Title
Youth Commission 2019-20 Work Plan & Goals
Report
BACKGROUND
The Youth Commission develops an annual work plan for each term which is created through a discussion of current trends relating to the youth and teen population. For the 2019-20 term the following goals were selected based on priority and community needs:
• foster inclusiveness in the community,
• encourage health and wellness,
• support youth in government, and
• help the environment.
DISCUSSION
Commissioners will finalize the 2019-20 work plan, after considering input from Mayor and City Council after their joint meeting to be held on December 10, 2019. Once the work plan is finalized, the commissioners will convene working committees. Themes have been narrowed to:
• environmentalism,
• inclusiveness,
• and public outreach.
Proposed activities, related to the themes, include:
• a multicultural event,
• an environmental resource fair, and
• an intergenerational event.
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.
