Two proclamations, and our city manager, Matthew Tittister will be presenting those. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Very exciting to present these proclamations tonight. Our first proclamation is to recognize a really, really, I think important program here in the state of California. It's called Friday Night Live. And I'm just going to read a few key portions of the proclamation so people understand what this is about. So whereas the Friday Night Live program, which was established in 1984 as the model program for the state of California in engaging young people as active leaders in their communities to reduce underage alcohol use and address other challenges faced by their peers by building partnerships for positive youth development. And the Friday Night Live program engages youth partners from grade four through high school and beyond, ensuring that they benefit from the continued growth and enhancement of this youth-led youth-driven program and the unique opportunities it provides. Now therefore, be it known that the City Council of the City of Half Moon Bay does hereby recognize that the month of April 2026 be recognized as California Friday Night Live month and applauds Friday Night Live youth leaders and their adult allies who are committed to improving the quality of life for present and future generations. And I think they've got uh few words they want to share. So please awesome. Thank you. Good evening, Council members, council staff, and community members. My name is Ollali Quenka Kang, Bay Area Director of Programs at Youth Leadership Institute. It is my privilege to speak to you today on behalf of Half Moon Bay leaders about the city's proclamation of April as Friday Night Live Month. As a city manager mentioned, each year Friday Night Live Month serves as a statewide opportunity to elevate youth voices, highlight the impact of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention, and celebrate the powerful work of young people across communities and in California. More than a celebration, it is a coordinated effort to raise the profile of Friday Night Live, spotlight youth leadership, share accomplishments, and strengthen the partnerships that make our schools and communities safer. This year, youth leaders are tackling vaping. They have research and identify the harms and risks of vaping and their impact it has on their bodies, their mental health, and the environment. Part of their public health advocacy has included developing youth-centered public service announcements, classroom presentations at the Half Moon Bay High School, as well as developing a first of its kind healthy alternatives pledge that encourages youth to engage in activities that bring them joy to support their overall well-being, such as singing, dancing, playing cards, sports, creating art, and so much more. Our youth leaders thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to working with any member of the city council as well as any city department to further our advocacy efforts. Thank you. Thank you. Does anyone in the public have anything that they'd like to comment on or say? No, okay.
