REPORT TO YOUTH COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Youth Commission Committee Report on Work Plan Goal-Public Outreach
Report
BACKGROUND
The Youth Commission chose "Public Outreach" as one of their FY 2018-19 Work Plan Goals. The Committee's purpose is to raise community awareness of the Youth Commission and other important topics including, but not limited to: youth in government, the environment, and cultural awareness.
DISCUSSION
Committee members will provide an update on their objectives to the Commission. The Commission raised awareness of urban agriculture in February 2019. In March 2019, the Committee has chosen to focus on civic engagement/youth in government: voter registration, how youth can get involved in elections and government, and the importance of local elections. The Committee focused on how this information applies to three age groups: 15 and under, 16-17, and 18 and over. The format for the outreach will be a video, approximately three minutes in length that will be posted to social media.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Youth Commission's agenda on the City's official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City's website and in the City Clerk's Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting.
