THIS IS, UM, PART OF OUR ONGOING COOPERATION WITH THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.

THEY'VE BEEN A GREAT PARTNER.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE ALL THE AMENITIES WE CAN POSSIBLY PROVIDE FOR THEM.

AND THIS IS JUST A, A PART OF THAT, THAT WE HAVE WORKED OUT WITH THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL THESE PRACTICES COME INTO THE CITY.

SO, OKAY.

YOU ALWAYS DO THINGS BUILD THAT'S ALL I CAN DO.

NO, THIS IS THE SMALLER PORTION OF IT.

YOU GOT MORE COMING.

BEN KEEPS WORKING ME OVER FOR MORE AND MORE ALL THE TIME.

SO, SO DOES THE MAYOR THAT SAYS WE NEED MORE IN CHINO HILLS, WHICH IS GREAT.

BUT THE FACT IS THAT CHINO HILLS IS THE ONE SEEDING THE PROJECTS.

THEY HAD THE VISION.

WE'RE HERE TO, TO PARTNER UP WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THESE AMENITIES COMING IN IN THE FUTURE.

SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.

THANK YOU COUNCIL FOR, UH, SETTING THAT VISION FOR THE RESIDENTS.

AND

[00:05:01]

WE'LL CONTINUE TO PARTNER UP WITH CHINO HILLS.

I GOT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.

WE HAVE TWO COMMISSIONERS HERE FROM THE PERKS AND WRECKS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT COMMISSION? OF COURSE, IT'S THE BEST ONE.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL STARTED HERE.

ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE INTRODUCTION OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, SHERIFF CORONER, SHANNON D DICUS.

THERE WE GO.

SO, YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN RAY AND I WERE ON IT, AND I'M SORRY, ARE, YOU KNOW, THE PLANNING COMMISSION IS THE BORING SIDE OF THINGS, EVEN THOUGH IT'S IMPORTANT.

UH, BUT UH, WE GOT TO BE ALL THE FUN PARTS OF THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.

WE GOT TO DO ALL THE, THE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE AND JONATHAN MARSHALL IS STILL THE SAME SIDE.

YOU CAN'T SIT THERE AND GROW OLDER AND GO SOMEPLACE ELSE.

YOU'RE STILL THERE DID THE SAME THING, YOU KNOW, SET THE STAGE FOR OUR RESIDENTS TO HAVE THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN THE BEST CITY IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY.

SO WE'RE HAPPY TO FINALLY GET SOME OF THESE THINGS GOING, INCLUDING THE SPLASH PAD THAT I WANTED LIKE 20 YEARS AGO, UM, THAT WE'LL GET THERE EVENTUALLY, RIGHT? JONATHAN, WOULD IT COST 300,000 BACK THEN? NOW HOW MUCH IS IT COSTING US A 301,000? THERE'S A LOT MORE THAN THAT, UNFORTUNATELY.

UH, BUT YOU KNOW, SINCE WE'RE A CITY WITH NO WATER, UM, FACILITIES HERE AND IT GETS SO WARM OCCASIONALLY DURING THE SUMMER THAT THIS IS WHEN THE PART OF THE THINGS, BUT THIS IS JUST A DOWN PAYMENT TO THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS.

SO THANK YOU, RAY.

AND WE'VE BEEN, WE'VE BEEN LONG TIME PARTNERS ON THIS.

THIS HAS BEEN YOUR VISION TOO.

AND THE REST OF THE COUNCIL, IT'S JUST HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO DO IT NOW.

[00:15:11]

WE'RE LOOKING FOR THAT TYPE OF MONEY TOO THOUGH.

NO, YOU'RE PART OF THE CHAMBER TOO.

I AM, I AM A BOARD DIRECTOR ON THAT ALSO.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS RONNIE GEIER BEFORE YOU START RUNNING, I JUST WANT TO SHARE A FEW THINGS.

UH, WE GO TO THE SAME CHURCH TO CHINO VALLEY COMMUNITY CHURCH, AND HE SITS IN FRONT OF ME AND HE JUST ENJOYS THE MUSIC.

YOU JUST, I MEAN, YOU TOUCHED MY HEART, SO I WISH I COULD PLAY SOME MUSIC RIGHT NOW SO I COULD SHARE WHAT YOU DO.

SO YES.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE ELVIS MOVIE IT LASTS FOR ABOUT A WEEK, MAN, AND JUST KEEP GOING.

GREAT.

THANK YOU VERY, UH, AN HONOR, UH, MAYOR, UH, AND UH, STAFF, UH, OTHER, UH, MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND SPECIAL DIGNITARIES THAT ARE HERE TODAY, NO MATTER WHAT THEIR AGE IS VERY MUCH A COUPLE OF, UM, CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS THAT GO, I THINK THREE OR FOUR, I MENTIONED HOW A LOOK-SEE IN, UH, AND BEING AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE, IN THE, UH, IN EASTERN EUROPE IS SOMETHING TO CONTINUE PAYING ATTENTION TO WHY? WELL, BECAUSE IT MAY AFFECT US IN EVEN WORSE WAYS THAN WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT NOW.

AND I INDICATED THAT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR THE CITY TO POSSIBLY LOOK INTO.

AND YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE, UH, INTO PREPARING FOR THE WORST AND MAYBE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER, UH, MAY BE VERY QUICKLY HAPPENING.

WE HAVE NO IDEA.

AND THAT MEANT SOME KIND OF PROGRAM IN WHICH PEOPLE WOULD KNOW ABOUT IN ADVANCE TO BE PREPARED, UH, TO, UH, FOR INFORMATION AFTER A NUCLEAR ATTACK, DOES IN FACT HAPPEN EITHER HERE OR NEAR US AND THAT NEW YORK CITY AGREES BECAUSE THEY JUST MONDAY PUBLISHED THEIR PROGRAM THAT GOES INTO EFFECT IT'S ALREADY IN EFFECT.

NOW IT IS A SITUATION WHERE THEY HAVE PUT UP AND I PUT IT ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE AND IT'S RONNIE GEIER G Y E R.

AND I PUT UP SEVERAL THINGS, OTHER, UH, THAT, THAT, UH, THAT BUTTRESS WHAT'S HAPPENING, UH, TO HAVE US WONDER AND PONDER WHY A NUCLEAR DEVICE AND WHY, WHY WE'RE AT RISK.

AND THAT'S GOOD TO READ TOO, BUT I'D LIKE TO READ JUST REAL QUICK, THE FACE OF, UH, OF THEIR, UM, OF THE PROGRAM THAT NEW YORK CITY HAS.

UM, AND I'VE PREFACED IT BY SAYING, DID I JUST IN CASE BE PREPARED, NEW YORK CITY IS WHAT TO DO RIGHT AFTER A NUCLEAR ATTACK IN YOUR CITY OR NEARBY.

AND WHY NUMBER ONE, AFTER THE ATTACK, GET INSIDE FAST TO GET IN, UH, INTO A BUILDING.

IF YOU ARE IN A CAR, GET OUT OF IT AND GET INTO A BUILDING.

THIS IS VERBATIM FROM WHAT THE NEW YORK CITY HAS PUT OUT, MOVE AWAY FROM WINDOWS, UM, CLOSE WINDOWS, CLOSED DOORS, STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILDING THAT YOU'RE IN, BUT BE SURE AND GET OUT OF YOUR CAR AND GET INTO A BUILDING.

THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD CATCH FIRE RIGHT AWAY, SHUT DOORS AND WINDOWS GO TO THE MIDDLE OF THE BUILDING, GET CLEAN IMMEDIATELY, MEANING REMOVE CLOTHING AND SHOWER WITH SOAP OR SHAMPOO, MEANING ANTI RADIATION, YOU GET YOUR, YOU GET THE RADIOACTIVE DUST, ET CETERA, OFF YOU STAY TUNED.

THEY HAVE S LENS THREE, STAY TUNED BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SERVICE THAT YOU SIGN UP FOR AN ADVANCE THAT WILL KEEP YOU ADVISED ON WHAT TO DO NEXT DAY INSIDE.

DON'T GO OUTSIDE UNTIL RELEASED.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR LETTING ME GO, HEY, THANKS, RONNIE.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS ZEB WELBORN.

SO NOW THE MONEY MAN, MAN'S COMING DOWN, RIGHT? YOU MEAN? NO, UH, GOOD EVENING CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR.

UH, FIRST OFF I WANTED TO START MY ANNOUNCEMENTS BY INTRODUCING ONE OF OUR NEWEST MEMBERS.

THIS IS JULIA CABRERA.

SHE IS OUR NEW COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SPECIALIST.

UH, SO SHE WILL BE COMING TO SOME OF OUR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS IN THE FUTURE.

SO I WANNA MAKE SURE I INTRODUCE HER AS WELL AND GIVE HER A CHANCE TO INTRODUCE HERSELF.

SO JULIA, I THINK HE PRETTY MUCH SAID IT ALL, BUT BASICALLY I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE TO HELP THE CHINO VALLEY CHAMBER STRENGTHEN THEIR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITY JUST TO MEET YOU.

PERFECT.

THIS IS ABOUT THE TARGET.

AND I HAD SOME OTHER THINGS TO TALK ABOUT, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU HAD BROUGHT THAT UP, BUT I SAW THIS TO FOCUS ON THAT.

UH, DID YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTION REGARDING OUR FUNDING?

[00:25:01]

UH, SO, SO, SO, SO YOU HAD ASKED JEFF WHAT OUR FUNDING WAS ABOUT AND IT WAS, UH, SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE, WE DID PRESENT TO THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS AND IT'S SOMETHING WE PRESENTED TO.

A LOT OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS ARE NOT JUST ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUT ALSO OUR BUSINESSES.

AND SO IT'S, IT'S SOMETHING THAT, UH, FOR A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND IS, IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I GOT PICKED UP FOR RECENTLY WAS BY THE U S CHAMBER, PUT ME INTO THIS, UH, PROGRAM ON, UH, THESE WORKFORCE ISSUES.

AND SO BASICALLY WE WERE TACKLING WORKFORCE CHALLENGES BEFORE.

AND SO THERE'S A COHORT OF ABOUT 30 OF US CHAMBER PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND THEN THE REASON WHY THEY BROUGHT US TOGETHER IS BECAUSE WORKFORCE IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THAT'S GOING TO BE FACING COMMUNITIES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

UH, COVID REALLY EXACERBATED THAT.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE, UH, THE, LET'S SAY THERE'S A BIG POPULATION, BOOM, WITH BOOMERS.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF BOOMERS THAT ARE RETIRING AND LEAVING THE WORKFORCE EARLY BECAUSE OF COVID.

UH, YOU HAVE A LOT OF MOMS THAT HAD TO LEAVE EARLY, B HAD TO LEAVE TO TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN.

UH, YOU HAD A LOT OF ILL-INFORMED, UH, LEGISLATION, WHICH WAS KIND OF EXACERBATED THAT.

AND SO I'M SURE WE'VE ALL SEEN THE HELP, WANTED SIGNS AROUND TOWN AND DOING ALL THOSE THINGS.

SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT OUR CHAMBER IS TRYING TO DO IS AS WE'RE TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE, AND WE'RE TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE IN SOLVING THOSE WORKFORCE CHALLENGES, BY CREATING A VIRUS, A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS, SUCH AS ENTREPRENEURSHIP, SUCH AS BRINGING BUSINESSES TOGETHER, SUCH AS A LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, UH, SUCH AS SUCH AS, UH, AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT STUFF.

SO WE'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF JOB FAIRS.

WE'VE BEEN GETTING PEOPLE, JOBS, PLACING THEM IN OPPORTUNITIES.

UH, SO, SO TH THAT WAS KIND OF RECOGNIZED BY SOME OF OUR, OUR LOCAL ELECTED.

SO WHAT YOU SAW IN THE PAPER THIS LAST WEEKEND WAS A STATE SENATOR CONNIE LEYVA, STATE ASSEMBLY MEMBER, FREDDY RODRIGUEZ, AND A COUNTY SUPERVISOR, KURT HAGMAN TOGETHER, UH, CONTRIBUTED ABOUT $2.1 MILLION TO THOSE EFFORTS THAT WE'RE DOING THAT WE'VE KIND OF SPOKEN HERE BEFORE ABOUT.

UH, SO THAT'S WHERE THE THAT'S WHERE THE FUNDING WAS COMING FROM.

WE ARE VERY EXCITED BECAUSE IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT.

AND THEN OUR TEAM IS EXCITED TO HELP BUSINESSES.

I THINK WE'VE ALL BEEN TO RESTAURANTS WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S HALF EMPTY AND THEY SAY THERE'S A HALF AN HOUR WAIT, BUT IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE WORKFORCE TO FILL THOSE FOLKS.

AND IT'S NOT JUST RESTAURANTS, IT'S EVERY BUSINESS ACROSS THE COUNTY.

UH, AND EVEN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S MOST SHOCKING TO ME IS LIKE OUR, EVEN OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE HAVING A TOUGH TIME FINDING FOLKS.

UH, AND THESE ARE FOLKS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN I GREW UP, THAT WAS LIKE THE THING THAT PEOPLE WANTED TO BE.

AND THE FACT THAT THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO FIND PEOPLE SHOULD BE AN INDICATION THAT THIS IS GOING TO BE A ISSUE THAT WILL BE FACING OUR COMMUNITIES FOR AWHILE.

SO THAT WAS MY, UH, COMMENTS.

THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU.

UM, I KNOW THAT YOU REACH OUT TO THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND I WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR THAT.

I KNOW RECENTLY YOU INVITED ME TO SIT IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF BUSINESS PEOPLE.

UM, HOPEFULLY I DIDN'T EMBARRASS YOU, BUT IT WAS FUNNY.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THAT.

AND TO YOUR POINT, THAT'S PART OF OUR UPSCALE CHINO VALLEY PROGRAM.

WE'RE ORGANIZING THESE ROUND TABLE DISCUSSIONS.

WE HAD THIS ONE THIS MORNING ON AB 2 57, WHICH IS ABOUT LET'S SAY, BUT THE LAST ONE WAS, UH, WITH MARY MARK, HAS IT JUST GIVES OUR BUSINESSES A CHANCE TO VOICE CONCERNS AND ISSUES THEY'RE HAVING.

AND THEN RAY, I WANT TO COMMEND YOU AND SAY, THANK YOU FOR WORKING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF OUR BUSINESSES.

SO WE'RE WORKING ON BRINGING TOGETHER BUSINESSES THAT HAD SOME ISSUES WITH PERMITTING WHEN THEY WERE GETTING STARTED AND TRYING TO JUST STREAMLINE THAT PROCESS A LITTLE BIT SO THAT IT'S MORE WELCOMING AND FRIENDLY.

AND SO THAT OUR BUSINESSES FEEL COMFORTABLE RECOMMENDING CHINO HILLS FOR MORE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES MOVING FORWARD.

WE'LL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, SIR.

THANK YOU, RAY.

THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH.

THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO INTERACT WITH RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES, WE WILL SORT THIS OUT TO INFORM RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES REGARDING THE SERVICES, THE SERVICE AND PROGRAMS THAT COME WITH THIS NEW CONTRACT.

ALL OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS GLENDA CHAVEZ, GLENDA.

HI, I'M A LITTLE BIT SHORTER.

SO JUST, YOU KNOW, WITH HEELS ON, UM, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MARQUEZ MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, CITY STAFF MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE AND AT HOME, I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATE ON WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICE TRANSITION ON JULY 1ST, WE OFFICIALLY BECAME THE CITY OF CHINO HILLS HOLLER.

THE DAY WE ALL HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR FINALLY ARRIVED.

I AM HAPPY TO REPORT THAT OUR SERVICE TO INCISION IS GOING WELL.

YOUR NEW WM TRUCKS CAN BE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

LET ME START WITH RESIDENTIAL.

AS OUR DRIVERS CONTINUE TO FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE ROUTES WE HAVE PROACTIVELY PLANNED AND ASSIGNED AN EXTRA TRUCK AND DRIVER TO COVER ANY DELAYS IN SERVICE.

THIS RESULTED IN OUR FIRST WEEK ONLY HAVING 16 MS. PICKUPS, WHICH WERE RECOVERED ON THE COMMERCIAL SIDE.

WE ALLOCATE EXTRA HELP FOR ENCLOSURE CLEANUP AND PROVIDED EXTRA COLLECTION SERVICE.

THIS MINIMIZE ANY COMPLAINTS FROM COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS, NOT RECEIVING THE NECESSARY SERVICE DURING THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

WELL, WE HAD A GREAT START.

IT IS FAIR THAT IT IS FAIR THAT I MENTIONED THAT SOME OF OUR CHALLENGES, WHICH WE HAVE, UM, WHICH HAVE PRIMARILY TO DO WITH THE QUALITY OF DATA CUSTOMER DATA WE RECEIVED FROM THE FORMER HOLLER.

WE ARE CONFIDENT

[00:30:01]

WE PARTNERED WITH THE CITY AND HOW TO RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS AND TO BUSINESS HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS.

IN THE LAST WEEK, WE, UM, TO BE PRESENT IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE MANAGED, UM, THE HELP DESK AT CITY HALL FROM TUESDAY TO FRIDAY TO RESPOND TO ANY CUSTOMER CONCERNS.

YOU ALSO HOSTED AN INFORMATIONAL BOOTH AT THE JUNE 29TH CONCERTS IN THE PARK.

OUR PLAN IS TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A PRESENCE IN THE COMMUNITY, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ATTEND THE REMAINDER OF CONCERTS IN THE PARK TO ANSWER CUSTOMER'S QUESTIONS.

A THIRD RESIDENTIAL WORKSHOP HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR AUGUST 1ST, AND WE WILL CONTINUE AND WE WILL BE PLANNING THE WORKSHOP FOR THE QUESTION IN COMMUNITY.

ADDITIONALLY, WE WILL ALSO BE PARTICIPATED IN THE AUGUST 2ND NATIONAL NIGHT OUT, UM, AS YOU KNOW, OUR CARD EXCHANGE STARTED THIS WEEK AND WE WILL CONTINUE FOR THE, UH, FOR NINE WEEKS.

WE ENCOURAGE RESIDENTS TO VISIT OUR CITY OR YOUR W OUR LO OUR LOCAL WM WEBSITE TO IDENTIFY WHEN THERE ARE SCHEDULED TO HAVE THEIR CARD EXCHANGE.

WE HAVE DAILY CALLS WITH BOTH COMPANIES AND OBTAIN UPDATES AND RESPOND TO ANY CUSTOMER ISSUES AS CUSTOMERS, UH, SUCH AS CUSTOMERS NOT PUTTING THEIR CARTS OUT.

ALTHOUGH THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND DAY IT IS GOING WELL.

I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE A MORE DETAILED UPDATE, UM, UPDATE TO YOU AT YOUR NEXT COUNCIL MEETING, BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU THAT WE WILL PROACTIVELY ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS THAT ARISE.

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS.

I VOTED NO ON THE PAY INCREASE EVERY TIME.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I'M LOOKING AT THE WRONG ONE AGAIN.

I'M SORRY, BRIAN.

I LOOKED AT EIGHT.

I'M LIKE I STAND CORRECTED.

NO, BECAUSE ONLINE IT'S DIFFERENT.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW.

THAT'S FINE.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE, UM, THE ARPA MONEY, WHICH I'M GLAD WHAT YOU, THEY WERE.

DISCUSSION CALENDAR ITEM NUMBER 16, PROVIDE DIRECTION FOR POTENTIAL FORMATION OF A TEEN ADVISORY BOARD.

COOL.

[16. Provide direction for potential formation of Teen Advisory Board]

OUR VERY OWN DIRECTOR, MR. MARSHALL, I BELIEVE IS PRESENTED.

WELL, THANK YOU MAYOR.

AND MY TRUSTY ASSISTANT, MELISSA MARMOT, WE'LL BE PUSHING SOME BUTTONS FOR ME INITIALLY.

AND THEN SHE'LL BE PICKING UP THE PRESENTATION.

AFTER A COUNCIL MEMBER, ROGERS HAD ASKED ME TO GIVE A DETAILED REPORT OF EVERY MONTH, SINCE THE INCEPTION OF US DOING TEEN ACTIVITIES.

AND THAT DATES BACK TO 1994.

SO THAT WAS GOING TO BE 336 SLIDES.

BUT SINCE HE'S NOT HERE, WE'RE ONLY GOING TO DO EIGHT.

IS THAT ALL RIGHT? MARE.

ALL RIGHT.

VERY GOOD.

SO HERE WE GO.

FIRST UP, UH, THREE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO COVER THIS EVENING IS, IS NUMBER ONE, WHICH WILL BE MYSELF CITY HISTORY OF TEEN PROGRAMMING AND ENGAGEMENT.

UH, NUMBER TWO WILL BE SURVEY OF LOCAL TEEN ADVISORY BOARDS COMMITTEES THAT WILL BE MELISSA.

AND THEN ALSO FINDINGS FROM RECENT

[00:35:02]

MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH SOME OF OUR WONDERFUL YOUTH IN.

AND I CAN SEE OUR EX-OFFICIO STUDENT MEMBERS HERE, AND SHE WAS INVOLVED WITH ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS THAT WE HAD.

SO, UM, KIND OF GIVEN AN OVERVIEW OF EVERYTHING AND THEN HAVING SOME DIALOGUE AT THE END, OF COURSE, FROM THAT STANDPOINT, FROM A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE CITY'S SUMMER VOLUNTEER PROGRAM HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE THE SUMMER OF 1994.

AND I CAN HAPPILY SAY THAT IT'S STILL GOING STRONG TODAY.

UH, THE PROGRAM OFFERS 50 OR SO TEENS EVERY SUMMER, THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK, TO GAIN WORK EXPERIENCE AT VARIOUS RECREATION PROGRAM SITES, AQUATIC SUMMER DAY CAMP, AND ALSO OUR PV SPORTS PROGRAMS AND ALSO SPECIAL EVENTS.

THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN A NICE TRAINING GROUND, FRANKLY, AS MANY VOLUNTEERS HAVE BECOME PAID RECREATION STAFF THROUGH THE YEAR.

SO, UM, GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE WHAT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT.

AND THEN OF COURSE, WHEN THEY APPLY FOR A POSITION, THEN IT MAKES IT EASIER TO HIRE THEM.

IN 1996, A PORTABLE BUILDING WAS RELOCATED ON THE CANYON HILLS JUNIOR HIGH SITE.

THIS BUILDING WAS KNOWN AS THE CANYON RIDGE COMMUNITY BUILDING ALSO KNOWN BY TEENS AS THE CAVE.

IT WAS AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS THE CAVE STARTED AS A FREE DROP-IN PROGRAM FOR TEENS WHERE THEY COULD DO HOMEWORK, PLAY GAMES AND OTHER ACTIVITIES AFTER APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS IN ORDER TO RECUPERATE COSTS, THE CITY CHARGED A NOMINAL FEE FOR ENTRY.

HOWEVER, THAT DIDN'T GO VERY WELL.

AND OVER TIME, OTHER PROGRAMS HELD THERE HAD TO BE CANCELED DUE TO LOW ENROLLMENT AS WELL.

AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS, THE SITE CLOSED RETURNING IT BACK TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AS THERE, IT WAS ACTUALLY A PORTABLE BUILDING THAT WAS ON THE CANYON HILLS SITE ORIGINALLY FROM 2001 THROUGH 2007.

WE, AGAIN, LOOK TO ENGAGE THE TEENS BY STARTING WHAT IS BEING DISCUSSED THIS EVENING, THE BEGINNING OF A TEEN ADVISORY GROUP, THE ORIGINAL GROUP DURING THAT TIME WAS CALLED CHAT OR CHINO HILLS ACTIVITY, TEENS THROUGH A PROCESS, A STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE FROM EACH HIGH SCHOOL GRADE AND EACH JUNIOR HIGH GRADE WAS CHOSEN TO BE PART OF CHAT.

THE GROUP THAT MADE UP CHAT MET FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX YEARS OF TIME, SEVERAL PROGRAMS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WERE BORN FROM THE TEENS THOUGHTS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE GROUP DISBANDED DUE TO LACK OF INTEREST FINALLY, WITH THE OPENING OF THE CHINO HILLS COMMUNITY CENTER IN 2014, UNTIL THE PRESENT DAY TIME WE HAVE MADE AVAILABLE TIME IN THE FACILITY FOR TEENS, FOR THE MOST PART DUE TO LOCATION AND ATTENDEES, THE ATTENDEES ARE FROM A YELLOW HIGH SCHOOL, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, BUT MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, FROM TWO 30 TO FOUR, YOU CAN SEE LOTS OF TEENS THERE APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 40 ON A DAILY BASIS.

AND LIKE THE CAVE BACK IN THE DAY, ALLOWANCE FOR HOMEWORK, SOCIAL GATHERING GAMES AND BILLIARDS TAKES PLACE THAT'S THERE.

AND MELISSA OF COURSE RUNS THE SHOW OVER AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

SO SHE SEES A LOTS OF TEENS ON A DAILY BASIS AT THAT PARTICULAR FACILITY.

SO NOW LET'S TURN IT OVER TO MELISSA FOR THE MEAT OF THE PRESENTATION I HAD THE LIGHTWEIGHT STUFF TO DO.

SO WILL THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS SHE'LL TALK ABOUT RIGHT NOW, MELISSA, THANK YOU, DIRECTOR MARSHALL, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR MARQUEZ AND COUNCIL, AS JONATHAN MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, PART OF OUR PROCESS WHEN WE LIKE TO COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL IS TO DO A SURVEY OF OUR SURROUNDING CITIES AS WE ALWAYS DO WHEN WE EMBARKED IN POTENTIALLY NEW PROGRAMS OR AVERAGE DEVELOPMENT OF THINGS.

AND SO WE, WE DID THE SAME THING HERE.

UM, WE SURVEYED SIX SURROUNDING CITIES, BRIA, CHINO, CLAREMONT, AND DIAMOND BARBARA, AND SHE PUT THEM ON GUT AND YOUR BELINDA, UM, THIS EVENING, I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE THE FULL KIND OF CHART ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA, BUT THIS EVENING I KIND OF BROKE IT DOWN INTO TWO COMPONENTS.

ONE, THIS FIRST CHART THAT YOU'RE SEEING IS REALLY MORE OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE COUNCIL TO FOCUS ON THIS EVENING AND GIVING DIRECTION TO STAFF THIS EVENING ON, ON WHERE WE SHOULD GO.

AS YOU CAN TELL, UM, YOU KNOW, EACH, EACH CITY HAS A DIFFERENT KIND OF NAME THAT THEY CALL THEIR ADVISORY OR BOARDS.

THEY'RE REALLY GOOD FOR ACRONYMS. THEY TEND IN THE TEEN WORLD SEEM TO LIKE THAT.

BUT YOU KNOW, THE REAL FOCUS IS THERE'S REALLY THREE TYPES OF GROUPS.

THERE'S AN INFORMAL, A SEMIFORMAL AND FORMAL, AND THAT'S WHAT I KIND OF WANTED TO BRING TO YOUR GUYS'S ATTENTION.

WHEN I TALK ABOUT INFORMAL, YOU CAN SEE BY THESE SIX CITIES THAT WE SURVEY, TWO OF THEM, UH, WE CONSIDER INFORMAL.

THOSE ARE GROUPS.

UM, SO IT'S THE DIAMOND BAR IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

THEY'RE REALLY MORE OF, UH, LIKE I SAID, INFORMAL, THEY HAVE MEMBERS THAT JOIN WITH IT, BUT IT'S OPEN FOR A LOT OF THEM.

THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE A HUGE MAX OR THEY DON'T HAVE A MAX ON THEIR AMOUNT OF PARTICIPANTS THAT THEY TAKE IN RANCHO CUCAMONGA.

FOR INSTANCE, THERE'S THIS MORE ALONG THE LINES OF A PROJECT-BASED MONTHLY KIND OF PROGRAM DIAMOND BAR, YOU KNOW, THEY FOCUS A LOT ON THE VOLUNTEER SIDE OF THINGS.

AND SO I WOULD SAY LOOKING BACK AT OUR HISTORY WHEN JONATHAN TALKS ABOUT THE CHINO HILLS ACTIVITY TEENS, I WOULD PUT THAT MORE IN A VERY INFORMAL KIND OF GROUP SETTING THAT WE HAD.

AND THE NEXT IS THERE'S THREE CITIES

[00:40:01]

THAT ARE SEMIFORMAL, WHICH MEANS THEIR ADVISORY, THAT'S BRIA, CHINO, AND YOUR BELINDA.

AND THEY'RE MORE OF, LIKE I SAID, ADVISORY, THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY COUNSELOR COMMISSION ON THAT.

SIT ON THESE COMMITTEES THEMSELVES.

UM, YOU KNOW, TALKING WITH A LOT OF THESE CITIES, YOU KNOW, I THINK CHALLENGE AND RECREATION IN, IN WHAT I DO IS ALWAYS TRYING TO PROVIDE PROGRAMMING TO EACH TYPE OF AGE DEMOGRAPHICS IN OUR TEENS, WE KNOW IS ALWAYS SUCH A CHALLENGING ONE.

AND SOMETIMES WHEN WE KIND OF SET THAT FORMAL PRESENTATION FOR THEM, IT SCARES THEM OFF TO A POINT.

UM, AND SO I THINK THOSE THREE THAT YOU SEE, THAT'S WHAT WE CONSIDER MORE OF A SEMIFORMAL.

THEY FOLLOW AN AGENDA, THEY, YOU KNOW, TEACH THE TEAMS HOW A PROCESS OF A MEETING IS CONDUCTED, BUT THEY REALLY HAVE IT MORE ON A STAFF LED BASIS, ALLOWING THE TEAMS TO REALLY BE THE FOCUS OF THE COMMITTEE AND INTERACT WITH OTHER TEAMS IN THE COMMUNITY AND SHARE BACK TO, UM, STAFF AND, AND TO A LEVEL, A LOT OF THESE WILL REPORT BACK TO A PARK AND REC COMMISSION OR A COUNCIL DEPENDING ON HOW THE CITY IS STRUCTURED.

UM, AND THAT'S REALLY KEY TOO, IS, UM, ALL OF THESE CITIES AND, AND HOW THEY'RE STRUCTURED.

UM, YOU KNOW, JONATHAN AND I WERE TALKING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE A FAIRLY NEW CITY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE A LITTLE OVER 30 YEARS OLD.

SOME OF THESE CITIES THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT WE SURVEY THEY'RE A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.

AND SO THEY'VE HAD A LOT MORE HISTORY AND A LOT MORE TIME TO DEVELOP THEMSELVES AND CREATE SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS. AND THEN A PRIME EXAMPLE OF ONE THAT'S OUR OLDER OLDEST CITY ON THIS LIST IS CLAREMONT.

AND SO THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THEIR COMMITTEE.

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A FORMAL COMMITTEE THAT FOLLOWS THE BROWN ACT GUIDELINES.

SO THEY DO HAVE A COMMISSION FROM THEIR HUMAN SERVICES COMMISSION, AS WELL AS THEY INVITE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO ATTEND ON THIS MEETING AS WELL.

AND SO, BECAUSE OF THAT, BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO DO THAT, THAT'S WHY WE'RE PUTTING THEM IN THE NORMAL FORMAL CATEGORY.

AND SO THIS EVENING, WHY I CONTINUE ON WITH THE PRESENTATION, THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS FOR THE GUIDANCE, THIS NEXT SLIDE THAT PROVIDES YOU WITH THE SURVEY INFORMATION.

THIS IS WHAT WE KIND OF CONSIDER MORE OF THE WORKING COMPONENTS.

AND I DON'T WANT TO FOCUS TOO MUCH ON THIS THIS EVENING.

I WOULD DEFINITELY LOVE TO HEAR COMMENTS BACK FROM COUNCIL, BUT I THINK PART OF THIS IN OUR PROCESS OF RESEARCHING WITH OTHER CITIES IS ALSO WANTING TO CONTINUE TO GATHER INFORMATION FROM OUR RESIDENTS AND FIND WHAT'S THE BEST FIT FOR US.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, GOING INTO THE DETAILS OF WHAT AGE GROUPS WE WANT AND HOW MANY NUMBERS OF MEMBERS WE WANT ON THESE COMMITTEES, YOU KNOW, THE PROGRAM DATES AND FREQUENCIES.

I THINK THAT COMES WITH TIME AS WE DEVELOP THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES THAT GO INTO PLACE FOR THIS.

UM, BUT I DO THINK IT IS A REALLY GOOD FRAMEWORK FOR THE COUNCIL TO SEE A LOT OF THEM DO OFFER IT FROM AGES, FROM GRADE SEVEN TO 12TH GRADE, YOU KNOW, TALKING TO MANY OF THESE CITIES.

IT IS A CHALLENGE, YOU KNOW, CHINO, FOR EXAMPLE, THEY MADE A COMMENT WHILE IT'S OPEN TO ALL THOSE GRADES.

THEY DO HAVE CHALLENGES YEAR TO YEAR OR A COUPLE OF YEARS, DEPENDING ON THE GROUP OF KIDS THAT ARE THERE, DO THEY ALWAYS HAVE A SEVENTH GRADER AND A 12TH GRADER AND, YOU KNOW, EVERY GRADE LEVEL APPOINTED ONTO THERE'S? NO, THEY DON'T.

THEY HAVE CHALLENGES EVERY YEAR.

AND I KNOW WE FACE THAT AS WELL IN THE FUTURE.

IN THE PAST, WE HAD GONE DOWN MORE OF AN INFORMAL PROCESS.

AND SO THIS IS MORE OF JUST KIND OF A HIGHLIGHT, I THINK, KEY COMPONENTS KNOWING YES, YOU KNOW, PROGRAM DATES, MOST OF THEM GO YEAR DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, WHICH I THINK IS APPROPRIATE.

SAME ALONG THE LINES OF HOW WE APPOINT OUR STUDENT MEMBER, RIGHT.

IT'S DURING THAT CALENDAR SCHOOL YEAR FREQUENCIES IS PRETTY MUCH MONTHLY.

THERE ARE SOME THAT DO TAKE SOME HIATUSES DURING THE SUMMER PERIOD OF TIME OR DURING HOLIDAYS.

UM, CLAREMONT FOR EXAMPLE, IS ONE OF THOSE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY KNOW NO ONE'S GOING TO COME AND MEET IN DECEMBER AND THEY'RE ALL IN HIATUS DURING THE SUMMER PERIOD OF TIME.

UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF JUST A SCREENSHOT FOR YOU OF WHAT OTHER SURROUNDING CITIES ARE KIND OF DOING WITH THEIR TYPE OF COMMITTEES.

AND THEN LASTLY, AS JONATHAN MENTIONED, WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU KIND OF A RECAP OF OUR RECENT ENGAGEMENT WE'VE HAD WITH THE TEAMS. WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY.

I KNOW THE MAYOR HIMSELF HAS MET WITH OUR STUDENT MEMBERS THAT ARE SITTING OUT HERE THAT HAD GONE THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS, CHAIRMAN HOLT CAMP AND COMMISSIONER JACKSON FROM THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION, UM, HAD ALSO HAD SOME MEETINGS PRIOR TO THEM.

BUT THIS LAST MONTH WE DID SET UP A MEETING WITH BOTH OF THE COMMISSIONERS, AS WELL AS OUR STUDENT MEMBER, NICOLE TORRES, AND A FEW OF THESE APPLICANTS THAT HAD GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS TO ENGAGE THEM AND FIND OUT WHAT DETAILS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE REALLY WANTING, CAUSE THAT'S WHERE WE WANT TO START AND GET FROM THEM.

AND I THINK YOU'LL SEE THIS INFORMATION WE PROVIDED YOU TONIGHT IS SOMETHING I THINK THAT IS VERY ATTAINABLE.

IF THE COUNCIL CHOOSES TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE TEEN ADVISORY BOARD, OBVIOUSLY THE NUMBER ONE, THAT'S THE REASON WHY WE'RE HERE THANKS TO THEM AND PARTIALLY TO THE MAYOR AND THE CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE BEGAN BEFORE COMING HERE TONIGHT, UM, IS, UH, CITY FORMING A TEEN ADVISORY BOARD.

YOU KNOW, THEY HAD POINTED OUT THAT THEY'RE WANTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CIVIC ENGAGEMENT FROM THE LEVEL OF SITTING HERE AT A COUNCIL MEETING TO CITY STAFF ON A DAILY BASIS AND HOW OUR BUDGET WORKS.

AND I THINK THERE'S DEFINITELY WORKSHOPS AND THINGS THAT CAN BE BROUGHT INTO TO THAT.

AND THEN CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOL.

THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, IT GOES AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW,

[00:45:01]

SOME FINANCIAL CLASSES, EDUCATION ON EMPLOYMENT, HOW TO GET A JOB, UM, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THEY WOULD LIKE TO KIND OF SEE SOME OF THOSE TYPES OF WORKSHOPS, UM, BROUGHT FORWARD WITH THE CITY.

UM, AND THEN LASTLY, WHICH IS ONE THAT IS VERY UNIQUE TOO.

UM, BUT ALSO SOMETHING THAT WE'VE SEE FROM THE CITY STAFF SIDE OF THINGS IS A VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.

UM, AS JONATHAN MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE A VOLUNTEER PROGRAM THAT'S PRIMARILY DURING THE SUMMER PERIOD ONLY, UM, A LOT OF THOSE CITIES THAT DO, I DID SURVEYS ON, UM, AND PROVIDED YOU A LOT OF THEM DO HAVE A YEAR LONG, A YEAR ROUND PROGRAM.

AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT THESE TEAMS HAD MENTIONED TO US IS SAYING, YOU KNOW, FOR MY COLLEGE APPLICATION OR FOR A WHILE, I'M DOING THIS CLASS, I NEED SOME VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AND Y WE'LL HAVE MINIMAL THINGS WHERE YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR OUR NORMAL VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AND WE DON'T HAVE A ROBUST LIKE YEAR ROUND PROGRAM.

AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, IF THE COUNCIL CHOOSES TO GO DOWN THIS PATH OF A TEEN ADVISORY BOARD, THAT IS ANOTHER KIND OF COMPONENT THAT MAY COME OUT OF THIS THAT WOULD HELP GAUGE AND HAVE THAT TYPE OF PROGRAM THAT EXISTS.

UM, I KNOW SOME OF THEM ARE HERE TONIGHT AND WE'LL PROBABLY MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, BUT BRIEFLY THOSE ARE THE MAIN THINGS THAT THEY KIND OF SUGGESTED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE, UM, FOR SOME TEEN PROGRAMMING AND FOR OUR ADVISORY.

AND SO BEFORE I TURN IT BACK OVER TO COUNCIL FOR DISCUSSION, I KIND OF JUST WANTED TO RECAP BRIEFLY WHAT CITY STAFF IS LOOKING FOR THIS EVENING FROM COUNCIL.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE DIRECTION OF THE FORMATION OF A TEEN ADVISORY BOARD, UM, IF FORMED WHAT TYPE OF ADVISORY.

SO, AS I MENTIONED, UM, THAT GROUP ADVISORY OR COMMITTEE, UM, REALLY, YOU KNOW, STAFF HAD KIND OF HAD A FORMAL DISCUSSION BEFORE THIS MEETING AND, AND REALLY LOOKED AT ALL OF THESE THREE.

AND, UM, STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE FEEL LIKE A TEEN ADVISORY BOARD, UM, WITH SUPPORT, UH, BY CITY STAFF ONLY, WHICH FALLS MORE IN THAT ADVISORY.

YOU KNOW, THOSE OTHER CITIES THAT HAVE THE THREE, UM, THAT HAVE THAT, THAT IS PROBABLY MORE ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE HAVE MECHANISMS IN PLACE, UM, THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO STILL HAVE THAT FORMALITY.

UM, PRIME EXAMPLE IS WE HAVE A STUDENT MEMBER THAT'S APPOINTED YEARLY TO THE PARK AND REC COMMISSION AND THEY COULD SERVE AS A GREAT LIAISON, UM, AN ADVISORY TO THE PARK AND REC ON A MONTHLY BASIS OF WHAT'S HAPPENING.

UM, AND SO THAT'S WHERE STAFF KIND OF SITS ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

OBVIOUSLY WE'RE OPEN FOR DISCUSSION WITH ANYTHING ELSE THE COUNCIL MAY HAVE.

UM, AND THEN LASTLY, I JUST WANTED TO BRIEFLY TOUCH BASE THAT IF COUNCIL SUPPORT THE FORMATION OF A TEEN ADVISORY GROUP, WHAT OUR ACTION PLAN WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THAT THIS PROCESS CAN BE TIMELY SOMETIMES, AND WE DON'T WANT TO DRAG THIS OUT, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE, AS JONATHAN MENTIONED IN OUR HISTORY, WE'VE TRIED THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES, UM, AND NOT TO THIS EXTENT.

AND SO I THINK WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE THE TIME AND PUT EVERYTHING IN PLACE THAT WE PUT A POLICY AND PROGRAM IN PLACE THAT'S REALLY GOING TO SUCCEED US FOR, YOU KNOW, THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS, LIKE SOME OF THESE OTHER CITIES HAVE HAD.

AND SO FOR US, WE'RE LOOKING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ENGAGE POTENTIALLY WITH THE BULL CHINOS HIGH SCHOOLS AND JUNIOR HIGH, STARTING IN SEPTEMBER, UM, AFTER IS BACK IN SESSION TO KICK OFF MEETINGS, UM, WITH THOSE APPROPRIATE EITHER PRINCIPALS OR ASB GROUPS OR WHOEVER THOSE SCHOOLS FEEL LIKE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO MEET WITH IS REALLY HAVE THOSE NEXT STEPS BEYOND JUST WHAT WE'VE BROUGHT TO YOU TONIGHT.

UM, AND THEN FINALLY RETURNED BACK TO THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL WITH ANY POLICIES OR ANY PROPOSED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS THAT WE FEEL MAY BE NECESSARY AT THAT TIME.

UM, AND SO WITH THAT, THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

COUNCIL MAY HAVE THIS EVENING.

CAN I GET A FEW QUESTIONS? FIRST OF ALL, I'M THE CITY AT THE SIX CITIES THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD INFORMATION ON.

HOW MANY OF THEM ACTUALLY HAVE, UM, TEEN CENTERS? I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE OF REASONS.

SO I WOULD SAY ABOUT HALF OF THEM, DO ALL OF THEM HAVE SOME TYPE OF TEAM PROGRAMMING IN GENERAL, FOR EXAMPLE, CHINO HAS THEIR OWN TEAM CENTER.

UM, I KNOW RANCHO CUCAMONGA HAS MORE OF A DEDICATED LOCATION.

UM, AND SO A HANDFUL OF THEM FOR THAT I KNOW FOR US, WE ACTUALLY OPENED UP OUR FACILITY TO TWO HOURS AND IT'S BENEFICIAL TO A YELL AND NOTCH HIGH SCHOOL.

BUT AS FAR AS ANY OTHER PROGRAMMING FOR FOURTEENS, DO WE HAVE ANYTHING GOING ON? SO, I MEAN, WITH OUR RECREATION BROCHURE, OBVIOUSLY WE TRY TO ALWAYS PROVIDE RECREATION CLASSES AND PROGRAMS TO ALL AGES.

UM, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY FOR A PROGRAM THAT HAPPENS, I WOULD SAY DAILY, OUR TEEN ACTIVITY CENTER IS REALLY THE PRIMARY ONE THAT WE FOCUS ON.

AND THEN OUR SUMMER VOLUNTEER PROGRAM, OUR TWO TOP PROGRAMS WE OFFER.

AND WHEN I WAS A COMMISSIONER FOR THE PARKS AND RECS COMMISSION, I TRY TO MOVE THIS FORWARD.

I WENT TO, I'VE ACTUALLY TOURED A LOT OF TEEN CENTERS AND I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED LIKE WITH CLAREMONT, ESPECIALLY THEY HAD A REALLY GREAT PROGRAM.

UM, I KNOW WE TRIED TO DO SOMETHING BACK IN THAT TIME.

UM, I KNOW THAT WE SUBMITTED INFORMATION TO THE SCHOOLS, BUT THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.

I KNOW WE GAVE THEM INFORMATION.

WE MIGHT EVEN HAVE GONE TO MAYBE ONE

[00:50:01]

MEETING.

SO I'M A BELIEVER THAT WE NEED THE, THE TEENS TO ACTUALLY MOVE THIS FORWARD ON.

I THINK WE'VE DONE A GOOD JOB OVER THE YEARS, BUT I THINK WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB BY GETTING THE TEEN TEENS PARTICIPATION TO ACTUALLY MOVE THIS FORWARD.

UM, AS FAR AS, UM, PARKS AND RECS COMMISSIONERS, I KNOW THERE'S TWO OF THEM HERE.

UM, I WOULD SAY MAYBE AT THE BEGINNING, AND I KNOW YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS TO DO IT WITH STAFF ONLY.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAYBE FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OUT, MAYBE WE HAVE EITHER ONE OR TWO INDIVIDUALS FROM THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION TO BE PART OF THEM.

SO THIS WAY THEY CAN SORT OF, UM, EDUCATE OUR YOUNG TEENS.

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S, THEY'RE SHARP, THEY'RE SMART.

UM, I'M IMPRESSED WITH, UH, WHERE THEY WANT TO GO IN THE FUTURE OF THE COLLEGES THEY WANT TO WANT TO GO TO.

BUT IF THIS PROGRAM TRULY IS GOING TO GROW, I'M A BELIEVER IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE BY THEM, NOT BY STAFF.

I THINK WE'RE THERE, WE'RE THERE TO SUPPORT THEM.

COUNCIL'S THERE TO SUPPORT THEM.

BUT I THINK THEY'RE THE ONES WHO ARE GOING, GONNA HAVE TO ACTUALLY GROW THE, UM, THE TEAM COMMISSION OR WHATEVER WE WANT TO CALL IT.

SO, UM, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, YOU KNOW, ON THAT MIRROR.

UM, THE KEY TO THIS AND SOME OF THEM WILL PROBABLY LAUGH BECAUSE I USE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE.

THIS IS NOT THE BROCCOLI CLUB, FRANKLY, THIS IS A GROUP OF KIDS THAT WE WANT TO GET TOGETHER THAT ARE GOING TO BE A TRUE MELTING POT OF THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY, BECAUSE IF IT GETS TOO FOCUSED WITH ANY PARTICULAR GROUP, AS WE ALL VERY WELL KNOW, AS WE WENT THROUGH SCHOOL, KIDS GRAVITATE TO THE KIDS THAT THEY KNOW, AND THEY DON'T GO OUTSIDE OF THEIR BOX.

AND SO THE CHALLENGE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE AS HOW DO WE BRING THIS ENTIRE, ALL THE KIDS TOGETHER, NO MATTER WHAT DESIRES OR INTERESTS THAT THEY MAY HAVE, BECAUSE IF IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT'S ONLY FOR THE HIGH ACHIEVING KIDS, YOU'RE NOT NO OFFENSE, BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE C STUDENTS.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THE BS STUDENTS TO BE INVOLVED IN SUCH.

UM, MELISSA USES A GREAT EXAMPLE OVER AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

THERE'S ABOUT FOUR PODS OF KIDS THAT SHOW UP AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.

ONE GROUP GOES AND PLAYS BILLIARDS.

ONE GROUP IS HANGING OUT, DOING HOMEWORK.

ONE GROUP IS LISTENING TO MUSIC AND SUCH, AND THERE'S NO INTERACTION BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THEIR GROUP.

AND SO HOW DO WE BRING ALL OF THAT TOGETHER? AND I CAN'T AGREE MORE FROM WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, AS FAR AS IT'S GOT TO COME FROM THE KIDS.

IT'S NOT US, IT'S NOT ANYBODY THAT'S ELECTED OR ANYTHING OR APPOINTED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO COME FROM THE KIDS.

AND WE'RE ONLY GOING TO BE AS GOOD AS THOSE KIDS.

WEREN'T.

ONE OF OUR HARDSHIPS INITIALLY WAS WE HAD, UH, WE HAD REPRESENTATION OF SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADER FROM CANYON HILLS, A SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADER FROM TOWNS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS OVER TIME IS AS YOU'RE ONLY AGAIN AS GOOD IT'S LIKE STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY, THAT THAT PROGRAM IS ONLY AS GOOD AS FOR THE MOST PART WHO IS IN THE COUNCIL POSITIONS.

AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE CONSISTENTLY TOP QUALITY PEOPLE, THEN YOU GO, AND THEN WHAT REAL HONEST THAT THING IS IS THEN, THEN IT FALLS BACK ON US STAFF, BECAUSE THEN WE HAVE TO PICK UP THE BALL PERIOD, EXCLAMATION POINT IT'S.

WE CAN GO TO THE MEETINGS AND HEAR WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY AND EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT THE INITIATIVE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO NEED, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE FROM 0.1.

BUT THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT AS ANY PROGRAM THAT WE DO IN THE CITY, IT FALLS BACK ON STAFF.

AND SO, UM, WE'LL, WE'LL BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEM AS IT RELATES TO THINGS, LISTENING TO THEM AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, IS STEERING THEM.

SO WHEN WE'RE ADULTS THAT ARE IN THESE MEETINGS AND STUFF, THIS HAS GOT TO COME FROM THEM.

IT CAN'T COME FROM OTHER PEOPLE, THE ADULTS THAT ARE IN THE ROOM, OR IT WON'T, IT JUST WON'T SUCCEED.

PERIOD.

SAME KIDS FROM EVERY SCHOOL.

GREAT.

CAN I HAVE QUICK QUESTION IN THE CITIES THAT YOU SURVEYED? HOW ARE THOSE, THOSE KIDS SELECTED TO BE ON THIS? I KNOW WE'VE GOT A LOT OF HARD CHARGING, SMART KIDS THAT WANT, YOU KNOW, WANT TO BUILD UP THEIR RESUME FOR COLLEGE.

AND BETWEEN JUNIOR TWO JUNIOR HIGHS AND TWO HIGH SCHOOLS, I CAN IMAGINE THE COMPETITION WILL BE FIERCE.

I KNOW WE ALL HAVE, HAVE HAD TO GLEAN THROUGH THOSE APPLICATIONS FOR THE STUDENT EX-OFFICIO EVERY YEAR.

SO IT'S A VARIATION.

SOME OF THE CITIES HAVE IT WHERE THEY WILL POINT A PARKS AND REC COMMISSIONER OR SOME COUNCIL TO, AND WITH CITY STAFF TO OVERSEE APPLICATIONS, SOME CITIES RUN IT JUST WHERE THEIR CITY STAFF THAT OVERSEE THE TEAM, PROGRAMMING THAT THROUGH THOSE.

SOME OF THEM HAVE IT IN THEIR POLICIES THAT ONCE YOU'RE ON IT, YOU CAN STAY ON IT FOR THE NEXT, YOU KNOW, FOUR SOMETHING YEARS.

AND SO THOSE ARE KIND OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO GET BACK FEEDBACK FROM THE TEENS, OBVIOUSLY, UM, OF HOW THAT WOULD BE, BUT IT'S A WIDE VARIETY OF OPTIONS FOR FEEDBACK FROM WHICH TEENS, JUST THE, SO THE TEENS, WHEN WE GO, WE ARE MOVE FORWARD.

WHEN WE'RE MEETING WITH THE JUNIOR HIGHS AND HIGH SCHOOLS, WE WANT TO ENGAGE SOME OTHER TEENS, UM, IN THIS PROCESS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, COUNCIL MEMBER JOE'S IS THAT WHEN WE FIRST EMBARKED ON THIS, WE ACTUALLY HAD 24 APPLICANTS THAT WERE INTERESTED.

SO THERE ARE GOING TO BE A LOT OF KIDS, BUT AGAIN, THAT GROUP CAN'T BE THE

[00:55:01]

YOU KNOW, I'M NOT POINTING THEM OUT IN A NEGATIVE WAY HERE, BUT IT CAN'T BE ALL THE ENTIRE GROUP, ALL THE HIGH ACHIEVING KIDS, BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT SAME ATTACHMENT TO THE OTHER.

SO YOU CAN'T BE THE ASB.

ALL-STARS EXACTLY.

AND THAT'S THE SAME POOL WE PULL FROM FOR STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY, BUT THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT'S A SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND I ALWAYS COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT IS THAT STUDENT GOVERNMENT DAY, WE SHOULD BE GOING TO THE SENIOR GOVERNMENT CLASSES THAT KIDS WANT TO PARTICIPATE.

AND WE ALWAYS DRAW FROM THE ESP POOL.

SO THE NICE THING TOO IS AS A BOARD, PRESIDENT SCHAFER HAS ALREADY PLEDGED WHATEVER ASSISTANCE THAT HE CAN GIVE FROM THE DISTRICT LEVEL AS WELL.

SO I KNOW HE'S ALL IN, AS FAR AS HELPING US OUT TO MAKE THIS AS, AS BEST WE CAN FROM THAT STANDPOINT, A LOT OF THIS, IF YOU LOOK AT THE IDEAS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, IT'S ALL PROGRAM DRIVEN.

YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THIS OR THAT STUFF, THAT THEY ARE NOT GETTING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL OR THE JUNIOR HIGH LEVEL AND SUCH.

AND SO THAT'S JUST PROGRAMS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S PROGRAM.

SO WE DO A LOT OF PROGRAMS, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS WHAT WE DO AND SUCH.

SO IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT FOCUS AS FAR AS THINGS GO.

BUT WE LOOK FORWARD TO THIS.

THIS IS, THIS IS A GOOD THING.

UM, HOWEVER WE PROCEED FORWARD.

UM, IT'S A GOOD, IT'S A GOOD POSITIVE STEP BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF, AS THE MAYOR KNOWS, WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT TEAMS IN THE COMMUNITY.

THERE'S NO DOUBT, BUT YOU KNOW, THE REALITY OF THIS IS THAT A LOT OF THE KIDS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SAY, MAYBE SEE, AREN'T, DON'T HAVE AN INTEREST IN DOING THIS.

AND IT IS THE WE'LL CALL THEM THE OVERACHIEVERS, THE ONES THAT ARE BUILDING UP RESUMES TO GO TO COLLEGE, THE ONES THAT REALLY WANT TO BECOME OUR FUTURE LEADERS.

AND THAT'S GREAT, BUT THERE'S A TON OF, I WOULD SAY THE VAST MAJORITY OF KIDS THAT ARE OUT THERE AREN'T ON THAT SAME TRACK.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT APPEALS TO THEM.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT TO NOT BE EXCLUSIONARY AND COMING UP WITH A COMMITTEE THAT IS REALLY UNREPRESENTED ALL THE KIDS IN THE SCHOOL.

I THINK TO, TO RAY'S POINT, IF WE GET THE RIGHT KIDS INVOLVED FROM THE SCHOOLS, THEN THEY CAN KIND OF VET OUT WHO SHOULD BE ON THE COMMITTEE.

BUT AGAIN, I THINK THIS WE'RE JUST GOING TO RUN INTO EXCLUDING PEOPLE THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT THING, BUT I'M ALL FOR IT.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING, BUT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO SET UP SOME GUIDELINES AS TO, I THINK FIRST AND FOREMOST, IT SHOULD BE A COMMITTEE.

WE DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING THAT IS INVOLVED WITH HAVING TO ENFORCE BROWN, BROWN ACT, UH, RULES FOR THE COMMITTEE.

UH, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

UH, I THINK THAT WE, EVERY ONE OF US WHO'VE BEEN MAYOR HAVE GONE THROUGH RESUMES, A DOZEN RESUMES OF KIDS APPLYING FOR THE STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PARKS AND REC.

AND THERE ARE SOME WONDERFULLY BRIGHT KIDS THAT ARE INVOLVED WITH ALL KINDS OF THINGS, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY REPRESENT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE STUDENTS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

SO ARE WE REALLY GOING TO HAVE A TEEN ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT'S GOING TO REPRESENT ALL THE STUDENTS OR JUST SOME, I DON'T THINK WE CAN GET AROUND THAT PURE AND SIMPLE.

YOU KNOW, I, I DEFINITELY THINK ONE OF, KIND OF, I WOULD SAY, UM, UH, THING THAT WE HAVE IS, UH, HE'S HERE SELF-WORTH BUT, UM, JACOB VELAZCO IS, YOU KNOW, HE'S OUR NEW COORDINATOR.

UM, HE ACTUALLY COMES WITH MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.

HE WORKED WITH THE CITY OF CHINO AND MOST RECENTLY DIAMOND BAR AND HELPED WITH BOTH OF THEIR YOUTH PROGRAMS THERE.

UM, SO I THINK IT'S REALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE HE HAS MOVING US FORWARD.

AND HE HAS SOME GREAT IDEAS OF HOW, LIKE YOU SAID, ENGAGED, JUST NOT THAT SAME CORE GROUP.

UM, BUT BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER.

AND PART OF HIS JOB IS ALSO TO OVERSEE OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AND OUR VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IN GENERAL.

AND SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD COHESIVE, UM, POSITION FOR JACOB TO BE IN TO HELP US, UM, IN THIS NEXT STEP, IF THE COUNSELOR, I THINK, I THINK A LOT OF WHAT'S GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IS HOW WE PITCH THE PROGRAM.

SO IF IT'S, IF IT'S MORE PITCHED, LIKE, YOU KNOW, THIS IS ANOTHER STUDENT COMMISSION, IT'S VERY INTIMIDATING FOR THE AVERAGE STUDENT.

SO WHEN WE HAVE OUR APPLICATION, IF WE GO THROUGH FOUR WITH THIS, IT'S LIKE THE APPLICATION, IT DOESN'T NEED TO SAY WHAT CLUBS YOU'RE IN.

IT DOESN'T NEED TO SAY WHAT YOUR GPA IS.

IT DOESN'T NEED TO SAY, WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY? MAYBE IT'S JUST A PARAGRAPH THAT SAYS, WHY DO YOU LOVE CHINO HILLS? AND HOW COULD CHINO HILLS BE BETTER? AND IF WE GET A LOT OF, UM, APPLICATIONS, MAYBE IT GOES TO A LOTTERY SYSTEM AND WE JUST PICK THEM OUT OF A HAT AND YOU GOT PICKED THIS YEAR TO BE, GIVE US YOUR INPUT.

AND IF WE PHRASE IT MORE LIKE WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU AND NOT MAKE IT MORE CASUAL, BUT NOT AS INTIMIDATING.

AND I KNOW FOR KIDS WITH THE APPLYING PROCESS THAT WE WANT TO START IS TO KIND OF BRING THAT EXCITEMENT OF WHAT IT IS THAT WE HAVE AND THEN BRINGING DIFFERENT TEAMS OUT THROUGH THIS.

AND SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, JACOB WILL DO A TREMENDOUS ROLE IN THAT PROCESS, MOVING FORWARD WITH IT, MR. MAYOR, I THINK WE HAVE SOME STUDENTS THAT ARE WAITING WITH BATED BREATH TO HAVE SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THIS.

I THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO HEAR THEIR PERSPECTIVE AND SEE IF ONE OF THEM.

AND THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE A RECOMMENDATION THAT MAYBE THEY DO THE SAME THING THEY DO TALK TO THE ADVISORY BOARDS WERE THE GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE PUTTING ON THESE PROGRAMS BECAUSE I BELIEVED THIS COULD BE FOR ALL STUDENTS, NOT JUST FOR THE ADVISORY.

SO JUST A FEW THINGS I WANT TO SAY.

UM, I'M A BELIEVER.

I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR US, AND I THINK THERE'S A GOOD CORE OF PEOPLE THAT, UH, YOUNG PEOPLE THAT WILL DO A GOOD JOB.

I WAS VERY FORTUNATE WHEN I WAS ON THE PORCH, NEXT COMMISSION.

I DID TOUR, UM, TEEN CENTERS THROUGHOUT THE AREA.

[01:00:01]

THE ADVISORY BASICALLY IS GOING TO DEVELOP PROGRAMMING FOR THE COMMUNITY.

SO WE, WE HIT IT'S OPEN TO EVERYBODY.

SO I MEAN, THAT'S MY ENVISION AND TALKING TO THEM, I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT TO DO TOO.

SO IT'S NOT JUST SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I HAVE HIGH GRADES AND THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO DO.

THIS IS FOR THE WHOLE CITY AT DIFFERENT LEVELS.

AND, UH, BUT I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THEY DO SEE WHAT OTHER CITIES ARE DOING.

AND I WOULD REALLY, IF WE MOVE FORWARD ON THIS, I REALLY RECOMMEND THAT WE'D MAKE SOME, UH, TOURS OF OTHER CITIES AND SORT OF GET SOME INPUT.

SO THEY, THEY GET THE INPUT BECAUSE I THINK WITHOUT THEM BEHIND IT, 110%, IT ISN'T GONNA, IT'S NOT GONNA WORK IN HER CITY.

SO LET ME, THAT'S JUST MY COMMENTS.

WELL, WE DO HAVE THE ONE STAFF PERSON THAT NOW HAS EXPERIENCED IN THREE CITIES SO THAT WE HAVE IN-HOUSE EXPERTISE.

SO LISTEN, WE GOT JONATHAN TOO.

SO I HAVE ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN THE WORLD.

NOW, THOSE TWO INDIVIDUALS TOO.

SO YEAH.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC SPEAKERS ON THIS? YES, WE DO.

OUR FIRST SPEAKER IS JEN PULLED CAMP.

BEFORE YOU START, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.

OH, WELL THANK YOU.

WHOSE, WHOSE COMMISSIONER ARE YOU BY THE WAY? TREMENDOUS, THE BEST ONE THAT'S FOR, SOMEONE'S NOT GETTING REAPPOINTED.

UM, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY COMMENTS TONIGHT.

I ALSO WANT TO THANK OUR CITY STAFF.

THEY DID A REALLY AWESOME JOB RESEARCHING ALL THESE DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND, UM, GIVING US A REALLY THOROUGH PRESENTATION OF KIND OF WHAT'S OUT THERE.

AND IF WHAT WE WANT TO BASE IT ON, I'M JUST HERE TONIGHT TO SHOW SUPPORTIVE OF THE FORMATION OR THE RE FORMATION OF ANY SORT OF YOUTH COUNCIL THAT YOU GUYS SEE FIT FOR OUR CITY.

UM, AS MAYOR MARK HAS MENTIONED, HE AND, UM, COMMISSIONER JACKSON HAVE INTERVIEWED A LOT OF THESE REALLY AMAZING STUDENTS.

I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK AND KIND OF MEET WITH THEM AND HEAR THEIR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS.

THEY HAVE REALLY JUST A LOT OF GOOD IDEAS, NOT JUST LIKE PROGRAMS THEY WANT TO SEE, BUT AS FAR AS LIKE DEVELOPING THE LEADERSHIP SKILLS, UM, MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS WITH THE CITY STAFF AND CITY GOVERNMENT, THEY ALSO HAVE TALKED A LOT ABOUT HOW TO MARKET THE PROGRAM OR MARKET THE COUNCIL AND HOW TO KEEP THE COUNCIL SUSTAINABLE EVEN AFTER THEY'VE GRADUATED.

UM, I'M THANKFUL TO ME AND MARQUEZ THAT HE'S PRESSED FORWARD WITH THIS IDEA.

UM, I KNOW THAT WE'VE TRIED IT IN THE PAST.

I THINK NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO RESTART IT UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND, UM, ALSO WITH STAFF REALLY GRATEFUL ALSO TO MELISSA AND TO JACOB FOR ALL THEIR RESEARCH AND THE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY BRING.

SO THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS NICOLE TAURUS, GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF.

MY NAME'S NICOLE TORRES.

AND RECENTLY WE'VE BEEN MEETING ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT OF A YOUTH COUNCIL.

AND BASICALLY WE'D LIKE TO SAY THAT MORE THAN EVER YOU THURBER RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF GIVING BACK TO THEIR COMMUNITY IN A MEANINGFUL WAY, WE WOULD STRIVE TO ENCOURAGE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT IN OUR YOUTH BECAUSE WHEN YOU THROW INFORMED AND ENGAGED IN A LOCAL GOVERNMENT, THEY'RE ABLE TO BECOME ACTIVE DEMOCRATIC CITIZENS WHO CAN EFFICIENTLY NAVIGATE THE WORLD AROUND THEM WHILE CONTRIBUTING TO THEIR COMMUNITY.

ADDITIONALLY, SINCE YOU KNOW, HILL CITY COUNCIL WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL WITH THE YOUTH IN ORDER TO BETTER UNDERSTAND AND RESPOND TO THEIR NEEDS, FOSTERING A CULTURE OF INCLUSIVE COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION ACROSS ALL AGES IS ESTIMATED THE OTHER MORE THAN 10,000 STUDENTS LIVING IN CHINO HILLS.

AND THERE'S IMPERATIVE WAY TO GIVE BACK AND GIVE THEM THEIR VOICE.

NEXT IS DANIEL DANIEL CASE TONGAN UM, HELLO COUNCIL MEMBERS AND MR. MAYOR.

UM, IT'S THE TAN GANG, BUT THAT'S, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

I'VE HEARD ALL SORTS OF PRONUNCIATIONS THAT THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF THE WORST ONES ACTUALLY.

FIRST OF ALL, CAN I ACTUALLY ASK A QUESTION TO MR. MARSHALL? IS THAT, IS THAT POSSIBLE? SURE.

OH, SO I WAS JUST WONDERING, SO FOR THE FIRST, UM, THAT AN ORIGINAL LIKE TEEN SORT OF THING, WAS IT INSTIGATED BY TEAMS WAS INITIATED BY TEAMS OR WAS IT SOMETHING BROUGHT OUT BY STAFF AT THE CITY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? WE HAD BROUGHT SOMETHING FORWARD TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION TO GAIN THEIR SUPPORT, TO START SOMETHING STRUCTURED IN NATURE.

AND THEN WE SET THE PARAMETERS AND THEN WE WENT OUT AND WE ENGAGED THE STUDENTS AT THE VARIOUS SCHOOLS AND SUCH AS WELL, AND THEN BECAME AN APPLICATION PROCESS WHERE PEOPLE APPLIED

[01:05:01]

AND SUCH.

AND WE ENDED UP WITH REPRESENTATION, WHICH WAS GREAT, UH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADER FROM BOTH SCHOOLS, JUNIOR HIGHS, AND THEN, UM, ALL THE WAY UP FROM FRESHMEN TO SENIOR REPRESENTATION AT THE HIGH SCHOOLS AS WELL FROM THAT STANDPOINT.

SO, OKAY.

SO YEAH.

SO I THINK ONE OF THE MAIN DIFFERENTIATING FACTORS FOR THIS TIME AROUND IS THAT THIS TIME IT'S INITIATED BY US, THE YOUTH, THE STUDENTS.

SO HOPEFULLY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SPEAKS OUT TO YOU GUYS IN MAKING YOUR DECISION ON THIS, UM, THIS TIME AROUND.

BUT ANOTHER THING IS THAT I'M TAKING INTO ACCOUNT HOW, UH, NOT SO LONG AGO, I GUESS, BUT I GUESS I WAS LIKE TWO WHEN THAT ENDED.

UM, BUT NOWADAYS YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE'RE IN AN AGE IN WHICH SOCIAL MEDIA IS HIGHLY DOMINANT AND PEOPLE, OUR AGE, EVEN YOUNGER.

I KNOW EVEN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WHETHER THAT'S A FORTUNATE THING OR NOT, UM, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING INVOLVED INTO POLITICS AT A MUCH YOUNGER AGE.

AND I FEEL THAT PROVIDING THEM WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY, PROVIDING THEM WITH THIS EXPERIENCE IN GOVERNMENT, WHETHER ESPECIALLY JUST STARTING AT LOCAL GOVERNMENT, SINCE IT'S A MUCH MORE CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT, OBVIOUSLY GIVING THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO PLAY THEIR LITTLE POLITICS AND SORT OF LET THEM GO HAVE A GO AT IT AT THIS LEVEL, GIVES THEM A MORE INFORMED PERSPECTIVE AND ALLOWS THEM TO DEVELOP MORE INFORMED PER, UM, BECOME MORE INFORMED CITIZENS.

UM, SO THAT THEY'RE NOT JUST LOOKING AT SOCIAL MEDIA AND FALLING FOR CERTAIN IDEAS AND POLITICS THAT MIGHT POP UP.

CAUSE THAT'S ULTIMATELY AT THE END OF THE DAY, JUST IDEAS AREN'T ENOUGH IN ORDER TO PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH EXPERIENCE IN ORDER FOR THEM TO SEE THAT IN ACTION.

I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A MAJOR DIFFERENCE IN, IN REGARDS TO THE WHOLE ISSUE OF, UM, BEING ABLE TO SUSTAIN IT, OBVIOUSLY.

UM, IT DOES GO IN A LOT, UH, TO THE MARKETING PART, BUT I FEEL THAT WE SHOULD, I AGREE WITH, UM, COUNCIL MEMBER MORAN THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY CUT OUT THE GPA PART OF PR FROM THE APPLICATION, AS LONG AS YOU'D LIKE, MAYBE CHECK LIKE A LITTLE PART THAT YOUR GPA IS ABOVE LIKE 2.0 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THAT MIGHT BE GOOD SO THAT WE'RE NOT LIKE TAKING TIME AWAY FROM PEOPLE THAT REALLY NEED IT.

UM, AND THEN, BUT I DO THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE KEEPING THE CLUBS AND EXTRACURRICULARS SO THAT WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THESE PEOPLE DO SO THAT WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT INTERESTS THEY PURSUE AND SEE WHETHER OR NOT THAT MAKES THEM A BETTER FIT FOR THE COUNCIL AS WELL.

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO HAVE ACTUAL SERIOUS MEMBERS SO THAT WE ACTUALLY GET SERIOUS PERSPECTIVES ON THIS SO THAT IT'S, WE'RE MAKING THE MOST USE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE.

THAT'S GOING TO BE PARTICIPATING IN IT.

YOU KNOW, MARY, I THINK SOCIAL MEDIA WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WILL REALLY ENHANCE OUR ABILITIES TO, UH, MAKE THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S SO MUCH EASIER TO COME.

YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY'S COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER ALL THE TIME ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND EVERYTHING.

SO I THINK THAT'LL ACTUALLY BE AN ENHANCEMENT THAT FROM THE LAST TIME THAT WE DID THIS, SO GOOD THING.

NO, NO, NO.

IT WOULD BE BRENDAN MARSHALL, WHICH IS MY 16 YEAR OLD.

OUR NEXT SPEAKER IS KATELYN SITU HI.

UM, MY NAME IS CAITLIN AND I'M PART OF THE GROUP HELPING WITH THE YOUTH COUNCIL PROPOSAL.

WE MET ON JUNE 23RD AND WE WERE ABLE TO DISCUSS MANY PRACTICAL IDEAS.

YOU GUYS ALSO BROUGHT UP IN THIS MEETING.

UM, IT WAS LIKE CIVIC ENGAGEMENT EVENTS, INCREASE ATTENTION ON MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS INITIATIVES, LIFE SKILL WORKSHOPS, LIKE FINDING JOBS, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT MANY HIGH SCHOOLS DO NOT OFFER.

AND IT'S, WE'RE KIND OF MISSING THAT PART AND, UH, FORUMS AND PLATFORMS TO DISCUSS EVENTS AROUND US AND MENTORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES WITH CITY OFFICIALS AND STAFF TO HIGHLIGHT HOW IT DIRECTLY COULD AFFECT AND BENEFIT ALL YOUTH.

I WANT TO GIVE A STORY LIKE PERSONALLY, UM, AFTER TAKING MY ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CLASS IN MY SCHOOL, I WAS VERY INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING THE IDEA OF HAVING LIKE A CITY PLANNER FOR TODAY AS MS. WHOLE CAMP SUGGESTED.

AND IT'S, IT KIND OF FOLLOWS LIKE THE MUCH MORE COMMON PRINCIPLE OF THE DAY THAT MANY SCHOOLS HAVEN'T WHAT, UH, MISS MOURN, UM, MENTIONED.

AND THEN I THINK THAT THIS, THE SAME EXCITEMENT THAT I HAVE CAN BE SEEN IN ALL TEAMS, IF THERE WERE MORE DIVERSE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ATTRACTED THEIR OWN INTERESTS, AND THEN IT COULD LEAD TO A GATEWAY INTO BEING PART OF THE TEEN COMMUNITY BECAUSE WE ATTRACT TEAMS NOT BASED ON, UM, ENTIRELY GRADES AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, BUT SOMETHING, UH, MORE INTERESTS.

AND I THINK THAT'S A DIFFERENT FACTOR THAT WE SHOULD CONSIDER.

AND THEN, UM, I THINK THAT THESE OPPORTUNITIES ARE SOMETHING THAT IF WE HAD A YOUTH COUNCIL AND WORKING WITH THE CITY, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD PROVIDE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I WOULD HAVE TO WORK REALLY HARD TO FIND OPPORTUNITIES TO, UM, BE CONNECTED WITH A CITY PLANNER.

AND, UM, IF IT WAS EASIER, IT WOULD DEFINITELY HELP MY INTEREST.

AND THEN, YEAH.

CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN TOO, RIGHT? WE ESTABLISHED

[01:10:01]

THIS COMMITTEE.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FUN.

SURE.

AND EVERYTHING, BUT LIKE I THINK HAVING AN INTEREST IN ENVIRONMENTS AND, UM, THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND ME, THAT'S MY IDEA OF FUN AND COMPOSTING.

THAT'S FUN.

YAY.

PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE.

YES.

GOOD JOB.

INTENTIONS ARE WONDERFUL.

THAT IS OUR FINAL SPEAKER.

UH, IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE ONE MORE SPEAKER.

WERE YOU PART OF THE GROUP, SIR? HOW ARE YOU DOING GOOD EVENING? MY NAME IS ALAMEDA.

I BET.

BETTER PHYSICAL EDUCATION EDUCATOR AND A COACH FOR 30 SOME YEARS.

WHAT I'VE HEARD TODAY, IT KIND OF SOUNDED LIKE WHO'S ON FIRST.

WHAT'S ON SECOND.

AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO FOR THIRD BASE? AND WHO'S GOING TO HIT THE BALL.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT SAYS ADVISORY BOARD, TEEN ADVISORY BOARD, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE YOUNGSTERS AND THE ADULTS WERE KIND OF VAGUE AND THEY WERE LOST AS TO THE ORIGINAL MEANING TO WHAT YOU WISH TO ACHIEVE.

YOU HAVE TOO MANY WANNABES.

I LIKED THIS.

I LIKED THAT.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A DINNER, YOU BETTER KNOW WHAT THE INGREDIENTS ARE GOING TO BE.

YOU CAN MAKE A BEAUTIFUL CAKE.

IF ALL THE INGREDIENTS ARE WHAT 10,000 PEOPLE WANT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A MESS.

MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE ONE TO SPEAK TO THE SCHOOLS, ESPECIALLY THE COACHES OR THE COUNSELORS OR THE PE TEACHERS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GOOD SOUND KNOWLEDGE AS TO HOW THE STUDENTS REALLY ARE OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM.

INSIDE THE CLASSROOM.

IT'S RESTRICTION IN SPORTS, YOU SEE THE INDIVIDUAL DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

AND THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS.

LIFE IS OUT OF.

THE CLASSROOM.

LIFE IS OUT OF THIS ROOM.

YOU HAVE TO LIVE.

SO YOU HAVE TO NARROW DOWN YOUR GOALS TO A FEW AND BUILD ON THAT.

AS YOU GROW JUST AN ADVISORY BOARD TO SOME INDIVIDUAL ARE AFRAID.

THE PAST 30 YEARS, ONE WORD HAS SLOWED DOWN EVERYTHING, THE COMMUNITY, THE COUNTRY, THE CITY, AND EVERYBODY ELSE, TEENAGERS, MIDDLE-AGED PEOPLE AND THE ELDERLY AND THAT WORD IS CALLED OFFEND.

AND THAT WORD HAS SILENCED.

THOSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING.

THAT'S WHY A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I WAS HERE ON FEBRUARY 8TH, EVERY BIT OF SAID, WHAT'S THE MATTER I GO WITH THAT.

I BELIEVE IN FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BUT THE WORD OFFEND HAS REALLY SILENCE OUR AMERICA.

IT SEEMS AS THOUGH, NOW, IF YOU WANT TO SAVE SOMETHING THAT'S TRUTHFUL, IT'S AGAINST SOMEBODY WHO'S AGAINST TRUTH AND VICE VERSA.

WE HAVE BEEN DIVIDED.

SO YOUR GOAL, IN MY OPINION, SHOULD BE THAT YOU NARROW DOWN YOUR FOCUS AS TO WHAT YOU REALLY WANT, AND THEN GO UP.

I CAN, ANY OF YOU THAT HAVE COACH, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BEAT THE BUSHES.

AND IF YOU'RE NOT, IF YOU'RE AFRAID TO BEAT THE BUSHES, YOUR GOALS ARE NOT GOING TO BE MET.

TALK IS WONDERFUL, BUT ACTION GETS THE JOB DONE.

I HOPE YOU CAN ACHIEVE WHAT YOU WANT.

AND I HOPE YOU GET DOWN AND NARROW IT DOWN.

SO IT'S NOT A MIXED MASH OF IDEAS, BUT CERTAINLY IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT SMALLER THAN WHAT YOU REACHING UP FOR THE SKY.

IF YOU WANT TO REACH THE MOON, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET OFF THE GROUND.

THANK YOU ALL.

THAT'S IT? THAT IS IT.

YOU'RE COMING BACK TO US.

UM, ANY COMMENTS? FURTHER COMMENTS.

I'M GOING TO SAY A FEW THINGS.

UM, OH, RONNIE, COME ON UP, SIR.

THIS IS AROUND THIS, AROUND THE CORNER AND UP MY STREET.

WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND GARDEN GROW NEXT TO A BRAND NEW DISNEYLAND, THEY STARTED A YOUTH COMMITTEE.

IT WAS CALLED GROVE YOUTH.

AND WE HAD A, UM, WE HAD A BUILDING, UH, RIGHT OUTSIDE, UH, ACROSS THE STREET FROM GARDEN GROVE HIGH SCHOOL.

AND I WAS IN THE OTHER HIGH SCHOOL AND WE GOT TOGETHER WITH A HISTORY TEACHER.

WE HAD A TEACHER WITH US ALL THE TIME.

THE SUGGESTION OF A, OF A COACH IS VERY, VERY GOOD IN A GOVERNMENT.

WE HAD A HISTORY TEACHER OR A CIVICS TEACHER WITH US AT ALL TIMES TO GUIDE US ALONG THE PROCESS OF WHAT WE WANTED TO DO.

AND THAT PERSON WAS WITH US AT EVERY MEETING.

AND IT WAS VERY HELPFUL.

THAT'S WHERE THE GUIDANCE

[01:15:01]

COMES IN.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE BEING IN A CLASS.

I'VE LISTENED TO EVERY STUDENT THAT'S BEEN INVOLVED IN COMING FORWARD WITH THIS, WITH THIS DUTY IN THIS WORK.

AND I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THEY'RE FAR ABOVE AND MORE INVOLVED IN, IN, UH, AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.

UM, THEY MAY NOT BE THAT AS HAS JUST BEEN SUGGESTED, PREPARED TO, UH, GET IT DONE.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE VALUE OF THIS SITUATION IS FOR STUDENTS IS TO WORK AND TO PRODUCE.

AND, UH, UH, IT, IT FORMS US INSIDE.

IT REALLY DOES.

UH, IT GOT ME ON THE ROAD TO BEING MORE INTERESTED IN GOVERNMENT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

UH, BUT I MET PEOPLE FROM THE OTHER SCHOOLS AT THE SAME TIME.

THERE WAS A LOT OF, LOT OF PREPARATION IN HERE FOR ADULT LIFE.

AND I THINK HAVING SOMEONE ON ON-SITE WITH THE PEOPLE IN THIS, IN THIS, UH, IN THIS GROUP WILL BE OF, UH, IMMENSE IMMENSE BENEFIT AND, UM, AND CONTINUE AND DEEPEN THE PROCESS OF, UH, LEARNING.

THANKS MAN.

IT'S EXTREMELY CUMBERSOME.

ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SAY ANYTHING? CAN I SEE NOBODY OUT THERE? UM, I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

UM, WE'VE BEEN A CITY NOW FOR 30 YEARS.

WE'VE TRIED THIS.

I WAS ON THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION FOR 12 YEARS AND WE TRIED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES.

WE DID REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOLS.

I SPOKE WITH THE PRINCIPALS I SPOKE WITH COACHES JUST DIDN'T WORK.

WE STARTED OUT, MAYBE WE HAD 20 PEOPLE, 23 PEOPLE AT ONE TIME, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DWINDLED.

UM, I'M A TRUE BELIEVER THAT IT'S GOING TO BE UP TO THE YOUTH THAT WE HAVE IN OUR CITY TO MAKE THIS WORK.

THEY HAVE A LOT OF GREAT IDEAS.

I WANT TO SUPPORT IT.

UM, BECAUSE I W I WANT THIS, I MEAN, TO JUST HAVE A COMMUNITY CENTER AND WE SAY, WE'RE OPEN UP FOR TWO HOURS A DAY FOR ONE HIGH SCHOOL.

TO ME, THAT'S NOT A VIABLE PROGRAM FOR THE QUALITY OF PROGRAMMING THAT WE DO IN OUR CITY.

I THINK IT'S SORT OF SHORT THERE.

I THINK WE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE, BUT AGAIN, I THINK WE NEED, UH, A BUY-IN FROM THE COMMUNITY.

SO MR. MATA, I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU AND I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE FROM THE GROUP OF CORE PEOPLE, AND I THINK THEY NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND ACTUALLY WITH MAYBE SOME ADVISORS SUCH AS JAN AND ELLE TO BASICALLY DEFINE A PROGRAM, WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IN OUR CITY AND THEN BRING IT BACK TO US IN THE FUTURE.

BUT I'M A CREW BELIEVER.

I THINK IT'S GOING TO WORK.

AND I THINK WE HAVE A GOOD, STRONG CORE PEOPLE THAT WILL MAKE THIS VERY SUCCESSFUL AND I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO, TO MOVE MOVING FORWARD.

SO, JONATHAN, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? AND WHAT'S THE RECOMMENDATION? WELL, FIRST AND FOREMOST, OF COURSE, SUPPORT FROM THE COUNCIL TO MOVE FORWARD AND, AND CREATE A, UM, UH, THIS GROUP OF, UH, YOUNGSTERS.

AND SO THEN AT THAT POINT IS, IS I THINK REALLY COMES DOWN TO WHAT, WHAT KIND OF STRUCTURE ARE WE GOING TO HAVE? I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SOME WORK THAT WE HAVE TO DO, OBVIOUSLY BEFORE WE GET BACK TO THE, THE COMMISSION AND EVERYTHING ELSE, PROBABLY WHAT WOULD BE BEST IS, IS THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE DO SOME MORE DUE DILIGENCE ON STRUCTURE AND EVERYTHING ELSE AND HOW THIS WILL WORK.

THE REALITIES ARE, IS IF WE HAVE, UM, IF WE HAVE COUNSEL AND OR COMMISSIONERS ON THIS, THEN WE HAVE TO FOLLOW ALL THE BROWN ACT RULES AND THAT'S CUMBERSOME.

I'VE, I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF STAFFORD, JUST THE WRAPPING OF THE UTILITY BOXES, JUST TO PICK PICTURES.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO HAVE FOLLOW BROWN ACT, TAKE MINUTES AND DO ALL OF THAT KIND OF GOOD STUFF.

AND IT JUST BECOMES EXTREMELY CUMBERSOME THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.

I THINK THAT WE'VE GOT THE TALENT ON BOARD TO CARRY THIS THING THROUGH.

WE GOT A NEW MAN ON NEW, NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN, SO TO SPEAK, WE HAVE A SHERIFF IN TOWN.

HOW ABOUT THAT, JACOB? AND SO, UM, ANYWAYS, UM, UH, BUT I THINK PROBABLY WE NEED TO, TO LOOK AT WHAT, UH, INAPPROPRIATE STRUCTURE'S GOING TO BE COME FORWARD WITH AN ACTION PLAN.

WE'LL CALL IT, UH, FIRST TO THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION TO GET BUY OFF ON THEM, AND THEN COME BACK TO THE COUNCIL.

UM, REALISTICALLY SPEAKING AT SUMMERTIME RIGHT NOW, THE ENGAGEMENT OF STUDENTS IS JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW AND EVERYTHING.

SO WE'RE PROBABLY LOOKING AT THE EARLIEST AND MELISSA HAD A TIMELINE OF SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER ISSUE, PROBABLY LOOKING AT A LITTLE LATER THAN THAT, BUT COMING UP WITH SOME SORT OF AN ACTION PLAN, HOW WE'RE GOING TO TACKLE THIS.

SO MAYBE A FOCUSED ACTION PLAN.

I CAN AGREE WITH THE FOCUS, UM, SCENARIO THERE AND THEN GET BUY OFF FROM THE COMMISSION, COME TO THE COUNCIL.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO.

THIS IS MAYBE SOME OTHER SUPPORT WE MAY NEED IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THIS PARTICULAR ACTION PLAN AND THEN PUT IT INTO PLAY.

SO, UH, THESE MEETINGS ARE GONNA BASICALLY BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

SO IF I WANTED TO ATTEND A MEETING, WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NO, I THINK WE WOULD DO SOMETHING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE

[01:20:01]

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION WHERE WE WOULD JUST OPEN IT UP.

AND WHOEVER WOULD OBVIOUSLY WOULD LIKE TO COME, CAN COME FROM THAT STANDPOINT.

OF COURSE, IT COULD GET A LITTLE CHALLENGING.

IF ALL OF A SUDDEN WE'VE GOT 500 TEENS THAT DECIDE TO SHOW UP TO THE, TO A MEETING OR SOMETHING THAT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING WE MAY NEED TO EVEN ENGAGE.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ENGAGEMENT OF THE STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, AT AN ASSEMBLY AT A SCHOOL OR WHATEVER IT HAPPENS TO BE.

SO IN THAT PARTICULAR FASHION, YOU'RE, YOU'RE ENGAGING QUITE A LARGER NUMBER OF STUDENTS AND SUCH.

AND THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD BE INVITED TO ATTEND, UH, NOT IN F YOU KNOW, NOT NECESSARILY MEETING, BUT JUST KIND OF AN OPEN DIALOGUE WITH THE PARTICIPANTS AND STUFF.

BUT I THINK A DETAILED ACTION PLAN ON HOW WE ARE GOING TO TACKLE THIS.

I THINK IN GETTING BUY OFF FROM THE COMMISSION AND GETTING BUY-OFF FROM THE COUNCIL THEN PUTS OUR NEXT STEP FORWARD, SO TO SPEAK.

AND UNLESS I'M SPEAKING OUT OF TERMS, NOPE, THAT IS MY THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION.

CAN I MAKE ONE ADDITION TO THAT? UH, SINCE THE CITY OF CHINO ALREADY HAS THIS TYPE OF A PROGRAMMER HAS BEEN DOING IT AND HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH QUITE A BIT, UH, I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN NOT REINVENTING THE WHEEL.

I THINK THAT WHOEVER IS INVOLVED WITH THIS INITIAL RESEARCH SHOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH THEM, UH, INTIMATELY.

SO WE KNOW EXACTLY BECAUSE THEY'RE IN ST TOOL DISTRICT.

WHICH MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE.

AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO SHOULD BE CONSISTENT WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH NOT HAVING SCHOOL DISTRICT BUY-IN BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN THAT ROUTE.

SO ART TO YOUR POINT, I ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT ONLY DEALING WITH PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS.

WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF HOMESCHOOL KIDS AND CATHOLIC SCHOOL KIDS AND ONTARIO CHRISTIAN.

THE TIMELINE SEEMS REASONABLE.

JUST MAKE SURE WE REACH OUT TO EVERYBODY ON THAT NOTE COMMISSIONER JOE'S AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN WE WERE COUNCILMAN JOSEPH IT'S OKAY.

COUNCILMAN JOSEPH, UM, THANKS AS IT RELATES TO THAT.

UM, YES, WE STUDENTS THAT LIVE IN CHINO HILLS, BUT A GOAL, YOU KNOW, OUTSIDE OF CHINO HILLS TO GO TO SCHOOL, PRIVATE OR PUBLIC AND, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER IT HAPPENS TO BE.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE WANT ALL OF THEM TO BE PARTICIPATING IN THIS.

CAUSE I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF STAFF TIME TO PREPARE, BUT, UM, I KNOW SCHOOL DOES START AUGUST 8TH, JUST FYI.

SO IF, IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO KIND OF MOVE IT UP, A LOT OF STUFF HAS HAPPENED BY OCTOBER.

WE'LL GET TOGETHER A WHOLE TIMELINE AND EVERYTHING CHINO BY ANY CHANCE, THE CITY MANAGER, UM, MAYOR, UH, YOU AND I HAVE MET WITH THE CITY OF CHINO, I'VE MET WITH THEM SUBSEQUENT TO THAT STAFF HAS ALSO, WE'VE REACHED OUT TO A VARIETY OF COMMUNITY, UH, COMMUNITIES.

IN ADDITION TO THE MATRIX OF, UH, RESEARCH THAT'S BEEN DONE, UH, CONVERSATIONS WITH CONTACTS AT THESE CITIES.

UH, I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE IS A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM THE COUNCIL, WHICH IS GREAT, WHICH WE WANTED TO HEAR TONIGHT.

WE'VE HAD SEVERAL ENGAGED, UH, YOUNG RESIDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY STAFF IS ON BOARD.

WE'RE ALL EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

WE JUST WANT TO DO IT RIGHT.

AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS, AND THIS ISN'T A BUZZWORD, BUT INCLUSIVE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY FEELS COMFORTABLE ENGAGING WITH THEIR COMMUNITY THROUGH A TEEN, UH, GROUP OF SOME SORT.

UH, AND JUST TO ADD, WE ARE CAUTIOUS ABOUT FORMALIZING IT TO THE LEVEL WHERE IT BECOMES A, A BROWN ACT, UH, TYPE OF BOARD THAT JUST ADDS BARRIERS TO THE MEETINGS.

IT ADDS BARRIERS TO OPEN COMMUNICATION.

AND SINCE THEIR INPUT WILL BE GIVEN AS AN ADVISORY CAPACITY TO OTHER BODIES THAT CAN CARRY THEM OUT.

WE THINK THAT THE BEST WAY FOR US TO GET FULL ENGAGEMENT IS TO, UH, HAVE THAT PARTICIPATION.

AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE, IT'S NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO THE PAPERWORK.

IT JUST ISN'T CONDUCIVE TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

UH, WORKING WITH THE CITY CLERK.

I JUST WANT TO REITERATE, UH, OUR INTERPRETATION OF THE COUNCIL, THE DIRECTION, WHICH IS TO DIRECT STAFF, UH, TO FORM A TEEN ADVISORY GROUP AND CREATE STRUCTURE TO BRING TO THE PARKS AND REC COMMISSION AND THEN THE COUNCIL WITH POLICIES AND ANY PROPOSED BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE JUST SAID.

SOME OF Y'ALL.

I'M GLAD WE GOT IT.

DO WE NEED TO FORMALLY VOTE ON THIS OR DO YOU GOT DIRECTION? UH, THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR US, BUT LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL KNOW HOW OUR BUTTONS WORK.

SO PLEASE.

I THINK IT'S HELPFUL FOR THAT SUPPORT.

I'LL SECOND IT.

MOTION PASSES FOUR ZERO.

CONGRATULATIONS GUYS.

YES, COUNCIL.

WITH THIS.

WELL, ONCE WE HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET, GET UP TO SPEED AND WORKING HOW MANY TOTAL WELLS WILL BE IN OPERATION, UH, WE'VE ONLY HAVE ONE.

WELL, IN OPERATION, YOU MEAN WHEN WE HAD THE TCP PLANT COMPLETELY, RIGHT.

UM, WE WILL HAVE UP TO SEVEN WELLS, UH, THAT WILL BE GOING THROUGH THAT PLANT.

AND THEN ONCE WE HAVE ALL SEVEN, WE'LL BE ABLE TO BILE BUY LESS WATER FROM MONTEVISTA.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE'LL WE'LL, UH, UH, IT'S ALL OF OUR WELLS IS ABOUT 25% OF OUR TOTAL PORTFOLIO.

SO, UM, YES, WE BUYING AT LEAST 25% OF, OR WE WILL BE MAKING AT LEAST 25% OF HER OWN WATER FROM OUR WELLS AND THEN THE COST OF THE WATER.

I KNOW IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT OVER $900 AN ACRE FOOT BUYING IT.

YES.

IF WE WERE CHEAP.

IT WAS PROBABLY GONNA RUN US AROUND $400, AN ACRE FOOT, LESS TESTING.

SO WE HAVE A FIRST AND SECOND CALL FOR VOTE.

MOTION PASSES FOUR, ZERO.

BEAUTIFUL.
