Matters of COilisslon Interest -Commissioner Berone said the City Council mentioned the formation of a youth advisory council at the study session with the Commission earlier this month and she has gathered information regarding this subject. She said she contacted the cities of Foster City and San Mateo who have youth advisory councils in order to see how they operate. In each city, the youth advisory council is operated through the Park and Recreation Department and serves in an advisory capacity to the City Council. She said these youth advisory councils were general in nature and their purpose was to represent teen/youth issues to the City Council. The cities she spoke to said the youth advisory council is good for the students who are already interested in volunteering and student government, but it is not something lIat riskll students tend to join. Commissioner Berone asked if the Commission was interested in this matter, she would continue to research this issue. Commissioner Nordness suggested forming a committee to continue the research on a youth advisory council and volunteered to be on the committee. The Commissioners discussed speaking with Counciwoman LaBerge for some direction on this matter because she had expressed an interest at the study session. -Commissioner Berone inquired about the park assignments and asked that this subject be included on the March agenda. -Chairperson Davis requested that the implementation plans for the Commission's current objectives be included on the March agenda. -Director Griffiths suggested combining the public hearing and the March Commission meeting. The Commissioners decided to meet at 6:15pm on Tuesday, March 23 instead of 7:30pm Wednesday, March 24. The meeting will still be held on Room 5 of the Community Activities Building. The public hearing will begin at 7:30pm at a location to be determined.
