BACKGROUND:
The San Mateo County Youth Commission (SMCYC) was established in 1993 to address the needs of youth in the county and provide youth with a voice in local government. The Commission consists of up to 27 members, between the ages of 13-21, who reside and attend school in San Mateo County.
The Youth Commission was created by the Board of Supervisors Resolution No 57588 adopted September 21, 1993, amended by Resolution 59609 on August 22, 1995, amended by Resolution 65027 on January 15, 2002. The members, the members’ terms, and the members’ duties are as set forth in the Board of Supervisors resolutions, and in the event of an inconsistency, such Board Resolutions, as such resolutions may be amended from time to time, will take precedence over these Rules.
The Youth Commission recently revisited and amended the Youth Commission Procedural Rules to better reflect their purpose and update their responsibilities, membership, and rules for governance.
DISCUSSION:
The Youth Commission is requesting Board of Supervisors’ approval for the resolution affirming the San Mateo County Youth Commission’s purpose and updating responsibilities, membership and standing rules for its governance.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
