Recommendation to receive and file a report from the Commission on Youth and Children (Commission); request City Attorney to draft a resolution repealing Resolution No. C-28279 for the dissolution of the current Commission; and request City Attorney to draft a new resolution creating a nine-member advisory Commission on Youth and Families.  (Citywide)
Thank you. And their last request tonight was to move up item 31 and then back to the regular agenda. Mr. Mayor, after accused myself twice on this commission. Item 31 is a report from Parks, Recreation and Marine. Recommendation two received five report from the Commission on Youth and Children. Request City Attorney to draft a resolution repealing resolution number Sea Dash 282794. The resolutions of the current commission and draft a new resolution creating a nine member Advisory Commission on Youth and Families Citywide. Thank you. Mr.. RUSSERT You have a short staff presentation on this. Basically, we had a 19 member committee commission, and now we have a nine member commission with two youth and seven adults. I think that the key thing is that these are recommendations coming from the commission themselves. So I believe that they've been working for many months on this and working very closely with Marie. Okay, great. Mr. Catherine Ashton. Thank you. Certainly. I'm happy to make the motion to support the recommendations from the Youth and Youth Commission. I think streamlining this plan makes a lot of sense, since it seems like they were having a tough time making quorum. I did have a question after reading this item for staff specifically regarding there are some bullets on the second page of the staff report that talks about the commission making efforts to promote current city initiatives that benefit youth and families. And it calls out the My Brother's Keeper program Building Healthy Communities and All Children Thrive. I know My Brother's Keeper program is a city program. Are we also just highlighting organizations or and I would just hate to send a message that we're limiting to certain organizations as well, because I know I was a couple of at least one one of the organizations reached out to me over the weekend and asked that they be included in this and they wanted to be stakeholders in the process for for youth activities. So, Councilmember Austin, that's a great question. Actually, the current commission, the way it is chartered, is very prescriptive as to what initiatives the Commission can work on. And so that was very limiting as as well as some of those initiatives are no longer here or in the city. So the ad hoc committee is suggesting and these are that's why the wording says such as it's meant to be inclusive and not limiting. So there are opportunities for other organizations in the community if they want to come forward. But remember that this is an advisory commission. So the commission won't really engage in activities with these, but they are there as an advisory body. So My Brother's Keeper is a city initiative and all children thrive as a city initiative through the Health Department. And Building Healthy Communities is a community engagement resource that we use. So these are just examples. But we want to leave it open ended so that the commission can look at other opportunities in the community. And thank you so much. And I guess my second question would be how do we streamline from 19 to 9? What is that, the mayor's decision making discretion? Or how do we. See the recommendation of the ad hoc committee? Is that all the current members of the commission that are in good standing, that means that they have met all their meeting requirements. They submitted the application process to the mayor's office for consideration on the commission. If there are more than the nine, which I guess seven adults and the two youth, and then there's a decision to be made and if there are less, then those other states can be filled through the normal process. Thank you very much. Thank you. Councilman Brice. I support this item. Thank you. Thank you. Any public comment on this item? CNN, please cast your votes. Lucian Case.
