The Rockville Youth Commission convened on September 15, 2026, at 4:08 PM to review goals for the 2025-2026 term and develop an action plan based on survey results. The meeting included reports from the chair and staff liaison, approval of previous minutes, and a substantial discussion on youth priorities and outreach strategies.
Okay, welcome everybody to the youth commission meeting. Today is Wednesday, November 12th, 2025, and I'm following the meeting to order at 4.08 p.m. So first we will start with the agenda review. So first we have welcome and convene. Next we have the agenda review. Community form. Then we have the approval of minutes from our previous meeting. Then we will move into a chair report, our staff liaison report, our council liaison report, and then we'll have a discussion of the youth commission goals for the 2025 to 2026 term. And then we'll go into action plan creation, all the new business, and then we will agenda. So that's the agenda review. We'll move into community form. Oh, there's no one here for community form. So we'll move into the approval of the minutes for the previous meeting. So you're all asked to um review them. And so we'll improve them. So do I have a motion to approve the minutes? I motion to approve the minutes. Still have a second or second that one. Thank you. Um, all in favor, say aye. Any opposed. Great. Okay. So the minutes have been approved from the previous meeting. Now we'll move into the chair report. Um, I don't really think I have that much to report today, is really when we're gonna get everything kick started, and then I might have a couple reports, but honestly, just like I said last meeting, just continue to build the relationships with your schools with your SGAs, find ways to get that survey out, and yeah, that's pretty much it for me. Um now we'll move into the staff liaison report. Um, we don't really have that much to report. Um, just to kind of give you guys some information in terms of what's going on within the city. Uh we just um released or published our new city website. Um it's revamped, rebranded. Um, so if you haven't seen it before, check it out. Um, in terms of our registration for our city programs, we are now allowing residents to register um for our city programs uh before non-residents. Um registration, I believe, starts on the second for residents, which is a Tuesday, and that Thursday for non-residents. Um, so that will be something that we will be doing starting the winter for the winter guide. Um, also if anybody's looking for some volunteer um opportunities, the city's the holiday drive going on right now. Um, so we can do a big food giveaway for Thanksgiving, and then at Christmas, it is good books and gifts and gift cards and things like that. Um, so you can go on the city's website and sign up for volunteerships for that if you're interested. That's it. Okay, so now we'll move into the council liaison report, and I do not believe council member Bile is present, so we'll table that for right now. And then so now we'll move into the discussion for the youth commission goals for the 2025 to 2026. So basically, I believe so. The youth commission first started, I think two years ago, just about relatively, yeah. So and there basically their goal was to create like the outline of like the rules we'll follow and sort of what the youth commission would do and be about. So that's what the first commission did. The second commission, which was me, Danielle, and Eli and our past year, and a few other commissioners. We worked on the survey, getting that survey out, creating it, and pushing it out to the community. That's the one that you guys have now that you've been sharing. So that basically second goal was to create a way to get voices. So for me now, I think that my goal um to serve is to make action with what they have given us from the survey.
