Matt Whitbeck, 5090 Independence Drive, and Andrea Tacxlol, of the Youth <br />Commission, thanked Council for its consideration. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico felt the Youth Commission had done an excellent job on the Policy, however <br />he had a few comments. The Vision Statement should be amended to add "maximizing <br />individual potential and development." The Policy should be amended in the first section. He <br />felt services and programs should go beyond meeting basic needs. The third bullet referring to <br />public/private partnership to meet youth needs should be plural (i.e., partnershipS). <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis believed the Vision Statement will evolve as it is reviewed by various <br />groups. She felt there were many opportunities for young people to become involved in <br />stimulating and influencing the adults in the community as well as the youth. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti appreciated the Council comments, but she felt this was the Vision <br />Statement authored by the Youth Commission and it should be its language. Council can make <br />suggestions, but the Statement should be in the Youth Commission's words. <br /> <br /> Ms. Bengtson felt that as the Statement and Policy are reviewed, that comments will be <br />taken into consideration for refining the document before presenting it to Council for final <br />adoption. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tarvet realized it takes a long time to create vision statements and policy documents <br />and cited other examples. He challenged the Youth Commission to create a method by which <br />it would know when it had met its goals. He appreciated all the work done so far. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Ms. Dennis, seconded by Ms. Michelotti, to accept the concept as <br />submitted and to direct staff to present the proposed Vision Statement and Youth Policy <br />to the Park and Recreation Commition, the Human Services Commission and Youth <br />Collaborative for review and comments and hold a public hearing before the Youth <br />Commition for public comment prior to returning the item to the City Council. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Ayala, Dennis, Michelotti, Pico, and Mayor Tarver <br />NOES: None <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAIN: None <br /> <br />Item 6c <br />Recommendation for CRy to Provide an Annual Pleasanton YOUth in Government Day, <br />(SR97:09) <br /> <br /> Dolores Bengtson presented the staff report. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if an outline for the program would be presented to Council7 <br /> <br /> 6 1/07/97 <br /> <br /> <br />
