2. Approve the minutes from the December 12, 2018 and January 9, 2019 meetings
of the Youth Advisory Committee
Vice Chair Cruz called for a motion to approve the minutes from the December
12, 2018 and January 9, 2019 regular meetings of the Youth Advisory
Committee. Randy Rangel motioned to approve the minutes, All Gleaves
seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously.
3. Discuss Spring Activities
1. Spring Service Project
The Committee discussed multiple options for the committee's spring
service project including the dog show, local charity walks and runs
and city events where volunteers are needed. The committee decided
that they would complete a service project of their own choosing and
submit the hours to Ms. James before the end of the year.
2. Project Proposal
The committee discussed two options for the 2019 project. The first
was to start a group similar to the Police Department's Unidos
program, but geared toward teens who are not from the United States
and may not speak fluent English. The group would learn about the
community and what services are offered by the city. One of the
benefits of this would be that the participants would be able to take the
information back to their parents and educate them as well.
The second project idea discussed was a rock painting project to
promote positivity throughout the community. Committee members
would paint their rocks with positive affirmations and place them
around the city for people to find. They would also make videos
documenting the experience that could then be shared on social
media.
The committee will make a decision on which project to choose at their
March meeting.
4. Adjournment
Vice Chair Cruz adjourned the meeting at 6:42 p.m.

Naia Garner, Chair
