to have
[35:15] a leave?
[35:17] Yes. So, if there were only five of you and it's six o'clock and that's when
[35:24] the meeting is scheduled to begin. Can we begin? No, we don't. What about if it's 6'10
[35:32] and there's still 5 at the end? Can we begin? No, no. And if we don't have 6 people by 6'15,
[35:38] we have to cancel it. Yeah, we'll be scheduled. So in order to have a corner, we need to have just
[35:45] the majority of you here and then we can start. So if 6 of you are here and we're still missing 5
[35:50] at six o'clock. We're going to start. We're going to start with you without you, but we're going to start.
[35:57] Why would it be so that you can't have a meeting with less than a majority if you can't even go
[36:04] to any event.
[36:08] What's that? I'm even going to give wisdom. Yeah, why us? Because the majority didn't show up.
[36:15] And why is that an issue?
[36:17] Because they could have voted differently.
[36:19] They could have voted differently.
[36:21] If there's only two people, they're
[36:23] going to be representing 11 people.
[36:25] Is that fair?
[36:28] So it's important that we have a corner.
[36:31] And we're going to talk a little bit more about that in a moment.
[36:35] The last point is meeting agenda must be posted at least 72 hours
[36:39] in advance.
[36:40] All of you received a text message and an e-mail about this meeting when.
[36:49] A couple days before.
[36:52] With Friday.
[36:54] All right. So is that 72 hours between Friday and right now?
[36:58] Yeah.
[36:59] Even with the internet outage.
[37:02] Oh, yeah.
[37:03] Oh, yeah. I was concerned about that.
[37:06] So the meeting agenda had to be posted in at least three days in advance.
[37:11] You see that in the city council, you see that with every other commission, it always has to be posted at least 72 hours in advance.
[37:18] Now, if something changes on the agenda after it's been posted, that's fine.
[37:22] You can, you can make edits, but it has to be posted for the public so that they have a chance to read the packets, which all of you have.
[37:30] and receive and so that they can come and be prepared just like you are.
[37:37] And also too, what's on inside the packet is what's going to be discussed.
[37:42] If it's not on here, you can't discuss it.
[37:47] Okay, so how's the part of you?
[37:49] We just talked about this.
[37:50] You cannot discuss items that will currently or potentially be on future agenda when it's not in a commission meeting.
[37:55] So, Commissioner Ortega starts talking about the Opportunity Fair, which this condition
[38:06] has hosted the last few years, which we're talking about shortly.
[38:10] But it's not on the agenda today, but it will likely be in a future meeting, that would
[38:15] be a violation of the drought.
[38:18] So you can only talk about what's in the meeting packet during the meeting and when it's scheduled
[38:23] to be discussed.
[38:24] So if it is item, it's just example 5.1 approval of the minutes and you start talking about the election for chair on item 9.1, that would be a violation of the program.
[38:38] So we're here to kind of help you and guide you and make sure that you are already compliant.
[38:45] Okay. You cannot hold a meeting in private. There are no serial meetings either. Does anybody
[38:53] know what a serial meeting is? We're talking about this area. A serial meeting. You want
[39:01] to know what that is? Okay. So a serial meeting will be if Commissioner Giacola is talking
[39:11] to Commissioner Buu about the intergenerational dance.
[39:16] And then Commissioner Buu starts talking to Commissioner Walker, Commissioner Kataris,
[39:21] and Commissioner Vendel.
[39:25] So how many commissioners have been talking about the intergenerational dance at this point?
[39:31] Five.
[39:33] So is that a meeting?
[39:34] No.
[39:35] You're okay.
[39:36] You're not a court, right?
[39:38] If one more person starts talking about the intergenerational dance who is on this commission,
[39:43] that would be considered a serial meeting.
[39:46] You're not all in the same room talking about it at the same time.
[39:49] What makes it a serial meeting is that you're talking about an issue outside of a formal meeting that's been posted,
[39:56] it's been agendas, but you're doing it in these kind of sign-lose situations.
[40:01] And so what's happening is that you are violating the brown map.
[40:05] You are talking about something that's not on the agenda and the majority of you are in on.
[40:11] So it's very important that when you see each other and whether it's at school or outside of school,
[40:17] I would recommend avoiding talking about specific things about the Youth Commission.
[40:23] You can talk about whether or not you're going to go into the meeting.
[40:27] you can talk about something about that is like a presentation that was made where you're
[40:35] not voting on anything. But if you start talking about something that's very specific to
[40:40] the transmission, there's a chance that if enough of you are talking about it, you're going to
[40:44] violate the bra. And here's the thing, we're not trying to scare you, but we just want you to be
[40:49] aware so you don't make these mistakes. And believe it or not, adults make these mistakes all the time.
[40:59] All right, let's keep going.
[41:01] There are some commissioners from last year.
[41:03] This is the attended a Youth Leadership Conference
[41:06] in Los Altsos, so you'll see pictures
[41:09] from the presentation.
[41:11] Okay.
[41:14] How does a meeting run?
[41:15] You've already kind of got a little bit of a taste of that.
[41:18] Does someone, well, hasn't spoken yet,
[41:20] want to talk about this, or maybe hasn't spoken,
[41:23] but it was on the commission last year.
[41:25] How does a meeting run?
[41:25] How does it start?
[41:38] Okay, so you have your agenda, right? So look at your agenda. And let's look at item five. So in this case, Michelle Ritega says, I didn't find approval of the minutes. So she's announcing the item. Okay. And then what's that?
[41:57] Yes,
[42:04] follow the arrows.
[42:06] Oh, I
[42:09] wish I hadn't done that.
[42:14] Please, don't have a lot of life.
[42:15] It's kind of like a month or so.
[42:18] That's OK. Say you want us to know.
[42:20] The staff at board.
[42:22] We haven't done one yet tonight.
[42:26] What's the staff for?
[42:28] I believe it's a new talk or their part.
[42:31] Yeah. Yeah.
[42:32] Yeah. We're the staff.
[42:33] And we'll report it to you.
[42:34] So it's.
[42:35] It's itself.
[42:36] But basically the what's going to happen is
[42:40] in a little bit, and we get to section number 9.1 elections.
[42:46] The traditional routine is going to be staff report, and I'm going to say yes, and then I'm going to explain
[42:50] what that item is. So in the case of new business 9.1, it's going to be elections for chair,
[42:58] vice chair, and treasurer for the 26-12-7 position. And then I'll, I'll go into detail on how that works.
[43:06] So the chair announces the item, the staff report, and then what happens?
[43:14] You ask questions, yeah.
[43:15] Okay, so how will the election work?
[43:19] Can anyone run for chair?
[43:22] If someone was the vice chair last year, can they run for vice chair day?
[43:27] It could be anything that's relevant to the topic.
[43:31] Okay, we did see this tonight. What's after commission asked the question?
[43:37] I would comment, so we had actually a pub, someone who delivered a public comment.
[43:43] So this is not truly, if there is someone in the public, they can comment on this particular item.
[43:50] So they can't just talk about anything. It has to be relevant to this item.
[43:55] Sometimes the comment is insightful, it raises additional questions that haven't been mentioned yet, so then you're going to go into a discussion.
[44:06] You're going to talk about it further or there is no public comment, but there's still things to discuss.
[44:11] So this is where you may step into your opinion. This is where you may try to make it something where it's going to come down to just one or two votes.
[44:23] And half of the commission is on one side and the other half is on another.
[44:28] It may be an opportunity for you to persuade your fellow commissioners to vote one way or the other.
[44:34] You will often see that on the day is at the city council meetings.
[44:38] And then, once the discussion ends in what can someone do,
[44:49] they can make a motion.
[44:52] And what does that mean? Make a motion.
[44:56] What's that?
[45:00] To move forward with something. Yeah. Can some of you need an example of the mission? We did one already. Right. For example, the minutes. Yeah. So, uh, minute. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, okay. I support the minutes. Is anyone else support the minutes? So what do you do? So, so one second. And then there's a second. Then you can go to a vote. Aye.
[45:28] I don't think I've seen it with this commission, but I have experienced it where there's no second.
[45:34] What happens if there's no second?
[45:36] Is it about the passage where I'll have to go back?
[45:39] No, you have to go back.
[45:41] You have to make a new motion.
[45:43] Because that means no one is willing to support it.
[45:46] Someone has to support the motion.
[45:48] It doesn't mean that it's going to pass, but you need to get at least one other person to support the motion.
[45:53] Okay so you made a motion someone seconded and then you were going to vote and at that
[46:04] point and chaired it earlier with the minutes, all those in favor and then each of you went
[46:10] all down and said whether or not you supported the motion or not.
[46:18] Now we do have an even number of people tonight so if they came down to six to six we may have
[46:25] to vote again on whatever it is, and we may get to that tonight. Who knows? We do have elections
[46:30] coming, so we shall see. Okay, any questions? Okay,
[46:40] how to act during a meeting, be polite
[46:43] and respectful. Listen to all opinions and be back provided by Commissioner, staff, and
[46:49] public. This is really important, so if you are having a side conversation, if you are day
[46:57] dreaming. It's going to be hard for you to be engaged. It's going to be hard for you to
[47:02] follow along and being involved. And everyone has a voice here. Everyone made it through the
[47:09] interview process, the City Council. So you're all here for a reason. And I want all of you
[47:16] to participate. I don't want the conversation to be dominated by two or three voices. It's
[47:20] all of you should be engaged. Focus on the issues, not the personalities. There may be someone here,
[47:29] or whatever reason, you just don't really like, but you agree with that or something. And that's
[47:35] important. So you don't have to be best friends with everyone here, but you do need to focus on the issue,
[47:41] whatever the issue is. So you're not here to be best friends with everyone, but you are here to find
[47:48] some common ground, whatever. Stay on the topic. So if you start
[47:55] veering off, we're going to be like, hey, you need to get back
[47:58] to what the topic is that is on the agenda. And be prepared,
[48:04] bring your binder. So thank you to those commissioners from last
[48:08] year who brought their binder tonight, new commissioners, you're
[48:11] going to have that binder with you all year. Take good care
[48:14] a bit of your agenda and your meeting packet,
[48:18] whole punch, their whole punch for a reason.
[48:20] You can put this in your binder.
[48:23] In your binder, you should also have the commission bylaws,
[48:26] which we'll talk about a little bit.
[48:30] That'll also go in there.
[48:32] And all this will stay in there throughout the year.
[48:34] Is this way you can address that something
[48:35] you may be made to note?
[48:37] Is there a journey of our committee meetings?
[48:39] You may look at something or you may
[48:41] forget it at a future meeting,
[48:42] but hey, what was this about?
[48:43] and then we can take a look at it.
[48:45] So at the end of the meeting,
[48:47] don't leave your agenda behind.
[48:49] Put it in your binder and make sure you bring your binder
[48:51] to every meeting.
[48:56] All right.
[48:58] Okay, and then of course the role our officers
[49:01] to chair the vice chair and the treasurer.
[49:05] What does the chair do?
[49:10] What does that lead to the meeting?
[49:12] Yes, what else does the chair do?
[49:14] They
[49:20] came to peace. They came to peace. How did they come to peace?
[49:25] It's getting a little too round. They round everyone back in or they...
[49:30] How did they do that?
[49:35] So the Galvestore? Okay. What else did they do?
[49:42] The commission represented.
[49:44] Yes. So they're there. The digger had forwarded commission.
[49:49] The commission makes its presentation at the end of the year.
[49:52] to see that in a little bit, but it's the chair who makes the presentation.
[50:01] One more thing, once it's the chair, kind of thing when we're
[50:04] going to be aware of it, the chair will meet with staff in advance of the meetings and go over the
[50:10] agenda. And the chair is also expected to be at everything. So they, a really good chair,
[50:20] is going to be present. They're going to be present, not only at all the meetings, but the
[50:23] committee meetings, especially events that you put on
[50:27] and conferences that we intend to share should always be there.
[50:32] Obviously, things happen in your life unexpectedly,
[50:34] but the chair should expect to be there.
[50:37] So if you know you're gonna have a very busy year this year
[50:40] and you're barely able to just make it to these meetings,
[50:44] the chair will may not be something you may wanna do this year.
[50:48] But if it's something that you know what to expect
[50:51] and you're ready to go,
[50:53] I know it may be something that you've been going to try.
[50:56] What is the vice chair?
[50:58] They have one role.
[50:59] No, a chair.
[51:01] What's that?
[51:02] Nope, a for the chair.
[51:04] What's it, CNN?
[51:05] They have like, with the chair.
[51:08] Uh, they basically take over and they trace places
[51:11] the chair is in there.
[51:12] That's it.
[51:13] That's all that is their main role.
[51:15] The vice chair stands in if the chair is not here.
[51:19] So if you're the vice chair, you may think
[51:22] you know there's not much to do, but that one meeting where the chair is not there,
[51:26] you better be ready to do it. Don't worry about it.
[51:33] Okay, and last, what does the treasure do?
[51:37] The treasure handles the budgets for different items on the work plan and handles the money
[51:44] that's spent on the chair. And what are some of those budget items? Like the opportunity for the
[51:50] the intergenerational dance and the apparel.
[51:52] Okay, good.
[51:53] And at the opportunity fair,
[51:54] what would be like some of the budget items specifically?
[52:00] Green decorations, gift boxes.
[52:04] Excellent, good.
[52:06] And Commissioner Abbinay was the treasure master,
[52:08] that's why I looked at them.
[52:11] Okay, serving on the committee,
[52:16] what would we talk about committees?
[52:17] What are we, what are we talking about?
[52:19] For those of you who are last year,
[52:21] we should be able to answer this one.
[52:23] It's great to have you on the stand.
[52:25] Okay, so what were some of the committees last year?
[52:28] I understand.
[52:30] Okay, what is the legislative committee here?
[52:32] We focus on like a specific issue.
[52:35] Yes, and we'll talk about that in a sec.
[52:38] Okay, so you focus on a specific issue.
[52:40] I had some to do with Gilroy.
[52:43] Okay, what's another committee that she can say?
[52:47] When we have special events like
[52:48] the intergenerational dance we have separate committees which are basically like subgroups that
[52:54] deal with specific aspects of the event and these can't be more than five people or we have the
[53:00] forum. Exactly. Good. Anyone else on anything else that?
[53:09] Okay yeah so we have committees for special
[53:12] events we have committees for the legislative and those meetings are outside of the regular meetings so
[53:18] So it doesn't count, sometimes the committee,
[53:21] well actually I don't think we did do this,
[53:22] but I know in previous years,
[53:24] the committee would be after the regular meeting,
[53:26] but usually it's after school, obviously,
[53:29] when you're available, and we all try to find a time
[53:32] on which to meet, and it might be Wednesday at five,
[53:35] it might be Tuesday at 30,
[53:37] and you would meet with either Stefan or myself,
[53:41] and we usually meet at the senior center.
[53:46] But if you are on a committee, you are expected to be at those meetings.
[53:50] And this way, at the following regular meeting, like the meeting, like we have here, you're going to be reporting on it.
[53:57] So that's why it's important to choose those candidates.
[54:01] Okay, go through this really quickly.
[54:05] So there is a policy for if you are absent excessively.
[54:10] Unfortunately, we did not have anyone who was absent significantly, but basically, if
[54:21] you are absent, one-third of the total regular meetings, more than a third.
[54:26] So let's see, we have about 10 meetings a year.
[54:30] So what would a third do you have?
[54:35] So, basically, if you miss more than three meetings,
[54:40] you could be recommended to be removed from the commission.
[54:46] And in the three or four years that I've been supporting the commission, we haven't had to do that.
[54:53] And hopefully, we don't have to.
[54:54] So, it does not count for a committee meeting.
[54:59] So, those meetings you can miss, and you're not going to get panelists.
[55:02] It's only for the second Monday regular meeting,
[55:06] the formal meeting that we have here.
[55:08] This is where your attendance counts.
[55:10] Any questions?
[55:14] Now, if you can't make a meeting, I'm sorry.
[55:19] Let me know, just let me know too.
[55:21] So I know if we need to print out a message for a meeting
[55:23] packet and it just shows me that you are responsible
[55:28] that you're considered of others.
[55:31] and just, like I said, I always appreciate it.
[55:38] Okay, communication.
[55:40] Most of the communication is gonna be through email
[55:44] as well as through text messages,
[55:46] but it's really important that everyone uses their
[55:50] sitting email.
[55:51] Now, new commissioners, you have all been emailed
[55:55] your information on how to access your sitting email.
[55:59] Some of you have done it.
[56:00] I'm not sure all of you have.
[56:01] If you haven't accessed your city email and you have some questions about it,
[56:05] see me afterwards, or stuff on it, and we can help you with that.
[56:10] It's pretty easy to figure out in five minutes.
[56:14] So all of the communications from here on out, for new conditioners in particular,
[56:18] it's not going to go to your private email, it's going to go to the city email.
[56:22] So it's important that you check it at least two times a week, two or three times a week.
[56:29] You want to check it every day, go for it.
[56:30] You're going to get other emails besides emails from Stefano, but still it's important that you
[56:39] look at the emails. A lot of times they might be timesensitive. They might be a reminder that I'm
[56:43] not kind of meeting or that you want to know when is the opportunity fair going to be. You're probably
[56:48] going to wait for your email. Not everything is going to be in the text message, but I can guarantee
[56:53] you all of the most important information will be in the city. So you all have city email accounts,
[57:00] new commissioners. Again, see me afterwards if you haven't access to it yet or if you have any
[57:05] questions. Very, very, very important. Your city email is open to public scrutiny. So if you're using
[57:14] it for something other than the commission business. First of all, it can be a violation
[57:23] of city policy, but also it could be very embarrassing because the public has the right to review
[57:30] your emails if it so chooses. Someone can submit a public records act and say I want to see all the
[57:36] journeys, eels.
[57:41] And if you have been writing things that are inappropriate or
[57:45] embarrassing, they can they can review it. They can do whatever they want for
[57:49] that. They can post it online. And you hear about this sometimes, right? In the
[57:53] news, people using public resources inappropriately. And there's usually a lot of
[58:01] and then someone gets, it's forced to resign or gets fired.
[58:07] And it's very embarrassing for them, for their family.
[58:10] So don't do it, only use it for city-related business.
[58:15] If you use your personal email and you're conducting city business,
[58:22] like you're talking about youth commission stuff with other youth commissioners,
[58:26] it could also be potentially sent to the public records.
[58:30] So, just use your city email for use commission and everything else for non-utensational service.
[58:39] If you have any questions, see us out.
[58:44] By the way, this is the most I will be talking all year.
[58:48] Okay, so, just bear with us.
[58:50] All right, bylaws, you have them all in your with you.
[58:56] They should be next to your binder, those by-laws, oh, there's two about here.
[59:02] Right, it's relatively short.
[59:03] It's only three pages.
[59:05] They were adopted just a couple of years ago.
[59:08] This is what explains how these commission works, how often they need eligibility requirements.
[59:16] It talks about asceticism, it talks about forms, it talks about the role of new officers, it talks
[59:22] about committees, all that stuff.
[59:23] So, between now and the next meeting, please, especially new commissioners, review it.
[59:30] It just gives you an idea of how the commission functions.
[59:36] They were first adopted in 1999,
[59:39] they've been amended over the years, they focus on these various topics. All right,
[59:44] I'm going to have two former youth commissioners. Okay, and then so we talked about this earlier,
[59:50] the work plan. So your work plan actually carries over from last year. You will also
[59:55] though be responsible so that you're not making a new work plan right now.
[1:00:00] You will actually be tasked with that at the end of this. So that's something that some of you haven't experienced yet. You'll be able to create the work plan for the next youth finish. But for this year, this is what you are focused on. You are going to identify a legislative issue that impacts youth and teens. What was the legislative issue last year?
[1:00:36] Yes, yes, and so do you commission what did you do you advocated for the mission to topic and advocate it to City Council to implement to imply a policy for yes exactly so.
[1:00:51] So, and how many months did that take to put together?
[1:00:56] Certainly.
[1:00:57] So, you're already finished at around like a year for all,
[1:01:02] to be ready in the name.
[1:01:03] Yeah.
[1:01:04] From three, four.
[1:01:06] Yeah, it's a big undertaking.
[1:01:08] And again, it was a very dedicated committee that met weekly
[1:01:12] at certain points and put together a really impressive policy.
[1:01:18] Okay, participate in a community cleanup day.
[1:01:21] there's actually one coming up in a few weeks and then there's another one at
[1:01:25] the end of the year, organized and housed an intergenerational dance at the
[1:01:29] senior center. What is the intergenerational dance?
[1:01:34] The dance where all the seniors and adults come and spend it with the community.
[1:01:41] Yes, and what did you do at the intergenerational?
[1:01:48] Some of us watched the popcorn and we were just sitting at the table, listening to
[1:01:54] every story that they had to tell us and we passed out through the gap and was there
[1:02:01] a theme?
[1:02:03] It was calling it, yes, and actually you can see this is kind of what it looked like, there's
[1:02:09] the popcorn, there's the VIP badge, and so a lot of fun.
[1:02:15] And of course, who is the audience that you're serving?
[1:02:19] Senior.
[1:02:20] Seniorers.
[1:02:21] Okay.
[1:02:22] Who are very, very excited about it.
[1:02:25] And I've been asking me, when is the intergenerational dance?
[1:02:29] Okay.
[1:02:30] Sport breakfast with Santa.
[1:02:31] You're being volunteering at the annual breakfast with Santa.
[1:02:33] You may have gone to it when you were very young.
[1:02:36] Now you're going to have the help supporting it.
[1:02:39] What is senior tech day?
[1:02:41] So two times a year around November and December, we come to the senior center around the morning and assist the seniors with their technical devices.
[1:02:55] They come to us like quite a few usually simple issues and we help them.
[1:03:01] Yeah, what are some of those issues?
[1:03:04] I remember someone couldn't figure out their wallpaper.
[1:03:08] He also wanted another senior's phone number into his phone, and there was like one of
[1:03:15] them was some issue with a woman's Wi-Fi and her computer, so it's usually not like too
[1:03:20] much techy stuff.
[1:03:22] It just makes it a day better.
[1:03:24] Good.
[1:03:25] Yeah, and me, I want to say I think the commission served last year over 40 singers, and they were
[1:03:31] very appreciative.
[1:03:31] And then lastly, opportune team fair, what is the opportune team fair?
[1:03:42] With contact level, which it loses, and organizations to come here, and set a booth so that
[1:03:51] people can come and find volunteer hours, jobs, and everything.
[1:03:58] Yeah, it's basically a career fair for 13th.
[1:04:04] Yeah, so we'll be doing that again this year.
[1:04:06] Where was it held?
[1:04:09] Yeah, at the gym.
[1:04:10] We were gym.
[1:04:11] I was on the other side of the library.
[1:04:14] And anyone remember having people came?
[1:04:18] Yeah, I was actually supposed to 200 people.
[1:04:21] 200 students.
[1:04:22] Yeah.
[1:04:25] And then also, you are going to get your own e-commissioned apparel.
[1:04:32] So last year, the commissioners voted to get t-shirts.
[1:04:36] So we have a budget for that.
[1:04:37] We have a budget for the opportunity there.
[1:04:40] We have a budget for the intergenerational dance as well.
[1:04:44] So the budget allows you to put on this.
[1:04:49] Okay, last is the end-of-the-year council presentation.
[1:04:54] So everything we've discussed, you're going to now see it explained by last year's chair
[1:05:01] and on the wind, and I'm going to pull it up.
[1:05:04] So,
[1:05:13] and.
[1:05:23] Even later,
[1:05:24] think I'm thinking,
[1:05:25] why did this add in to you?
[1:05:27] Well, sorry.
[1:05:29] If you were all of those who this year's commission,
[1:05:32] it's comprised of a real band,
[1:05:35] a band,
[1:05:37] Sophia,
[1:05:38] Callas Andrew,
[1:05:41] Logan,
[1:05:42] Ashling,
[1:05:43] Jacob,
[1:05:44] and
[1:05:47] to start out,
[1:05:48] let's give you a quick overview.
[1:05:49] The newer you can mention proudly represents the voice
[1:05:52] of lower view than our community.
[1:05:54] And by seeing state council members on issues at 14 teams,
[1:05:58] a one-word organizing youth-led initiatives across the world.
[1:06:01] This year, civic engagement rose to new heights
[1:06:04] with the best-like of the opportunity there,
[1:06:07] student-tech week, records with Sarasav,
[1:06:10] gap attack, and the intergenerational dance.
[1:06:13] Throughout this all, we foster leadership, service,
[1:06:17] and collaboration.
[1:06:20] To start in the members last year,
[1:06:22] We held the earth generational dance. This was a special night for both seniors and ourselves as we were able to bond through
[1:06:30] dancing, music, dinner, and in-line conversations. The evening of the night was Hollywood and we had over 70 seniors and wishing cousins, along with the photo booth and hair dinner.
[1:06:43] Now, here's a behind-the-scenes shows from the day before when we were setting up the popcorn to the left to the middle with us
[1:06:50] testing out the jeopardy into the riot with us putting on some lights on the movies, on the
[1:06:57] posters.
[1:06:59] Now, we've lost the night of, we have us with a few of the seniors, the fire that we had
[1:07:04] sent them is near the middle top and then to the left is the organization of the tables.
[1:07:09] And so the floor left is a key change that we had given them for the night to remember
[1:07:15] with their phone, we voted to them.
[1:07:18] Then in December, we hosted the darkness of Zana.
[1:07:22] This was held at the senior center and we served over 200 attendees
[1:07:26] and helped youth with holiday themes, activities such as cookie
[1:07:30] and bad weathering along with weather baking.
[1:07:35] Then in November and in December, we held several senior type days.
[1:07:40] We supported over 43 seniors with our centralizes,
[1:07:43] ranging from iPhones, iPhones to computers.
[1:07:46] And it was also knowing that we can help them get more touch towards technology.
[1:07:53] Then in March, a few commissioners and I attended the active type conference.
[1:07:57] This stands for the U.P. by the Commission.
[1:08:00] It was held at Los Altos out of the community center.
[1:08:03] And it was a day for the early U.P.
[1:08:05] to come together to learn more about the community about issues that are affecting each of our communities.
[1:08:11] And it was also the data foster leadership.
[1:08:14] There we also held a new, there we also held the workshop about our,
[1:08:18] your generational dance on the ethnicity prior in our record.
[1:08:22] We talked about positive views that come out of it,
[1:08:24] along with some aspects we would like to agree with in the future.
[1:08:30] And most recently, in March, we held our annual opportunity fair.
[1:08:35] This was hosted at the Wheelership,
[1:08:37] and it serves as an opportunity for hundreds of high school students in New Orleans
[1:08:41] to learn more about, and apply, or internship,
[1:08:44] for future opportunities and jobs.
[1:08:46] We had 23 businesses and organizations there, and over 184 students from across five
[1:08:53] middle and high schools and from across five middle and high school to the USD.
[1:09:00] And it was also seeing them all bond against the award on the opportunities that George
[1:09:05] asked to offer.
[1:09:08] Now moving on to our legislative issue.
[1:09:10] As you may know, each year, if you commission proposes a fact to tackle a legislative issue,
[1:09:16] A year is prior to the effort goes to the development of the new center.
[1:09:20] Last year, we proposed the Saving of an Ending Year in France.
[1:09:24] We see Global War 3 out of power.
[1:09:26] And this year, we would like to talk about implementation of bicycle barriers in our community.
[1:09:32] Now, let's get it off to Logan to discuss more of this issue.
[1:09:36] I don't know how long I need to load and go on a fine.
[1:09:42] Inattentive Bipers is a form of physical separation at separate Bipers from vehicles on the street.
[1:09:49] It prevents vehicles from entering into the Bipers and reduces the risk of collisions from a crime.
[1:09:56] There are different types of type of Bipers.
[1:09:58] City can't work great.
[1:10:00] You only have the East Bay and its advantages and disadvantages.
[1:10:04] For example, the billionaire posts, which you can see on the bottom of page 1, are a thin,
[1:10:12] cost effective solution
[1:10:18] for alerts, which is the other screen,
[1:10:23] and are thin.
[1:10:30] Next up is Ashley and we'll speak about...
[1:10:36] Can you be talking about my working hair?
[1:10:37] My name's Ashley Madal.
[1:10:39] And I'm a gay figure, I deal with that.
[1:10:41] One of the major issues is loss to parking.
[1:10:43] By planning to require extra space for thoughtful and places to talk to spots.
[1:10:46] This could upset us in for bipartisan lives.
[1:10:50] Year's bull, year of weapons faces to make drop-off and pick up times more crowded and accessible.
[1:10:55] Another challenge is cost.
[1:10:57] Protecting by-way costs in a million more than painted lines.
[1:11:01] Constructing complaints from 100,000 dollars to a million dollars per year.
[1:11:06] Protecting by-way costs in a million dollars per year.
[1:11:09] Protecting by-way costs in a million dollars per year.
[1:11:10] Lastly, community impact matters.
[1:11:13] When residential negatively affected, it can discourage support from prior to that thing
[1:11:16] of influence of water flow climate, just like we see an incident as to if we discuss
[1:11:23] the next action.
[1:11:23] But can you remember if the left-of-bakels are not on board, this Consulatant Park cat was
[1:11:27] offered entirely.
[1:11:29] Coming up, our next action will be discussing other things.
[1:11:34] Good evening, fellow members.
[1:11:35] My name is Maya Sanchez, and I'm currently a senior AgJeta.
[1:11:39] So today, I would like to examine a few different cities that have enacted their
[1:11:42] goals seen for biplanes. For one, I would like to create your attention in the city of
[1:11:46] Guberteno, who recently developed a two-way severed lifeline surrounding along the middle
[1:11:51] school. You can actually see this example right here on the screen. It was part of a large
[1:11:55] alternative to developing deeper paths for students to travel human from school. In 2003,
[1:12:01] Randall Spistol also enacted for only fewer biplanes. At your after-the-pigals construction, they
[1:12:07] conducted a research study which found that you could decrease by an average of 10% along that
[1:12:12] order, while my single list increased substantially by 69%. However, there is an other side of the
[1:12:19] story, and if any of us, residents recently voted to remove and redesign a projected bike
[1:12:25] lane that had been constructed less than a year earlier. Residents cited problems about parking,
[1:12:31] driver confusion, and traffic dams as justification for the removal. Then you can redesign, we'll
[1:12:36] the city around $3 million dollars. Now I would like to bring the attention to.
[1:12:51] Well, looking at the research we went into correctly protected bike lanes
[1:12:56] and operate those benefits. These benefits range from rider safety to overall ridership.
[1:13:02] Additionally, riders are less vulnerable to car doors and gets worried cars.
[1:13:08] And in multi-city study conducted by the University of Colorado Denver and the University of New
[1:13:14] my scale. Researchers found separated bike lanes saw a decrease of fatalities by 44%
[1:13:21] as well as an increase in bicycle commuters by as much as 80%. Another study at Rutgers
[1:13:27] University discovered protected bike lanes were associated with decreased car speeds,
[1:13:31] especially for right-in terms, which saw a 21% average decrease in speeds.
[1:13:38] Lastly, we would like to talk to you about policy recommendations.
[1:13:48] And so, you want to consideration both excited fits and its research, the Youth Commission will
[1:13:54] want to recommend that the City Council develop a policy that would take it to consideration
[1:13:58] the development of protective white school areas, wherever there is a new street project,
[1:14:04] there is school or near high traffic areas such as first street or tennis street.
[1:14:10] Thank you so much for your time and I would like to take your questions.
[1:14:18] All right.
[1:14:20] All right. All right. So that was last year's,
[1:14:25] okay, if that is in orientation, they can do your patience. Any questions?
[1:14:34] Okay.
[1:14:38] I'm going to try to back up to chair.
[1:14:40] Okay. The next item is new business starting with 9.1.
[1:14:45] Elections for chair, twice chair, and the treasurer for when we say 27 new commission.
[1:14:56] So I'm going to just present on how this is going to work
[1:15:00] Okay, so we've talked about what the chair does, we've talked about what the vice chair does, we've talked about the treasure. So, this is your opportunity to select those officers 10 minutes. And then starting at the next meeting, they will, we will implement those positions. So they won't do it tonight, but we'll start at the next meeting. Okay, so typically we start with the chair position. So if you are interested in running for the chair,
[1:15:29] You are going to provide a 30-second speech on why you think you are and should be the best chair of youth commission.
[1:15:40] And then we will see if other people want to do it.
[1:15:45] And then we'll close the nominations. You'll make your presentation and then you will vote.
[1:15:51] And we are going to do it secret ballot. So we have some paper. You have your pens.
[1:15:56] And then we are going to collect the ballots and then we will let you know who is going to be a chair.
[1:16:03] If you ran for chair and you were not selected, you can then run for vice chair.
[1:16:08] Same thing, you'll ask who is interested in running for vice chair.
[1:16:12] You will then give your your 32nd speech and then we'll do the voting.
[1:16:17] And if you don't get selected for vice chair, you can also then run for treasure.
[1:16:21] If there's only one person running for the office, then they automatically get selected.
[1:16:29] Any questions?
[1:16:33] All right.
[1:16:35] So without further ado, who would like to be the chair for the 2026-27 Youth Kish?
[1:16:51] I'm sorry, you're right, you're right, Commissioner Jones is reminding me, okay, are there any nominations for the 2026-27? You can nominate yourself or you can nominate someone else?
[1:17:07] Does Commissioner Bill accept the nomination?
[1:17:10] I accept. Okay. Does anyone else want to nominate someone?
[1:17:17] I'd like to nominate Commissioner Jackson Liu.
[1:17:21] Okay. The Commissioner Liu accepts the nomination.
[1:17:25] Yes. Okay. All right. So we have two candidates so far.
[1:17:29] Is anyone else interested in nominating someone or yourself?
[1:17:33] I
[1:17:37] want to nominate commissioners and then go back.
[1:17:40] Okay, commissioners, I go back.
[1:17:43] Are you accepting nomination?
[1:17:45] Yes, I accept.
[1:17:49] Okay.
[1:17:51] So we have three candidates.
[1:17:53] Is anyone else interested in becoming the e-commission chair?
[1:17:59] Dominate themselves or nominate someone else?
[1:18:04] This is the, oh, I'd like to nominate myself and I assume you accept it.
[1:18:12] Yeah.
[1:18:14] Commissioner Avenue, Avenue.
[1:18:17] All right.
[1:18:17] So,
[1:18:20] uh, Stefan, who do we have running here?
[1:18:23] Uh, at the time we have Commissioner Wu.
[1:18:26] Commissioner Lee.
[1:18:27] Uh, Commissioner Decova.
[1:18:29] Decova.
[1:18:30] And Commissioner Avenue.
[1:18:32] Avenue.
[1:18:33] Yeah.
[1:18:33] Have a NA.
[1:18:34] Follow the news.
[1:18:35] I'll get it right now.
[1:18:35] Okay.
[1:18:36] Uh, so Commissioner, uh, the Acobas, since you are a city at the end here, would you like to
[1:18:43] go first in your 30 second?
[1:18:46] Uh, essentially.
[1:18:46] Yeah.
[1:18:47] Sure.
[1:18:48] Um, so hi, everybody.
[1:18:49] I've already been involved in the Youth Commission for a year now.
[1:18:53] And I've attended and helped plan every event with minimal parties.
[1:18:58] Um, I'm also been the point of contact for several aspects of the event.
[1:19:02] So, if you're a returning member, you might remember the intergenerational dance.
[1:19:06] I was the lead on the photo, and that took quite a lot of time away from the events.
[1:19:13] And I have a good understanding on how the Commission operates now with my year.
[1:19:18] I'm also in ASP at my school, so I have some leadership experience.
[1:19:23] And at that planning skills, I'm sure we'll transfer over to here, and I'm sure whoever
[1:19:29] However, is the vice chair and I would also make a great.
[1:19:35] Okay, Christopher.
[1:19:36] Hello, my name's Jeremy Zhu.
[1:19:38] And so on my experience, that would help me for this role is currently I'm working with my youth minister at my church.
[1:19:46] And I help teach teams confirmation.
[1:19:49] And I also was a keynote speaker at a retreat and I help organize the retreat.
[1:19:54] So I know how to organize large events.
[1:19:56] and I can help them run some movie.
[1:19:58] I think considered around 300 of our use in our program.
[1:20:03] Also, I was last year part of the Dora Library
[1:20:06] Ten Advisory Board, so I've also commissioned events
[1:20:09] for that organization.
[1:20:10] So I can work tightly with those around me,
[1:20:13] including the vice chair and my other peers.
[1:20:17] So I feel like I'd be a good fit for this role.
[1:20:20] Hey, we sure have a day.
[1:20:23] Hello, everyone.
[1:20:24] My name is Rob Bonnet.
[1:20:25] I believe I've served on the Youth Commission for three years now and I feel like since the beginning being part of the project like the opportunity fair from its chaotic to successful start.
[1:20:39] It's introduced me to how we can make events rise and grow from the beginning.
[1:20:44] Some outside experience I have, I've volunteered hundreds of hours at my local middle school, where I've gotten close with the youth and helped learn what they want into this community.
[1:20:56] The intergenerational dance was a new event that I believe was very successful and being a part of the idea of the inspiration from the beginning made it also very satisfying to see it end well.
[1:21:11] I believe I can help the commission and bring everyone together and make sure everyone is satisfied.
[1:21:17] My role as a treasurer helped me realize the importance and responsibility behind this role.
[1:21:24] And my work with the Vice Treasurer will ensure that we continue to have another successful work here.
[1:21:32] my name is Jackson Liu. At work, I'm a left guard, so I work with all sorts of kids, little
[1:21:42] middle school, RH to see your citizens. It's all sorts of interactions as well as I've helped train
[1:21:51] and help new employees with anything, everything and anything under the sun.
[1:21:59] It's a lot of communication and working with other lifeguards, especially when there's
[1:22:06] an emergency.
[1:22:07] It's a lot of communications, quick communications, as well as just interpersonal things, school.
[1:22:15] I help two or other people when they need little help with things, like just small assignments.
[1:22:22] I think that I have the communication skills and also leadership within schooling to have
[1:22:33] me be fit for the chair.
[1:22:37] Okay.
[1:22:38] Thank you.
[1:22:39] All right.
[1:22:40] Stepan is going to pass out your ballot.
[1:22:43] You are going to write one name only on who you think best represents.
[1:22:48] of the Youth Commission to become the Chair.
[1:22:53] Please, it's going to be either Commissioner Diacobla,
[1:22:56] Commissioner Hu, Commissioner Abbinay,
[1:22:58] or Commissioner Liu.
[1:23:03] Since there are four candidates,
[1:23:05] we may have to have two rounds,
[1:23:07] depending on how they're going in our roles.
[1:23:10] Yes, he does.
[1:23:11] Yes.
[1:23:18] What's it?
[1:23:20] All right, as soon as you're done,
[1:23:21] please hand your ballots folded
[1:23:23] and hand it to the bar and
[1:23:35] do it to the model.
[1:23:46] Okay.
[1:23:47] Anyone else know you?
[1:23:47] Stefan and Michael count the ballots.
[1:24:02] Well, so what is the subject?
[1:24:07] Right.
[1:24:08] I mean,
[1:24:34] so your chair will be.
[1:24:37] I'm sure to come back.
[1:24:45] Okay.
[1:24:47] Okay next is the vice chair, are there any nominations for the vice chair?
[1:24:55] Mr. Wu, I'd like to nominate Commissioner Ruobai.
[1:25:01] I accept.
[1:25:04] Okay, any other nominations?
[1:25:09] What's the next one to go this way?
[1:25:12] I'd like to nominate Jackson Liu for the vice chair.
[1:25:16] I said, okay, Commissioner Liu, Commissioner Gaterrace.
[1:25:24] Okay, Commissioner Gaterrace, Commissioner Purdy.
[1:25:28] I was like, okay, Commissioner Purdy.
[1:25:32] Commissioner Ortega.
[1:25:33] Okay, to nominate, I was in it.
[1:25:36] Okay, Commissioner Burmita has accepted nomination.
[1:25:41] He does.
[1:25:42] Okay.
[1:25:43] And then anyone else on the side?
[1:25:45] Yes, I'd like to nominate Commissioner Wu, eggs up, okay, Commissioner Wu, and
[1:25:52] give another nomination. Commissioner Vitares. I'd also like to nominate
[1:25:57] Commissioner Wu. Wait, Commissioner Wu? Oh, oh,
[1:26:04] Vandal, you accept, okay. Let's nominate everyone, just for you. Okay, we do need a majority,
[1:26:12] Okay, new ballots, Stefano.
[1:26:17] Okay, Stefano's going to pass out the ballots, same thing.
[1:26:21] So your nominations are having a blue,
[1:26:24] contairs, pretty comedies of blue and...
[1:26:28] Last call, anyone else?
[1:26:32] Okay.
[1:26:33] Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yes, you can still pass those out.
[1:26:36] Sure. Let's do the presentations.
[1:26:39] Okay, come to the showroom.
[1:26:41] Again, my name is David Rue.
[1:26:43] To reiterate, I was on a contact with teams
[1:26:47] and rolling in the second half of confirmation at the church.
[1:26:51] And not only that similar to Rue,
[1:26:53] I've also volunteered on my local middle school,
[1:26:56] Brown L, for hundreds of hours.
[1:26:58] I've also volunteered at various tutor services,
[1:27:02] such as CL and the Duret Library.
[1:27:04] With my solo volunteer, I was reaching over
[1:27:07] We're 270 hours, so I've had a lot of experience working with the teams I use and all my other
[1:27:14] peers and even supervisors.
[1:27:17] And I feel like I could work well with Diana as chair and also my fellow peers in terms
[1:27:25] of working through any issues, working towards any goals and I feel like I could leadership
[1:27:33] for this role.
[1:27:34] And I could.
[1:27:34] Yes, thank you. I had to be repetitive, but my name is Raub on it. I feel like the
[1:27:43] Vice Chair role fits me because once again I have lots of experience in the Youth Commission
[1:27:49] and also volunteering outside of school. Throughout my time at the Youth Commission,
[1:27:58] one thing that I've learned is really important is a close connection between the leadership roles.
[1:28:04] And I feel like that can be attained with me and the chair.
[1:28:10] Additionally, a close connection between the team is also required,
[1:28:15] which was important in events like the intergenerational events,
[1:28:19] opportunity, fair, and many more to come.
[1:28:23] Once again, I hate to be repetitive, but my volunteer hours also help me know what to give to the community.
[1:28:33] Thank you.
[1:28:34] Right.
[1:28:35] To share with you, Sarah.
[1:28:38] My name is Lisa Freeman-Tarris, and I would like to run the role as vice chair because
[1:28:44] I want to be more involved with the commission, especially since this is most likely my last
[1:28:49] year to continue on the fire to revert, but I would like to help out, I have a lot of good
[1:28:55] I want to pitch to everyone I want to help others with diversity because there are a lot of ideas that I have that I didn't end up sharing
[1:29:10] and I wasn't ever called, but this year I want to be more involved with the care I want to be in there.
[1:29:17] That's what I want.
[1:29:19] Okay, thank you.
[1:29:20] Commissioner Perth.
[1:29:21] Oh, good morning.
[1:29:22] My name is Roy.
[1:29:24] I'm really glad to meet you.
[1:29:25] I'm a good fit for the role of Vice Chair of the League Commission.
[1:29:28] Because I have tons and tons of experience.
[1:29:31] And I think we'll solve that.
[1:29:32] Through your short hand.
[1:29:33] It helps start.
[1:29:34] he is in student union at Christopher High School, co-founded another club and I'm looking to
[1:29:40] co-found two more clubs. I've done a year of leadership at Christopher High School which
[1:29:46] has helped me the experience and understand how to work with people. I applied to scholarship
[1:29:52] to attend this camp for ILO.
[1:29:54] I think you know about that.
[1:29:55] It's pretty full as a leadership camp.
[1:29:58] And I believe that...
[1:30:00] I'm very good at communication and I'm able to read a team such as this with the task that we are to be given. And for those reasons, I think it will be for vice chair. Hey, thank you. What's your bandit? I changed my self-ordinates, actually, and this is my second term on the commission and I'm writing to be the vice chair of the commission. I believe I'm ready for this position because I'm really showing my commitment to this commission. I'm attending both of the events that I've done, which is a senior 10 day.
[1:30:28] And I'm going to provide priority to be present to most of the events and I want to contribute as much as I can to this to these events this year.
[1:30:36] And I understand the response really is coming to be a part of this commission.
[1:30:39] And I'm ready to think that the response will be further further.
[1:30:42] As much chair, I want to be someone in this commission that you can depend on.
[1:30:45] I'll support the chair, listen to every commission, help give us organized and make sure our BS don't just stay ideas.
[1:30:50] I want to actually put them into action.
[1:30:52] I care about the work that we do, and in fact, you're on the
[1:30:55] going of youth, and I'm ready to step up to meet.
[1:30:57] Thank you, and I have a moment.
[1:31:00] Okay, Commissioner, for you, that's an interesting talk
[1:31:03] you can tell, Hunter.
[1:31:04] And I feel like I'd be a fit for my chair, because I don't have
[1:31:09] as much leadership skills to be chair, but I have enough
[1:31:14] leadership skills to be best chair, to be back from the chair,
[1:31:17] to help with anything that is discussed upon.
[1:31:23] I also have two summers worth of hours at the Plex.
[1:31:30] I spoke with kids as a leader.
[1:31:35] I was complimented on how I was able to,
[1:31:38] whether I've had these 15-14 kids in just one year.

[1:31:44] Thank you for your time.
[1:31:45] So again, my name is Jackson, or a Jacksonville at work.
[1:31:52] Again, you get a lot of communication with all sorts of people.
[1:31:56] It's a lot of talking to people and just understanding what they need and how they need it in the moment.
[1:32:04] I also think me and Diana would make a pretty good team.
[1:32:11] And I also help a lot of people within my school.
[1:32:16] I've given little tips on how to help with math and how to understand things.
[1:32:24] And I also take in what people tell me so that I can help them in a better way.
[1:32:32] It's a lot of communication and understanding what people need so that I can reciprocate and give them what they need.
[1:32:39] And then it's a lot of back and forth that I understand due to a lot of my experience.
[1:32:46] Okay, thank you.

[1:35:59] Okay, so who's he having?
[1:36:01] Yeah, Commissioner Noen, Lou, Lou,
[1:36:03] pretty and then all. Okay, all right. We're gonna do our 20 seconds elevator pitch. All right.
[1:36:14] I guess you're competitive. My opinion review. But here's some new tips, bits of information.
[1:36:19] During my interview, I like, I like to mention that I said I like to sponsor some sports programs
[1:36:24] or some sports camps because I noticed a lack of that. And by understanding the funding that goes
[1:36:30] behind it. I could effectively pull off this task and accomplishes school that I've
[1:36:35] been brought up to me by many people such as former some graduates, juniors, sophomore,
[1:36:41] freshman, and other peers. Not only that, I also have experienced in math because I skipped
[1:36:46] a grade going instead of going into math one my first year of high school. I went to math
[1:36:52] two and eventually I already actually pre-calc even getting a five on the exam that I'm
[1:36:57] get enough to get to do the math. 20 seconds. Okay, thank you. All right. Who is next?
[1:37:07] Commissioner. All right. All right. I'm going to give my name is William Green. I think
[1:37:12] I've made a good fit for the role of Federal as I've worked with the HVT Federal in my 8-3-year
[1:37:18] field school. I mean, I'm a fundraising manager and I have a
[1:37:23] treasurer of the Asian student union, along with the two other
[1:37:27] floods that I'm hoping to restart. I know my way around money
[1:37:31] a lot. I help manage the money for my mom's business that she
[1:37:34] does. So I'll see you guys. And one of the reasons I think I
[1:37:39] you could pay for a charger. Okay, sure. I think to be this year's
[1:37:47] treasure because I do have some ties of being so much treasure. My sister was
[1:37:51] treasure for her 8th grade year so I have to a lot with like paying money for a
[1:37:55] speed. And then to... I forgot I mentioned my last
[1:37:59] gauge first share. I have a lot of leadership experience.
[1:38:03] I've been actively involved in the Sea of Villarreal since I was 12. I
[1:38:07] I was in a youth foundation from year 23, 24.
[1:38:13] I've been an active member of ASME for three years
[1:38:15] and I'm filling the leadership class
[1:38:17] for my school and I'm planning on running
[1:38:19] for a freshman officer in the city of France.
[1:38:22] All right, finish on the wind.
[1:38:25] Hello everyone, my name is Abigail.
[1:38:27] I'm also a junior at GFRI.
[1:38:28] I believe I am a good role for a good role for a treasure.
[1:38:33] Big name because my passion is my only experience.
[1:38:36] I do really like, um, you know, I, I mean, you know, chemistry made it, but Matt's actually
[1:38:46] wanted to find a job in school, and also, um, I have my own experiences as my class
[1:38:51] treasure.
[1:38:52] I ran and saw her in here, got the position, and ran again for this year and got uncontested.
[1:38:58] Um, and baby Chapman is that I planned one of the budgets for our Halloween dance, which
[1:39:07] We were able to bring in a revenue of $2,000, as well as around $120 to each of our trades,
[1:39:15] which was about 50% more than last year.
[1:39:19] And I did that by prioritizing not only, for sure, the way I'm going to ask you that.
[1:39:25] Oh, quite bad.
[1:39:26] But basically, I have to experience and the passion, and I'm going to believe that I'm a great
[1:39:30] fit for treasured.
[1:39:31] All right.
[1:39:32] Thank you.
[1:39:32] and Christian. Again, I'm Jackson. As I say before, I do love math. I find it so interesting
[1:39:41] and I just enjoy the numbers and crunching the numbers. At my work, I helped as a cashier
[1:39:48] and I've worked with money. Also, as my volunteer hours, I've worked at like snack bars instead of
[1:39:54] to work with money.
[1:39:58] I'm working on buying my own car with my own money, but it just takes a lot of
[1:40:04] money, but it takes a lot of being able to work with money and understanding
[1:40:11] what you need to put in to take out and how you're going to get that money back after you make the
[1:40:20] investment. Thank you. Okay, please write the name, candidate. You think
[1:40:26] should be the next treasure. And when you're ready, please give it to
[1:40:30] Stefan, and hold
[1:40:35] it.
[1:40:48] I'm called. Thanks. Thank you, Michael. It's
[1:40:52] nothing.
[1:41:06] Treasure does not present the, the treasures report,
[1:41:10] work with compassion. They won't work with it.
[1:41:19] Just a small piece of advice.
[1:41:33] Right. And your treasure is a machine or a new
[1:41:43] answer. But I also think those who put the
[1:41:45] process out there, who gave a speech and appreciate their efforts. So thank you all. All right.
[1:41:53] We are almost at the finish line. I guarantee you this will be the longest deal of
[1:41:58] year. Moving on to item 9.2, uh, the
[1:42:03] fragification needs of that assessment update. Yes. Yes.
[1:42:07] Yes. Sorry. Thank you. Uh,
[1:42:11] Michelle Vertega. Okay. So for the
[1:42:14] Reformation needs assessment, this is on page
[1:42:16] 7, 8 and 9 of your lead packet last
[1:42:19] after good morning evening. Uh,
[1:42:21] so the city of door has a launch trade
[1:42:24] division needs assessment which basically means
[1:42:26] is that they are seeking input from the community to find out what is it that they
[1:42:32] want in terms of recreation activities, recreation activities, everything. Swimming, hiking,
[1:42:38] playing pimpleball, it's dancing, it's being in the theaters, it's going for a bike ride, it's
[1:42:44] going for a walk, it's anything that you are doing when you are not sleeping, you are not working,
[1:42:51] and you'll just enjoy yourself.
[1:42:54] So in any event, there are some terms of the page eight
[1:43:00] that are some upcoming meetings
[1:43:02] that you simply need postings to ask for your input.
[1:43:06] You can also, if I'm gonna pass these out here,
[1:43:09] take one, there's a QR code on this plier.
[1:43:15] We would love it if you could provide your input
[1:43:18] And that information is being tabulated and to get an idea of what is it that residents
[1:43:25] of Gilroy, regardless of their age, want to see, want more of, what types of programs,
[1:43:31] what types of services, what is it that Gilroy is not offering that either way.
[1:43:38] So there's a QR code, Bill, the survey would take probably no more than five minutes and
[1:43:45] We'd love to get your input in this report.
[1:43:50] We'll come together so all of the information
[1:43:52] from the surveys, from all of the program services
[1:43:55] that are currently offered,
[1:43:57] programs and services that are being offered
[1:43:59] by other cities.
[1:43:59] It's all going to come together in a final report.
[1:44:02] It's going to be presented to the City Council,
[1:44:04] and it's free.
[1:44:06] By the way, the question is,
[1:44:09] you know, all right.
[1:44:12] Turn it back to you.
[1:44:13] Moving on to item 7. Is there any old business? There is none.
[1:44:19] Moving on to item 11. Are there any staff slash permission comment?
[1:44:24] Just that the next meeting is Monday September 14th. I will send out a reminder, but put that into your calendar.
[1:44:32] Again, it's going to be the second Monday of the month unless there's a holiday or we don't have.
[1:44:40] Yes, if you are having trouble accessing your city email account will come see me afterwards and if you could help put away the tables and chairs, that would be great.
[1:44:51] All right.
[1:44:53] We've earned that $7.47 bill.
[1:44:56] All right, what's yours from the same time?
[1:44:58] Same time.
[1:45:00] Six o'clock, sooner or seven. And thank you, Chair, for serving that session today. We wish you the best of the surveys.
[1:45:09] I don't know if you can give us right to know who you are, I'll only be a person or
[1:45:12] a person who is so close to me.
