Quinlan Conf Room: Hey, Alex is gonna…
17
00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:26.620
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: one.
18
00:01:27.340 --> 00:01:28.550
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: You can all hear me?
19
00:01:29.850 --> 00:01:30.390
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Together.
20
00:01:30.670 --> 00:01:32.130
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Alright, well…
21
00:01:32.490 --> 00:01:41.689
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: As, was just mentioned, I am the
recreation Manager that oversees the Sports and Fitness Division, so I'll
be telling you more about that today.
22
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.289
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Whoops.
23
00:01:46.190 --> 00:01:49.529
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Let me see here… I clicked the wrong
share.
24
00:01:49.790 --> 00:01:50.920
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So sorry.
25
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.239
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Alright, let's try that again…
26
00:02:03.220 --> 00:02:12.059
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Alright, so the Sports and Fitness
Division, to give you a, overview of what we'll be talking about today,
we oversee the
27
00:02:12.370 --> 00:02:23.529
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Adult softball leagues that the city
offers, all the athletic fields and the permitting that goes along with
that, youth and adult sports and fitness classes, and the Cupertino
Sports Center.
28
00:02:25.450 --> 00:02:30.309
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So… For softball, in…
29
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:45.240
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Spring of 2024, we had… we were able
to offer 3 nights, of softball, so that was Monday, Tuesday, Friday
night, and had a total of 18 teams, and fall was basically the same with,
30
00:02:45.770 --> 00:02:46.970
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: three nights.
31
00:02:47.150 --> 00:03:01.109
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: and 19 teams. In 2025, we moved over
working with a contractor to run our adult softball leagues, and that
began with the spring 2025 season.
32
00:03:01.390 --> 00:03:09.260
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: It's about a $14,000 increase in
revenue, over 2024,
33
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:16.059
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Year-to-date, which is actually pretty
comprehensive in this, scenario.
34
00:03:16.340 --> 00:03:22.350
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So, in Summer 2025, we had,
35
00:03:24.250 --> 00:03:37.270
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: we had 6 teams and 70 people. The
Monday-Wednesday Combo League, we had 6 teams and 73 people, and Friday
we had 5 teams and 74 people.
36
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:57.739
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: I'm sorry, I think I skipped Spring
2025. In Spring 2025, Monday we had 4 teams and 38 people, Tuesday we had
9 teams and 136 people, and Friday we had 6 teams and 107 people. Then
jumping to fall, we were able to add another night, so we had Monday,
Wednesday.
37
00:03:57.780 --> 00:03:59.190
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Tuesday and Friday?
38
00:04:00.320 --> 00:04:12.910
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Monday we had 4 teams and 53 people.
Tuesday we had 11 teams and 160 people. Wednesday, we had 4 teams and 57
people, and Friday we had 5 teams and 54 people.
39
00:04:18.269 --> 00:04:27.440
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So, for athletic fields, it makes more
sense to compare permit hours than it does to compare,
40
00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:38.140
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: revenue for this one, because it… the
amount paid can be very variable, depending on the type of group. So, for
example, a…
41
00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:42.620
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Nonprofit group serving,
42
00:04:42.930 --> 00:04:58.650
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Children with Disabilities actually
doesn't pay, a permit fee, whereas on the extreme end, if you have an
adult for-profit, sports group, they could be paying about $60 an hour.
43
00:04:59.630 --> 00:05:01.440
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Now then,
44
00:05:03.530 --> 00:05:18.379
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: we are seeing, permit hours roughly on
par with last year. Change of number of hours one way or another means a
little bit less, with fields than it could for other things, because,
45
00:05:18.830 --> 00:05:22.950
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Permit hours can be heavily affected
by rain and field closures.
46
00:05:25.330 --> 00:05:43.270
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: The parks that we operate athletic
fields at are Creekside, Jollyman, Hoover, Library Field, Monta Vista,
and Wilson, and the schools that we operate fields at are Collins, Eaton,
Faria, Garden Gate, Hyde, Kennedy, Lincoln, Regnard, and Stevens Creek.
47
00:05:43.420 --> 00:05:52.410
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: It's 16 user groups, 27 fields in
total, and right now we have soccer, baseball, softball, cricket, and
volleyball.
48
00:05:56.110 --> 00:06:03.460
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So for youth and adult sports and
fitness, we have seen an increase in participation in adult fitness
classes.
49
00:06:03.700 --> 00:06:14.180
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: It's a 5.7% year-to-date increase. I
would like to mention that when I do say year-to-date, these numbers were
pulled at the end of November, early December.
50
00:06:17.950 --> 00:06:27.389
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We offered 131 class sessions
throughout the year, and 11 different classes. You can read the list on
the screen there.
51
00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:31.750
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: But tons of really,
52
00:06:32.410 --> 00:06:45.179
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Fantastic options, Balanced Core and
More, Hatha and Restorative Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Strength and Flow
Pilates, Yoga Lottis, Zumba, Line Dance is extremely popular, so that's…
that program's going well.
53
00:06:47.810 --> 00:06:50.999
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: For youth fitness and dance classes.
54
00:06:52.090 --> 00:07:09.899
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We did see an increase in
participation. We've gone up from about 1,100, participants in 2024 to,
about 13… almost 1,400. And as far as camps, we have had,
55
00:07:11.140 --> 00:07:21.179
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: a small decrease, so 11% year-to-date.
We offered 425 classes and camps, for youth.
56
00:07:21.510 --> 00:07:30.730
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So far this year, and 40 different
camps and classes. They cover things like archery, ballet, basketball,
gymnastics, hip-hop, soccer.
57
00:07:30.730 --> 00:07:47.450
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: all kinds of more things, but we have
the full list here. So, you can see we have a pretty large gymnastics
program, fair amount of, dance, and then sports. We have archery, multi-
sport, basketball, flag football.
58
00:07:49.170 --> 00:08:05.840
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: another multi-sport type class that's,
focused more on… on skills and conditioning, which is the RSVP camp.
Volleyball camp, lots of soccer, so wide variety of things for people to
get involved in.
59
00:08:06.830 --> 00:08:08.340
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: You specifically.
60
00:08:09.700 --> 00:08:17.609
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So, lifetime activities, classes, and
camps in, those are all held at the Cupertino Sports Center.
61
00:08:19.070 --> 00:08:36.859
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: There were exactly 7,000 participants
in 2024, and year-to-date 2025, it's a little over 6,100. They are just
about dead on pace with last year. They offer tennis, badminton, table
tennis, pickleball, basketball, chess, and private lessons for tennis.
62
00:08:37.150 --> 00:08:43.240
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: For youth, and then for adults, they
offer tennis, pickleball, private lessons for badminton, and tennis.
63
00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:50.980
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Alright.
64
00:08:52.540 --> 00:08:54.530
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Now, for…
65
00:08:56.450 --> 00:09:08.630
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: The Sports Center, we currently have
just shy of 1,900 active members, which is a 11.5% increase over 2024.
66
00:09:08.630 --> 00:09:19.639
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: As far as unique members, so that
means, like, maybe they had, a monthly pass over the summer and don't
have an active membership right now, or,
67
00:09:20.150 --> 00:09:36.360
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: you know, we have a fair number of
members that spend part of the year here and part of the year in another
part of the U.S. or another country, and so maybe they don't have a year-
round membership, so… unique people. We had, 2,900 last year and just
over 3,000 this year.
68
00:09:38.570 --> 00:09:41.260
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Member check-ins.
69
00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:54.340
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We had 117,562 in 2024, and year-to-
date for 2025 is 111,464.
70
00:09:54.820 --> 00:10:05.900
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: And, tennis participation is measured
in number of reservations, that are made throughout the year, so…
71
00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:11.310
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We are just about dead on pace with
last year, with…
72
00:10:11.520 --> 00:10:30.239
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: last year being just under 29,000,
participants, and current year-to-date number being, excuse me, not
participants, just under 29,000 reservations. And in 2025, so far, we
have had 25,656 reservations.
73
00:10:32.170 --> 00:10:32.980
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Rick?
74
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:53.360
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So, fitness classes at the
SportsCenter are included as part of your membership, by and large,
except for certain specialty classes, which I'll get to in a moment. In
2024, we had 24,100 participants. So far in 25, we've had 23,428
participants.
75
00:10:54.900 --> 00:10:58.179
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Or through November, we had that
number.
76
00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:09.219
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We offer over 20 fitness classes per
week, and over 1,000 per year. That includes Bombay Jam, Boot Camp,
Cardio Pilates, Full Body Strength, and HIIT.
77
00:11:09.330 --> 00:11:22.080
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Strength and conditioning, TRX, Yoga,
Zumba, and more. We're always trying to add or tweak our class schedule
to keep things fresh, so… always new things going on.
78
00:11:23.190 --> 00:11:29.980
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Just as an example, this is what the
fitness schedule looked like for last month. So you can see we have a lot
of
79
00:11:30.730 --> 00:11:33.440
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: A lot of options, every day.
80
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.440
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: And that's… these are all included as
part of the membership.
81
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:53.970
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So, a very exciting development, is
that we have just opened a newly renovated, personal training studio. In
2024, we had,
82
00:11:55.130 --> 00:11:57.060
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: 1,408.
83
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.540
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Personal training sessions sold. This
year.
84
00:12:01.910 --> 00:12:12.770
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Up through November, we had almost
1,900 personal training sessions sold, and that is over a 50% increase
over prior year.
85
00:12:12.970 --> 00:12:29.770
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We've seen a large growth since the
pandemic. We were able to increase our roster up to 5 trainers. Having
the studio does help alleviate crowding in the gym, because with so many
people signing up for personal training, obviously that would mean
86
00:12:29.770 --> 00:12:39.910
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: a lot of people taking up a lot of
space in the gym. It's quieter and more comfortable for clients, and we
are now also able to offer semi-private training.
87
00:12:39.910 --> 00:12:52.400
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So, which is 2 to 3 people. And we are
actually seeing… I anecdotally have noticed that that seems to be, pretty
popular with youth clientele.
88
00:12:57.950 --> 00:13:11.809
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: And so here's just some more
information about our personal trainers. I know I said we increased our
wester to 5. We did, and now one has moved out of the area, so we're back
down to 4, hoping to get it back up to 5, just so that we can…
89
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:19.859
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Keep responding to all the inquiries
we're getting for personal training. But lots of fantastic trainers on
staff.
90
00:13:22.010 --> 00:13:39.470
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So, now, those specialty classes I
mentioned earlier, we started those in fall of 2025. They're groups of 4
to 10 people, whereas the ones that are part of the membership, that are
held in the large multi-purpose room gym, can get up to about 50 people.
91
00:13:39.550 --> 00:13:57.549
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: These are more focused classes, more
specialized, and we are offering Barbell Boot Camp, Bodybuilding 101,
Strength and Agility, Brain Body Boost, Burn and Sculpt Slim Down
Athletic, or excuse me, Athletic Performance Training, Running Clinic,
and Morning Metabolizers.
92
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:08.849
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: That's what the flyer looks like for
that, lots of information. I believe you all got the agenda packet, so if
you're interested in any of them, you can just scan the QR code.
93
00:14:10.900 --> 00:14:14.259
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: And, with that, do you have any
questions for me?
94
00:14:23.450 --> 00:14:39.249
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): questions from the Commission, and also,
just as a very quick reminder, the Teen Commission is an advisory body,
so it's helpful if we're able to offer our team perspective, through
questions and comments, so feel free to ask and
95
00:14:39.250 --> 00:14:43.989
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Add on to anything that our great manager
presented on today?
96
00:14:43.990 --> 00:14:47.229
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, we're going for questions now, is
there anything?
97
00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:54.219
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I did have a question. Thank you
very much for your presentation. Do you plan on having any, like, new.
98
00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:59.480
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): additions or have any sort of planning,
for the new year, 2026, to maintain
99
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:16.720
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): this upward trajectory, especially, I
believe, in the dance and… in the youth dance and fitness camps, I
noticed that there was, like, a decrease in the participation, so I was
wondering if you had, any plan for, like, the new year to make sure you
maintain this upward trajectory that you had with your other programs.
100
00:15:17.210 --> 00:15:22.479
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We're always looking to try to, make
sure that our offerings are…
101
00:15:23.550 --> 00:15:28.880
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: fresh and keeping an eye out for new
things that we could be offering. We're currently working with
102
00:15:29.330 --> 00:15:45.350
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: some potential contractors to try to
bring on some things that are pretty new and not widely offered in this…
in the South Bay in general. So that always helps. The only thing we had
a decrease in was in camps, and we,
103
00:15:46.470 --> 00:16:02.509
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: we… there's a contractor that we no
longer work with that accounts for some of that drop. It actually could
have dropped a lot more and didn't, so that's still… that still looks
like a pretty good number with that context.
104
00:16:02.510 --> 00:16:06.759
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: But yeah, just trying to keep offering
things that interest people.
105
00:16:07.880 --> 00:16:09.040
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, thank you.
106
00:16:10.050 --> 00:16:15.449
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, like, in your presentation, I may be
wrong about this, but I heard you say.
107
00:16:15.450 --> 00:16:22.060
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): That, you got $40,000 in revenue after
switching to a contractor for, softball, is that correct?
108
00:16:22.060 --> 00:16:24.369
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: 14. 14, 1, 4.
109
00:16:24.950 --> 00:16:33.419
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. Have you looked to, using a
contractor for other sports, such as basketball, or, like, flag football?
110
00:16:33.990 --> 00:16:36.419
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Most of our programs are contracted.
111
00:16:36.630 --> 00:16:49.070
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Spot… softball is, its own special…
its own special thing. It's a very interesting niche program.
112
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.910
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: And…
113
00:16:52.110 --> 00:17:02.290
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: it's traditionally run directly
through a city. If you look at surrounding cities, it's very common that
it's directly run by the city.
114
00:17:03.340 --> 00:17:04.520
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: However.
115
00:17:05.089 --> 00:17:20.920
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: there's a lot of things that make it
really difficult to run in-house when you only have one field, and we
only have one field, only one lit field. Whereas when you're looking at
somewhere like San Jose that has the Acadia ballpark, they have lots of
fields at,
116
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:36.609
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: that scale makes it easier for them to
run in-house, but it made sense for us to go with a contractor. But when
you're looking at things like our classes and camps in the sports arena,
they're all contractors.
117
00:17:40.590 --> 00:17:41.390
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, me…
118
00:17:41.520 --> 00:17:48.030
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Looking at, like, the numbers for the
Catino SportsCenter in terms of, like, the kind of memberships that we're
looking at.
119
00:17:48.450 --> 00:17:51.370
Quinlan Conf Room: And I noticed, like, a large number of, like, what was
the.
120
00:17:51.373 --> 00:17:52.913
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): as unique members?
121
00:17:53.830 --> 00:17:58.849
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not entirely sure of, like, I wasn't quite
sure on what you meant by unique members, but…
122
00:17:59.030 --> 00:18:03.120
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm guessing a lot of that has to do with
the fact that either they don't show up.
123
00:18:03.340 --> 00:18:07.789
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or they, like, canceled their program at
some point throughout the year, so it's like…
124
00:18:08.290 --> 00:18:11.710
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): That was quite a big number compared to,
like, the number of active leadership.
125
00:18:11.820 --> 00:18:23.580
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Yeah, so active numbers… members is a
snapshot in time. So when that report was run, I don't have the number in
front of me anymore, it was 1,800-something, I think, members.
126
00:18:23.860 --> 00:18:28.869
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: And that's just a snapshot of when
that report was run. But if you look at the entire year.
127
00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:38.909
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: as a whole, those unique members, you
might have somebody that was holding an active membership in January,
February, March, and maybe…
128
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:44.320
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: You know, maybe that's somebody that
spends summers…
129
00:18:44.660 --> 00:18:57.409
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: you know, with family in another
state, or whatever it is, or we have… we will have students that'll…
that'll come home for the summer, right, and get a membership at the
SportsCenter. Or, they have a New Year's resolution.
130
00:18:57.580 --> 00:19:05.290
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: And maybe it doesn't pan out for them,
so they were a member in January, and then they didn't continue to be a
member, or whatever it may be.
131
00:19:05.690 --> 00:19:18.669
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We have people that only live part of
the year in this area, and so they're only a member for part of the year.
So that's how you get that big difference between unique members and
active memberships.
132
00:19:24.910 --> 00:19:41.950
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. I had some questions. I was
wondering, for the SportsCenter, the membership numbers looked really
great. So, what does the SportsCenter include, like, in terms of services
and everything? Like, I know we talked about, like, classes and, like,
tennis courts, I think.
133
00:19:42.310 --> 00:19:46.010
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is that, all, or is there, like, influence
as well?
134
00:19:46.610 --> 00:19:55.730
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Yes, so we have, at the SportsCenter,
17 lighted tennis courts, A ball machine.
135
00:19:56.080 --> 00:19:57.850
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We have pickleball courts.
136
00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:59.449
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We have…
137
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:11.029
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: our big multi-purpose room gym, which
is where we hold all the free-to-members fitness classes, which is
another amenity. And as you saw on that list, we're offering
138
00:20:11.030 --> 00:20:21.309
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: like, at least 20 classes a week that
you can just drop into, no need to pre-register, you can just show up for
Zumba or strength training or whatever you want, that day.
139
00:20:21.330 --> 00:20:29.220
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: So those are all amenities. The gym
itself, obviously, is an amenity. Access to personal training.
140
00:20:30.940 --> 00:20:32.550
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Those are all the big things.
141
00:20:33.670 --> 00:20:34.750
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: And then…
142
00:20:35.030 --> 00:20:40.960
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: As well, we have the programs run by
Lifetime, though you're not required to be a member to take a class with
Lifetime.
143
00:20:42.100 --> 00:20:48.180
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, sounds good. And for this
membership, is there any age limit, or can anyone register?
144
00:20:49.390 --> 00:20:56.900
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Yeah, for example, anyone on the Teen
Commission is absolutely eligible to register.
145
00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:59.120
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, there's…
146
00:21:00.050 --> 00:21:04.869
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: yeah, there's no lower age limit. We
do have restrictions on what
147
00:21:05.300 --> 00:21:10.479
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Certain age ranges are allowed to
participate in without a parent present.
148
00:21:13.560 --> 00:21:14.459
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): That sounds great.
149
00:21:14.710 --> 00:21:20.910
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, that's all my questions. If there
are no more questions, I have a question.
150
00:21:20.910 --> 00:21:23.599
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'd like to ask about your team summer
membership.
151
00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:31.149
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Do you guys have, like, free programs for
teens? Because I know that YMCA also does, like, free summer. Do you guys
also have.
152
00:21:31.310 --> 00:21:41.059
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: We do not have free memberships. We do
have student memberships, which are very much reduced in price, and
showing a high school.
153
00:21:41.260 --> 00:21:42.380
Quinlan Conf Room: Schedule.
154
00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:45.189
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Would suffice to get that membership.
155
00:21:50.840 --> 00:21:53.389
Quinlan Conf Room: Looks like there's no crystals.
156
00:21:54.340 --> 00:21:55.870
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there any public comment?
157
00:21:56.280 --> 00:22:03.360
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have no speakers in person, and no
hands raised on signature. Okay, great. Are there any comments from the
Commission?
158
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:24.399
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, I just, had a quick comment. I heard
you saying to Commissioner Prakash that you're always, like, looking to,
like, continue expanding into classes and things like that, so if you
were, by any chance, you know, thinking about, like, getting feedback for
any teen or youth-focused programs, we would love to hear from you and
maybe
159
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:28.150
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): have the Commission provide some comments,
if that would be helpful.
160
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.350
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Oh, wonderful, thank you very much.
161
00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:36.340
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can I just add clarification? This is a
great opportunity if you have
162
00:22:36.390 --> 00:22:55.800
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): comments or suggestions, this is the time.
We have the manager here, and this is your advisory, so, that's part of
why she presented the program. And then, if you want to give the team
perspective, this is a great opportunity rather than a future date. We
have her here if you have any comments.
163
00:22:56.120 --> 00:22:58.200
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now's the time to give them.
164
00:22:58.610 --> 00:23:13.419
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll just add that, I know a lot of people
from my school, they saw in the weekly newsletter from our, like,
principal that there are free memberships at YMCA, so if you wanted to
advertise through there, that would be a great option to get membership
on.
165
00:23:14.100 --> 00:23:14.740
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Yeah.
166
00:23:16.850 --> 00:23:35.429
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, and I personally was not aware that
there were, like, student discounts on memberships, so I think getting
that out would be great, because I know, at least in high school,
especially amongst juniors and seniors, everyone's trying to get, like, a
gym membership, and it's cool that the Cupertino city has one, so…
167
00:23:35.430 --> 00:23:37.999
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Maybe, like, as you said.
168
00:23:38.040 --> 00:23:42.870
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Some high school-focused outreach could be
really successful for those programs.
169
00:23:43.280 --> 00:23:44.630
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Yeah, absolutely.
170
00:23:48.450 --> 00:23:50.629
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's no more comments,
171
00:23:51.010 --> 00:23:56.259
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think that's it for this agenda item.
Thank you so much for presenting today.
172
00:23:56.260 --> 00:23:57.800
Alex Corbalis, Recreation Manager: Absolutely, thank you all.
173
00:24:05.360 --> 00:24:20.699
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, we can move on to the next item,
that's approval of minutes. Subject is approval of minutes, November 12,
2025. Recommended action is review and approve the minutes from the
Commission meeting on November 12, 2025.
174
00:24:21.020 --> 00:24:24.120
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): One should have… Object.
175
00:26:03.540 --> 00:26:11.139
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): If everyone's finished reading, I will
call for a motion to approve these minutes.
176
00:26:12.210 --> 00:26:13.600
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): 13 minutes.
177
00:26:13.950 --> 00:26:16.659
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there a second? Second.
178
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.170
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'll hand it over to Lindsay for the
vote.
179
00:26:21.540 --> 00:26:22.989
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Hsu?
180
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:25.790
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
181
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:28.770
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Prakash? Yes.
182
00:26:29.590 --> 00:26:31.500
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Lau? Yes.
183
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:33.559
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Kumar? Yes.
184
00:26:33.810 --> 00:26:45.490
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Lombi? Yes. Commissioner Gao?
Yes. Commissioner Deshma? Yes. Vice Chair Liu? Yes. Chair Misra? Yes. The
motion carries unanimously.
185
00:26:47.230 --> 00:26:49.600
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, great.
186
00:26:49.600 --> 00:26:59.369
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, moving on to postponements, we have
none. Moving on to oral communications, lindsay, are there any…
187
00:27:00.950 --> 00:27:03.649
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): No speakers, and we all need to embrace
those.
188
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:09.530
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, thank you. Written communications,
are there any written communications?
189
00:27:09.800 --> 00:27:13.629
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, no, sorry, we have no written cage.
Okay.
190
00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:31.119
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And old business, there is none. New
business, we do have some. So our next item is Subject Youth-led
organization highlight program, and recommended action is to discuss and
provide feedback on current youth-led organization highlight program.
191
00:27:31.230 --> 00:27:35.389
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And this is something that we were talking
about last meeting, so…
192
00:27:35.660 --> 00:27:38.259
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll hand it over to Sonia for a report.
193
00:27:39.670 --> 00:27:40.310
Quinlan Conf Room: mates.
194
00:27:40.310 --> 00:27:44.389
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, sorry, and… That's good, you're… take
your time.
195
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:45.890
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Period.
196
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:47.859
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, sorry.
197
00:27:48.970 --> 00:27:51.859
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, thank you. I am…
198
00:27:52.240 --> 00:28:02.539
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): taking the feedback from a meeting or two
ago, where we, had a discussion about a YLO highlight, and
199
00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:06.639
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There were some comments about maybe we
could,
200
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:20.770
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): skew how we evaluate, or just look at how
we evaluate, and so I'm kind of putting this back in front of the group,
because, you… this particular, commission was not…
201
00:28:20.770 --> 00:28:28.049
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): But the same commission when we started
the program. So, we're putting it back in front of you to get some
feedback on it.
202
00:28:28.470 --> 00:28:38.609
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so we're going to review the YLO
highlight program, review the evaluation criteria, and have some feedback
and discussion on the process.
203
00:28:40.630 --> 00:28:42.500
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So…
204
00:28:42.500 --> 00:29:01.000
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): This program has been set up to offer a
pathway for organizations to get the word out about what they do, not
only through the presentation, which is livestreamed for anybody that
might be interested and is watching, but through the actual highlight,
which is a post on our social media.
205
00:29:01.080 --> 00:29:03.290
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then…
206
00:29:03.760 --> 00:29:15.160
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Teen commissioners should always be
assisting, and this will be our next agenda item as well, but assisting
and promoting those resources that are available to teens in the
community.
207
00:29:17.610 --> 00:29:41.230
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. We have a flyer, it's probably time
that I get the flyer kind of back out there, but it is also online that
anybody can go to the Teen Commission page, and they can apply straight
from there. But, it's time for us to kind of get it back out there. We
sort of had a steady stream for a while, where we were getting, like, one
a meeting, and that's been
208
00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:51.249
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that's pretty good to have, like, one
presentation and, an evaluation per meeting. But I'd love to hear from
more. And so…
209
00:29:51.250 --> 00:29:56.099
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a flyer, we have the eligibility
requirements.
210
00:29:56.260 --> 00:29:59.149
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we kind of have a process set up.
211
00:30:01.500 --> 00:30:08.809
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Eligibility… when we first started out, we
talked about that it can't just be
212
00:30:08.810 --> 00:30:22.610
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): like any nonprofit organization in the
community, like, there are several that, say, apply for community
funding, and they are serving teens sometimes, but they're not run by
youth, and so
213
00:30:22.870 --> 00:30:28.030
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): YLO youth-led organization. We want it run
by, teens.
214
00:30:28.130 --> 00:30:38.079
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They should serve primarily Cupertino
residents, in the community, but we've certainly allowed for some,
215
00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:53.740
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): consideration of people that are serving
broader areas. And they should be active for at least 6 months. Just to
speak to that, we wanted to make sure that we didn't have a lot of
applications from somebody, and I know that
216
00:30:53.760 --> 00:31:12.090
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Being in high school and middle school in
this area, you've all seen that, people will get an idea and try to start
up a club. And, we didn't want anybody that's, like, in the early stages
of their club. We wanted, kind of, proven youth-led organizations to come
and present to us.
217
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:24.339
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then they must come and present to
you. So, if they want that highlight from you, they must come in front of
you and present and be here in person to answer questions.
218
00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:32.590
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Some of our evaluation criteria is what
kind of community impact does the organization have.
219
00:31:32.660 --> 00:31:47.620
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): what kind of presence in the community,
and what kind of engagement they have with the community. A big one is
the establishment and plans for longevity. If it's an organization, for
instance, where
220
00:31:47.620 --> 00:32:04.919
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): just one person has started it, and
they're doing a couple of programs, and there's no plans for, after they
graduate from high school, then that's something that we want to look at,
is if they, meet our criteria.
221
00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:08.639
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then also the originality,
222
00:32:08.770 --> 00:32:24.480
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that's also a big one, because we'll kind
of start to see, I know Mr. Kaufman and I both see that a lot from just
people making contact with us and wanting to partner with the city, but
it's things that we're already doing, or things that
223
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:30.739
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's not necessarily a need, because
it's not that original, or it's being offered in several other
organizations.
224
00:32:33.890 --> 00:32:51.979
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So the general process to get that
highlight is they submit an application, through forms, and again, that's
on the team commission page. Then the staff liaison, me, I contact them
and schedule a time for them to come to present to you at the Commission
meeting.
225
00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:53.970
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then,
226
00:32:53.970 --> 00:33:13.079
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have the following meeting, but we've
had several that have happened in the same night, and that actually seems
to have worked, better. Originally, we thought we would have them present
once, and then the next time they would, we would make an evaluation, but
it has been working better to have all of that happen in the same
evening.
227
00:33:13.100 --> 00:33:18.869
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So you evaluate the application and
approve or disapprove for highlight on social media.
228
00:33:22.180 --> 00:33:27.869
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So your process is that you receive the
presentations,
229
00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:43.209
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Everybody's been very good about knowing
what the criteria is beforehand, knowing the kinds of questions that we
want answered, and asking those questions when they give their
presentation, to make sure that they meet the criteria.
230
00:33:43.210 --> 00:33:55.780
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): To evaluate the applications, and when we
do the evaluation, I usually just take all the information from the
application, and that's presented to you in a, presentation.
231
00:33:55.780 --> 00:33:58.759
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then to approve or disapprove the
application.
232
00:34:03.430 --> 00:34:06.850
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and then…
233
00:34:07.190 --> 00:34:31.860
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): the presentation night is your chance to
gather the information, which is why it has been working better to do the
full process in the same night, because it's on your mind. We did figure
out in the first couple times that we had planned on doing the evaluation
in the following meeting, we would sort of forget in between what their
answers were. But when you have the presentation, you ask your questions,
and then just
234
00:34:32.150 --> 00:34:36.509
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): A few minutes later, our evaluation, that
seemed to work out better.
235
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:40.860
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so that's our overall process.
236
00:34:41.110 --> 00:35:05.810
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): What I wanted to do is to, one, readdress,
we had started to get into some kind of conversation about possibly in
our YLO process, we could change. And, I sort of stopped that discussion
and said we would put it on the agenda for a future item. So this is sort
of your chance to come back and
237
00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:10.189
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Give some more feedback, on the whole
process.
238
00:35:10.550 --> 00:35:30.750
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would like to know from you what, you
can do as commissioners to kind of get the word out about the YLO
program, and get more organizations coming in and presenting to you, and
just kind of getting the word out about their, their resources for teens
in the community.
239
00:35:30.750 --> 00:35:36.670
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I will turn it back over to the chair,
and you can maybe run a discussion.
240
00:35:37.340 --> 00:35:37.970
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sure.
241
00:35:38.180 --> 00:35:55.220
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you, Sonia, for that great
presentation. I think we all needed a refresh of exactly what the
criteria are, so that was super helpful. If you want to see what the sort
of ideas we bought up last meeting, I think they're on page 3 of the
drafts of the minutes we just reviewed.
242
00:35:56.570 --> 00:36:00.870
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): That might help us get started, kind of
pick up where we left off.
243
00:36:02.940 --> 00:36:06.889
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's all try to… Give our…
244
00:36:07.030 --> 00:36:20.949
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): opinions on what we think about this
program, because I think all of us have, like, a very distinct viewpoint.
Like, for example, I'm from Cupertino High School, but maybe there's,
like, some sort of Mona Vista culture that I'm completely unbeknownst to.
So,
245
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:31.089
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I can start with something that I had in
mind. I think one thing we should do, to the YLO program is increase the
amount of
246
00:36:31.270 --> 00:36:37.909
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): recognition that the clubs are getting,
because that will make it more, I guess…
247
00:36:37.950 --> 00:36:52.619
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): it would make it more beneficial to the
club or the organization, to have something beyond, like, an Instagram
post. As we heard from Tino Echo last meeting, if you guys remember, I
think
248
00:36:52.730 --> 00:37:11.729
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): we were also discussing about how, given
the fact that their membership seems to be sort of dwindling, maybe the
YLO highlight didn't do as much as we had hoped or expected in really
highlighting these organizations to the community, and for that reason, I
was kind of thinking about expanding the subscription package.
249
00:37:12.140 --> 00:37:16.540
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, are there any more ideas? Please just
feel free to add them.
250
00:37:16.545 --> 00:37:22.434
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm just gonna really go over the list we
came up with last time in order. I think one of the big things about.
251
00:37:22.435 --> 00:37:32.105
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): to making while more successful as a
program is selectivity in a very competitive environment, such as
Cupertino, the selectivity is especially what nonprofits,
252
00:37:32.205 --> 00:37:43.355
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): organizations in general go for to get
something that's a more selective endorsement or recognition from the
city, I think would be more valuable than just a social… more than just a
social media post.
253
00:37:43.465 --> 00:37:58.564
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): On that note, on selectivity, I think, two
ways to increase that. So, first is to open it up to, I guess, more… I
was thinking, not just non-profit organizations, but for instance, school
clubs. If a school club does exceptional community service, I think
254
00:37:58.565 --> 00:38:11.034
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): they should have just as much of a chance
for recognition as any organization. So, and then, I think also another
part of selectivity would then be to limit the amount of recognition we
give out, for instance, one per month.
255
00:38:11.425 --> 00:38:27.615
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): On that note, if school clubs are allowed
in that… in the YLO program, then I think that's a very clean path to
increasing knowledge about YLO, which would be to work through school's
ASBs, which usually run the clubs. They would get work very quickly, and
I think
256
00:38:27.755 --> 00:38:38.344
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Of course, then, if it's… if we can
directly tie it to clubs… if we allow clubs, that means, we can also
access, like, school… like, school's principal and have them, message
257
00:38:38.375 --> 00:38:49.595
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): email the clubs, and, on that note, then,
increasing incentives. I think what, you were talking about was an
excellent point, just increasing, just, not just the social media posts.
258
00:38:49.765 --> 00:39:03.314
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think last time we brought up a couple
ideas, like, certificates, endorsements, from, like, for example, giving
them a social media post, it's good, but I'm not actually sure how many,
students especially follow the city social media posts.
259
00:39:03.315 --> 00:39:15.985
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So I'm thinking of… so, for example, if we
gave them instead a certificate or an endorsement, I'm reasonably sure
they would happily plaster it all over their own advertising platforms,
endorsed by the City of Cupertino, or, Juan Wildo, or something like
that.
260
00:39:15.985 --> 00:39:29.354
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): or perhaps we have some sort of in-person
certificate presentations they can get a photo op to. The point is just
to increase the benefits, increase the pool of applicants, and lower… and
limit the amount we can,
261
00:39:29.515 --> 00:39:38.515
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): limit the amount of YLO highlights we give
out. So, in general, to increase selectivity… in that increased
selectivity makes it more attractive to, potential applicants.
262
00:39:39.855 --> 00:39:42.035
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I think, that's a really.
263
00:39:42.040 --> 00:40:04.449
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): good point about, like, especially, like,
Charlie's idea about, using, like, school-based things and, like,
reaching out and collaborating with ASD to see if clubs are interested. I
do have one clarifying question, like, when you mean YLO, are we
specifically looking at, like, actually, like, signed nonprofits, or
could it be any sort of, like, youth
264
00:40:04.450 --> 00:40:05.480
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Gladly.
265
00:40:05.740 --> 00:40:07.520
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): COVID outright. Yeah, that's.
266
00:40:07.525 --> 00:40:19.874
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's a really great question, because, I
wanted to clarify, it's open to school organizations right now. It's any
youth-led organization, so if there's a… give me a school club at your
267
00:40:20.155 --> 00:40:37.714
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): at your school, it's probably open to
them. So if they're serving, you know, especially if it's a club in a
Cupertino high school, they're serving, most likely, a good portion of
Cupertino teens. So, it's open right now.
268
00:40:38.275 --> 00:40:55.205
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, then I think it's really important
that, like, we take advantage of that, because I know, like, lots of
clubs, especially in Monta Vista, there's, like, a really, like, sort of
competitive club culture, or, like, there's a lot of, like, really large
organizations which are doing, like, really big things at our schools, so
I think
269
00:40:55.205 --> 00:41:06.594
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): One thing that, like, our school and our
district has is, like, newsletters, so maybe if we could publicize it,
saying that, oh, like, Cupertino Team Commission is handing out, like,
youth-led organizations
270
00:41:06.595 --> 00:41:19.814
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): highlights this applies to any club, so,
like, clubs can apply for it for, like, recognition. And then, having
some sort of certificate, I think, would also be good, sort of, like, as
an award for,
271
00:41:20.375 --> 00:41:24.274
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): The youth, like, organizations to put as,
like, some sort of achievement.
272
00:41:24.565 --> 00:41:25.765
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): See ya.
273
00:41:25.770 --> 00:41:48.730
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Adding onto what Sumeda and Harley said,
like, I think basing… basing it off of a school club is, like, a good
idea, because, like, if you start a club in, like, school, like, I think
it's kind of hard to go somewhere from there, but, like, say if you apply
for, like, a highlight from, from the Teen Commission, right? Then, like,
people will know more about your club, and then, like, you can start
doing other stuff.
274
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:57.830
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess one of the things is that we're
talking a lot about clubs, and obviously, I do completely support the
idea that we bring it more towards
275
00:41:58.070 --> 00:42:01.170
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): places that students are most of the time.
Schools.
276
00:42:01.410 --> 00:42:06.500
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): on their clubs, but again, I'm not really
sure how many of these clubs
277
00:42:06.640 --> 00:42:12.369
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): are actually going out of their way to
help the city of Cupertino as much as they are their own members.
278
00:42:12.930 --> 00:42:17.110
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, for example, let's take the example
of Speech Club. Obviously, it isn't, like.
279
00:42:17.220 --> 00:42:24.180
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): The perfect suitor for this, but… it's
quite hard for me to imagine a speech club meeting a lot of these
criteria.
280
00:42:25.610 --> 00:42:49.950
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I feel like there's a lot of, like, this
may… I understand that it may not apply to, like, certain clubs, like,
speech, it's more of, like, a school within, like, competition-based
thing, but, for example, my school is FBOA chapter. We do a lot of
projects and, like, community service partnerships with, business or,
like, state projects out in the community. And there's also other clubs,
like, you know, Red Cross and other, like.
281
00:42:50.090 --> 00:43:03.610
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): and Octagon, other, like, volunteering
organizations that could apply, but yeah, I definitely understand your
point, how clubs, it's only, like, a select number, it's not really too
big of a pool that we can tell you, but…
282
00:43:04.580 --> 00:43:14.509
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, even if their club isn't really
based on, like, helping Cupertino in that sense that we're going for, we
still have this screening process to make sure, so I think it's okay.
283
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:22.519
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think, like, a huge part of the Euclid
organization highlights is that we're trying to showcase the things youth
in our community.
284
00:43:22.520 --> 00:43:34.819
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): community are doing to make a difference
on it. So, if clubs are, like, making a difference to the members, then
they should, like, be eligible for this highlight. But…
285
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:48.900
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): for them, like, I don't know how useful
just a highlight would be, because they probably have already highlighted
their club to the school, and since other members who are not, like, from
their school can't really join, like, the club.
286
00:43:49.340 --> 00:43:58.189
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I feel like it'd be more, like, helpful
for them to add, like, an award, so that they could say that their club
earned an award from the city of Copatillo.
287
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:13.160
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think that's kind of similar to, like,
the letter of commendation from, like, the mayors that, like, people get,
like, at school. For, like, FBLA projects, they would get those from
mayors, so maybe we can have something adjacent to that for the team.
288
00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:18.850
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's great to know. I wasn't aware that
FBLA Projects did get that. I think that would,
289
00:44:19.140 --> 00:44:21.379
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Give us a good thing to sort of go off of?
290
00:44:22.780 --> 00:44:32.110
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Koshner's guide, so did you have anything
else to add on? I feel like you should know, like, what the extent of,
like, what we can do. Like, like, are we able to, like.
291
00:44:32.110 --> 00:44:41.079
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): request stuff from, like, the mayor like
this? Or, like, is it possible to have, like, these types of, like,
awards given out to, like.
292
00:44:41.350 --> 00:44:46.930
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): for example, just for, like, why I alone,
like, I feel like pretending, though, like, to, like.
293
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:51.279
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): What place, like, what can you get out
to?
294
00:44:52.060 --> 00:45:01.419
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, that… do you want me to answer the
question? That's a really great question, and, I would say that that ebbs
and flows with, our current
295
00:45:01.420 --> 00:45:15.520
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): council and our current mayor, which that
changes usually annually. So, you know, that's a possibility, but it does
make it a little bit more tricky to tie that to something there. But as
far as, like.
296
00:45:15.870 --> 00:45:26.379
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): A certificate that, you know, that would
be something that would be easy to implement, because we could make it a
team commission certificate of
297
00:45:26.940 --> 00:45:35.119
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): accommodation. So, yeah, if you think of
things that we can kind of control, then we can make those things happen
easier.
298
00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:42.109
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was also thinking,
299
00:45:42.600 --> 00:45:46.670
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, a certificate. The main goal of this
is.
300
00:45:46.670 --> 00:45:48.069
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just to help, like.
301
00:45:48.240 --> 00:46:05.629
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): broadcast the organizations to more
people and a wider audience, right? So, I was thinking, even if we, like,
issued a certificate or something, we still have the issue of, like, how
to spread the word of this, because
302
00:46:05.630 --> 00:46:11.569
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): again, I'm not sure how effective, like,
our, like, the…
303
00:46:12.160 --> 00:46:18.279
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): social media accounts are, and other ways
to… so, like, I'm not sure if there's…
304
00:46:18.410 --> 00:46:20.259
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any other way to help?
305
00:46:20.780 --> 00:46:26.909
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, spread the word about these
organizations. I'm not sure, but was there, like, a weekly or something?
306
00:46:26.915 --> 00:46:28.495
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Little Mayor's email.
307
00:46:28.615 --> 00:46:34.724
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm not sure, because I remember
receiving, like, a mayor's email sometimes. Would it be possible for,
like.
308
00:46:34.935 --> 00:46:47.535
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): as a footnote on those emails, to have,
like, maybe, like, the organization that we're highlighting is a sent for
one of them? Or is that, like, something that's in our control? It's
definitely something I can.
309
00:46:47.535 --> 00:46:55.035
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): look at, and it's just the same answer, it
just sort of depends. But I'm…
310
00:46:55.735 --> 00:47:00.655
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have some other ideas that I wanna… I'll
look at and get back to you guys.
311
00:47:01.335 --> 00:47:06.184
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): some city stuff. I don't want to say them,
just in case I can't make it happen.
312
00:47:07.300 --> 00:47:26.790
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think, Commissioners, you brought up a
great question. I think all of us, from what I'm gathering, kind of agree
on the fact that maybe we need to just expand, or just more for whoever
wins these highlights. But yeah, we should definitely look at what we can
expand it to.
313
00:47:27.820 --> 00:47:37.330
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): We can talk more about exactly what we,
like, have in mind, like, maybe, like, certificates, as we said, or,
like, letters of commendation, as you brought up.
314
00:47:37.500 --> 00:47:44.650
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just want to quickly address
Commissioner Daishmuk's point, which was a great point. I thought what
you were sort of getting at is, like.
315
00:47:44.900 --> 00:48:00.249
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): many… maybe most school clubs maybe won't
be, like, eligible to apply, because, as you said, they're serving, like,
their own members, or focusing on competitions and things like that, but
I think,
316
00:48:00.510 --> 00:48:03.570
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): what Angu brought up was that
317
00:48:03.870 --> 00:48:18.450
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): just sort of looking at the clubs, school
clubs that are eligible, and going through ASB, which is a pretty
established and official kind of body to get the word out among schools,
would be a good idea, because I think
318
00:48:18.670 --> 00:48:21.850
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I haven't seen… Any…
319
00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:35.589
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, purely school-based clubs apply, I
think, for a YLO highlight. So maybe we're just, like, missing a whole,
like, pool of applicants that could be applying? Probably because I…
320
00:48:35.650 --> 00:48:55.909
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): they have, like, this preconceived notion
that maybe only, like, 501c3 nonprofits or, like, really big external
organizations are, like, eligible, so it would be great to get the word
out through ASP, just, for the clubs that are able to apply, even though
that might not be, like, a huge
321
00:48:56.980 --> 00:49:04.879
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): expansion… extension the applicant pool.
We'll still be catching more people than we are now, so we should
definitely look into that.
322
00:49:05.040 --> 00:49:11.870
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think maybe we can talk a little bit
about nailing down what we…
323
00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:30.950
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): do want to do in terms of, like, expanding
the recognition. As Sonya mentioned, there is, we'll be looking into what
we can do with the city and stuff, but are there any specific ideas, or
just, like, kinds of things we want to check about? Anything in mind?
324
00:49:30.955 --> 00:49:49.264
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): People usually like to go on Instagram,
like, when we do the post on social media, like, people look less at
posts and more at videos, so if we have each organization just make a
video about, like, what they're doing, and how it's affecting teams in
our city, that would be better. And we can also have PR review, like,
those videos, just in the case.
325
00:49:49.445 --> 00:49:54.194
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think that would be a lot more helpful
in terms of publicity. It's a great idea.
326
00:49:54.195 --> 00:50:08.594
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): sure, in terms of publicity, I'm not sure
if there's any impression for something like just… It's not even
necessarily a certificate, just the ability to say that they're
officially endorsed by the city, I think. In terms of clubs… clubs,
organizations in general, they just…
327
00:50:08.595 --> 00:50:16.704
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): they themselves can take that and run
whatever they want with this, so I think just giving them the ability to
say that, could potentially be a draw.
328
00:50:16.705 --> 00:50:21.715
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): official, like, certificate or something,
like, in the form of…
329
00:50:23.030 --> 00:50:31.639
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I totally agree with all of those. I think
reels do pull way more engagement on Instagram, especially. And I think
a, like, physical certificate?
330
00:50:31.640 --> 00:50:45.779
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): especially if it's signed by the mayor,
would be kind of a big deal. And if, like, say, a school club gets it,
and they choose to hang it up in, like, their advisor's room, and
everyone comes and sees that, and they're like, wow, that's cool, I
think, that would…
331
00:50:45.780 --> 00:50:54.679
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): help establish, like, the prestigiousness,
and, like, the incentive to apply for this, because as we were saying
earlier, it would sort of make it look like
332
00:50:54.680 --> 00:50:58.899
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): more, if not selective, at least more,
like, heavy. So I think…
333
00:50:59.340 --> 00:51:07.449
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, something signed by the mayor, like
a certificate, especially if it's, like, rained and can kind of be hung
up, would be really cool.
334
00:51:08.030 --> 00:51:08.840
Quinlan Conf Room: Help a lot.
335
00:51:11.230 --> 00:51:12.399
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any other ideas?
336
00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:30.930
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Actually, on this selectivity point you
brought up earlier, I was wondering if we might, limit the amount of
vials we hand out, because if we have a free rein to hand out a while… if
we have the free rein to just hand out well to everyone's… this
commission has a habit of voting yes to everything. So,
337
00:51:30.970 --> 00:51:43.170
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I feel like that would actually probably
undermine the… or the, like, the prestige effect around YLOS. I'm just
wondering if we might establish a limit, perhaps, like, once a month or
something like that.
338
00:51:45.270 --> 00:51:46.980
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. I mean, I guess…
339
00:51:47.640 --> 00:51:52.430
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): If we want this shadow to have, like, some
sort of prestige in terms of…
340
00:51:52.820 --> 00:51:58.120
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not only is it just helping them increase
their engagement, it's also, like, a symbol of…
341
00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:03.170
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): We are so-and-so club, and we've been
marked by the… Shadow.
342
00:52:03.430 --> 00:52:08.399
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, I feel like… When you consider that
it's, like, once a month, that's, like.
343
00:52:09.270 --> 00:52:11.139
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Even 10 clubs a year.
344
00:52:11.820 --> 00:52:17.240
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): In a town like ours, that's still, like… A
significant number of them.
345
00:52:17.820 --> 00:52:22.169
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, and considering the fact that a lot
of them have, like, maybe multiple people
346
00:52:23.120 --> 00:52:26.539
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Calling the shots at their nonprofit or
club.
347
00:52:27.490 --> 00:52:29.830
Quinlan Conf Room: It would probably be in our best interest.
348
00:52:30.140 --> 00:52:32.840
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): To, like, lower the amount that we hand
out.
349
00:52:32.980 --> 00:52:35.660
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): In terms of, like, the biggest shoutout we
have.
350
00:52:36.080 --> 00:52:40.559
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, maybe even, like, a tiering model,
where once a month we give out this.
351
00:52:41.020 --> 00:52:45.780
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Twice a year, we give this album. Once a
year, we give, like, something great.
352
00:52:46.680 --> 00:53:02.960
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): I feel like that's a good idea, but also,
like, I feel like we need to choose whether or not, like, we want
prestige, or just to help, like, organizations in the community, because
I feel like, even with Reels, like, the amount of, like, publicity we're
gonna give them is going to be still limited.
353
00:53:03.120 --> 00:53:05.720
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, like… I feel like…
354
00:53:06.250 --> 00:53:19.630
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Saying yes to many different
organizations isn't necessarily, like, a bad thing, because we're, like,
there are so many different organizations that do some stupid things,
and, like, helping them a little is, like, also, like, beneficial for our
community as well.
355
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:23.269
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Could there be a… sorry, you could go.
Okay.
356
00:53:23.275 --> 00:53:31.604
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there a way that, like, they can choose
whether they want, like, to apply for the prestige, like, or, like, just
the, like.
357
00:53:32.285 --> 00:53:33.005
Quinlan Conf Room: Thanks.
358
00:53:33.325 --> 00:53:41.554
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): If they want the procedure, if they just
want to be, like, posted so that they can get the recognition in, like,
the members, maybe you could have, like.
359
00:53:41.585 --> 00:53:57.735
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, a separate subdivision where, one,
you'd actually be considered for the award, and that would be for the,
like, more prominent and bigger organizations, and then there'd be, like,
a second one, where if you aren't, like, that established yet, you could
just get
360
00:53:58.295 --> 00:53:59.905
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): recognition.
361
00:54:02.590 --> 00:54:06.119
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I mean, this Commissioner Sue said,
like.
362
00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:11.869
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): You still have to make a decision on how
we want the award to be viewed.
363
00:54:12.100 --> 00:54:18.199
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Especially considering that some of us
believe it's more… it should be more prestigious, some of us believe that
364
00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:23.469
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's about shouting out as many local
residents as we can.
365
00:54:24.100 --> 00:54:25.530
Quinlan Conf Room: And I feel like…
366
00:54:26.280 --> 00:54:29.920
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, the tier system, it does… I feel
like…
367
00:54:30.370 --> 00:54:33.190
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't want to bring it up over and over
again.
368
00:54:33.340 --> 00:54:34.219
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): But, like…
369
00:54:35.510 --> 00:54:42.720
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): you should have, I believe, separate
forms, like, let's say, even just two different opportunities where we
have, like.
370
00:54:43.110 --> 00:54:50.800
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): one pre-established why I love shadow on
Instagram, like we already do. It doesn't necessarily even have to be
more of a prestigious award, it could just be, like.
371
00:54:51.190 --> 00:54:55.680
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have a separate award for, like,
startups that are under 6 months.
372
00:54:56.460 --> 00:55:00.910
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just, like, giving them, hey, these guys
are new, them as well.
373
00:55:01.650 --> 00:55:07.590
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. Maybe, like, categories, like… Best
new group, best…
374
00:55:08.290 --> 00:55:13.810
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Serving largest population, or something,
like, kind of adding some categories.
375
00:55:14.210 --> 00:55:15.110
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
376
00:55:15.640 --> 00:55:17.959
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a quick question. So, don't we.
377
00:55:17.965 --> 00:55:20.775
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have, like, this wild highlight, like,
once again.
378
00:55:22.240 --> 00:55:37.469
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's a really great question, because
that was one thing that I was going to point out, is that we only have it
as often as somebody applies. And so, and some of those, applications
have been… I've heard of a group
379
00:55:38.010 --> 00:55:40.449
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): through some other means, and they said.
380
00:55:40.590 --> 00:56:00.050
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): do you want to apply? You could apply
here, or they hear it through word of mouth, through… Most of them have
come in that way, but in the big picture, we haven't steadily had once a
month. And, when you talk about being a lot more selective.
381
00:56:00.270 --> 00:56:05.040
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I feel like you would want to first be in
a situation where you have
382
00:56:05.080 --> 00:56:17.389
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): more than you can really highlight once a
month. And so, you know, I get what you're saying about building that
selectiveness in, but also, part of it is
383
00:56:17.390 --> 00:56:28.479
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): this is a process for us to just try to
get the word out about clubs. So, it's hard to build in the selectiveness
if you don't have, like, an overabundance of,
384
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:38.939
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): of while I was applying for the highlight.
So, we could get there, and then you could, like, then start implementing
that you're a little more selective. But,
385
00:56:39.120 --> 00:56:41.069
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think we would want to…
386
00:56:41.080 --> 00:56:49.259
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): more see, like, how can we get more people
applying? And… and I kind of put that back on the team commission.
387
00:56:49.260 --> 00:57:08.070
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): how can you individually, as teen
commissioners, go back to your schools and, like, promote the program,
and be like, hey, you know, this is a cool, cool club at my school. You
guys, you know, you guys should come and present, you could have a
highlight, you know, it'd be cool. We could help to get the word out
about your club.
388
00:57:09.790 --> 00:57:29.009
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think we have really good ideas for how
we want to develop the highlight program, but I think we should figure
out how to advertise it, because, I mean, are we… can put them into
school newsletters, I'm sure, if we, like, send an email to the ASB,
like, slash advisor, but, like, are there any other ways that we can
approach this?
389
00:57:29.015 --> 00:57:33.515
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think, was that the next item that we
have advertising?
390
00:57:33.515 --> 00:57:41.295
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Ashley, we will continue that
conversation, so… but that is a really great point specific to this, is…
391
00:57:41.545 --> 00:57:48.534
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): how can you, as commissioners, help to
promote this commission program? And so…
392
00:57:48.975 --> 00:58:02.295
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I will say it will weigh a lot more with
the school, if they get a packet from us of, like, here's some great
opportunities for the teams at your, say, high school, as opposed to
393
00:58:02.295 --> 00:58:19.165
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): you go, and you know your ASB, and you
say, hey, there's this great program, how could we get this into our
newsletter? That's going to be far more effective than SSC staff trying
to reach out to the schools individually, so we really count on you to
get out there and
394
00:58:19.655 --> 00:58:23.515
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): ER employees in the high schools. Yeah, I
think,
395
00:58:23.905 --> 00:58:26.485
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): We were talking about the…
396
00:58:26.655 --> 00:58:37.275
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): we were really discussing, like, the
selectivity, ramping it up as well, and Sonia had some good points to
offer to that. In my personal experience, what I've seen is that when we…
397
00:58:37.495 --> 00:58:57.444
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): at least in this area, advertise an
opportunity, an award, or honor or something like that as more selective,
more people tend to apply, because, that is, in and of itself, an
incentive to put something selective on their college app. More people
want to do that. So, if we,
398
00:58:57.575 --> 00:59:07.655
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): start by adding more weight to the
benefits, and then say that, oh, well, these are… here's this program,
and then here's this selective program. I feel like we would,
399
00:59:07.885 --> 00:59:10.194
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): end up seeing, like.
400
00:59:10.195 --> 00:59:23.385
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): an uptick in people who apply, but a good
point to consider is that we don't want to say or imply that this is
something super selective, and then end up giving it to everyone that
applies, because we just didn't have enough applicants.
401
00:59:23.385 --> 00:59:34.055
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, if we're gonna ramp up selectivity,
let's be, like, a little mindful on how selective we say it is, because
it's not gonna be, like, a 1%, 10%.
402
00:59:34.055 --> 00:59:39.144
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Even, like, 30% acceptance rate,
especially in the beginning.
403
00:59:39.165 --> 00:59:48.465
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): But we can definitely work on limiting it,
as you bought up to maybe one a month, or something more, maybe something
less. What I was thinking,
404
00:59:48.545 --> 00:59:56.815
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is just a random idea I'm throwing
out there, based on Commissioner Halambe and Commissioner Beischmuk's
idea. What if…
405
00:59:56.975 --> 01:00:14.874
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): we sort of changed the highlight program
we have to instead be, like, a recognition program, and then it has two
tiers, like a highlight, which is, like, a more general, lower level,
lower level thing that people can apply for. And then we have, like.
406
01:00:14.885 --> 01:00:27.595
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, an outstanding impact award or
something that we only give out, like, 2 or 3 of per year, but only
people who won the highlights are eligible to apply for. So, maybe, like.
407
01:00:27.595 --> 01:00:38.535
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): as we bought up the idea of, like,
different sort of categories, you know, how, like, the Golden Globes
have, like, very different, like, I hate, like, best soundtrack, best new
nonprofit, etc.
408
01:00:38.655 --> 01:00:42.325
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Maybe we can branch out into that once we
sort of
409
01:00:42.535 --> 01:00:55.444
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): kind of a more general, but still
selective program to see, like, larger applicant pools, and then we can,
like, be sure that, okay, we are going to have enough applicants per
category to actually hand out selective awards and that.
410
01:00:55.565 --> 01:00:56.975
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's just an idea.
411
01:01:00.695 --> 01:01:07.954
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): You guys don't… by the way, you don't have
to raise your hand or anything to talk, just so you know, like, please
just jump in.
412
01:01:08.580 --> 01:01:13.940
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I like the idea of having separate, like,
awards and, like, categories, because I think then
413
01:01:14.280 --> 01:01:25.349
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): specific, and makes people want to do it
more, they actually know what it's about, instead of just, like, a, like,
regular highlight. It's, like, an actual thing specific. Oh, sorry.
414
01:01:25.500 --> 01:01:26.520
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, just a.
415
01:01:26.525 --> 01:01:35.234
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): quick question. You mean, like, the, like,
different types of things, like, best environmental program, best, like,
that? Or, like, the… the tier sort of thing? I think…
416
01:01:35.235 --> 01:01:43.394
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): if we had a lot of those categories, like
best environmental, like, best, like, technology one, I don't think that
we would get enough applicants to make it as, like.
417
01:01:43.555 --> 01:01:49.735
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): specific for each one, but I think I like
the idea of, like, outstanding impact and things like that more.
418
01:01:49.885 --> 01:01:50.675
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I agree.
419
01:01:51.025 --> 01:01:51.385
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah.
420
01:01:51.745 --> 01:02:09.014
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I agree with Chelsea about, like, how we
sort of, like, increase, like, our pool size in general before, like, we
make such, categories. And then I also feel like, I know you were
mentioning, like, having such award things, like, two or three times a
year, but, maybe it could just be, like, you know, similar to Crest
Awards, how it's just, like, one
421
01:02:09.315 --> 01:02:27.334
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, ceremony or, like, one time,
where it's given. I think it could probably just be, like, one sole event
for, like, oh, youth-led… like, City of Cupertino, like, youth-led
organization, like, awards ceremony, whatever. And it could be, like, a
once-a-year thing. We give out, like, all the different, like,
categories, as you were saying. That's a great idea.
422
01:02:27.340 --> 01:02:39.739
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Especially if we do something like… like
the highlight thing where everyone wins a highlight is eligible to apply,
because I feel like that would also up the incentive to apply for
highlights as well. Actually, when she mentioned the.
423
01:02:39.745 --> 01:02:53.084
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Crest Awards, I was wondering, would it be
possible for, for instance, once a year, or, like, whenever Crest Awards
are held just before that, we choose, out of all the highlights from the
previous year, we choose, like, one of the best, and then we can present
it in person at the Crest Awards? I'm not sure.
424
01:02:53.505 --> 01:02:57.355
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Doable, but I think that would greatly be
improved. Oh, I like that idea.
425
01:02:57.360 --> 01:02:59.440
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's amazing. Yeah, we can just.
426
01:02:59.445 --> 01:03:13.225
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): incorporate something, like, best
organization, but only people who apply through the Teen Commission are
eligible to be considered for that one. That's a great idea, because that
actually we would have to do less to, like, establish something
completely new.
427
01:03:13.950 --> 01:03:15.710
Quinlan Conf Room: And I guess, like, what is fake?
428
01:03:16.750 --> 01:03:23.290
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): As we're actually doing such an award
ceremony, it's also a marketing opportunity for us, because
429
01:03:23.720 --> 01:03:31.130
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): we're basically putting our name out
there, like, hey, we exist, this is the word we're giving out. We're the
ones choosing the… we're the.
430
01:03:31.135 --> 01:03:37.815
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're the ones choosing out the… who gets
these awards, so… improving… improve the influence of Teal Commission,
too.
431
01:03:39.070 --> 01:03:39.950
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Good point.
432
01:03:40.730 --> 01:03:46.749
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Especially at my school, I don't think
many people know what teen commits compared to others, so it's a good
idea to…
433
01:03:47.640 --> 01:03:49.140
Quinlan Conf Room: Cruise the popularity.
434
01:03:49.170 --> 01:03:49.880
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, yeah, yeah.
435
01:03:49.885 --> 01:03:53.785
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I totally agree. Same thing at my school
as what I've observed as well.
436
01:03:55.035 --> 01:04:00.354
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think that's a great idea to introduce
that category to the CREST Awards, because,
437
01:04:01.175 --> 01:04:03.794
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I know Crest,
438
01:04:03.935 --> 01:04:17.575
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): award categories do change with time, and
if we recommend this, it's very likely, I think, or actually, I'm… I
don't know how likely it is, but it's a great idea, according to me, so
they will probably consider it.
439
01:04:17.575 --> 01:04:23.094
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): where we give the letter of commendation,
or, like, the certificate, because you know how, like, they hand those
out? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
440
01:04:23.590 --> 01:04:28.300
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And all the Crest Awards, and the
ceremonies are also recorded, and, like.
441
01:04:28.520 --> 01:04:47.529
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): very nicely presented on, like, the city
TVs. Maybe if you've been in, like, the community hall or something like
that, they're always, like, playing, like, snapshots of it on the TVs,
which I think is very cool, and I think, especially in this area, people
would love to have that sort of exposure, or just recognition. One thing…
442
01:04:47.530 --> 01:04:59.949
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): though, is I was on the, like, panel for
selecting Crest Awards this year, and I noticed that it's all the chairs
from each commission, and we are the only commission with
443
01:04:59.970 --> 01:05:14.910
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): teens on them. So there was a total of one
person under a team on that… on that thing. And if it's, like, a teen-
focused thing that the team commissioners are so heavily involved in,
maybe we should also have a plan for how we're planning to
444
01:05:14.910 --> 01:05:28.229
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): if we're going to incorporate these into,
like, the Crest Award thing, how are we putting our unique perspective on
this? Because I think it is super important, especially for a very team-
focused award.
445
01:05:28.500 --> 01:05:29.989
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I… I'm gonna…
446
01:05:30.320 --> 01:05:36.469
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Jump in, because we're getting really,
really specific on something that's a maybe, because keeping in mind
447
01:05:36.980 --> 01:05:50.090
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): all the commissions, did vote on the CREST
Awards, and so if we come at them, not to be a naysayer, but we can
always ask, and I think it's a great idea. But also just keep in mind
that that…
448
01:05:50.100 --> 01:06:00.620
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): all the commissions would be like, hey, we
want to do that, and so we just have to, you know, not get too specific.
We can definitely look into it, and then
449
01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:03.729
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's keep that a little bit broad. Okay.
450
01:06:04.290 --> 01:06:16.780
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): But I think that's been a lot of feedback,
and just for the sake of keeping us on, like, some kind of time frame,
can we maybe go on to public comment? Last comments? Sure, yeah.
451
01:06:16.995 --> 01:06:19.705
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's go on to public comment.
452
01:06:20.380 --> 01:06:22.599
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): No speakers admission, and no hands raised
on Zoom.
453
01:06:22.600 --> 01:06:23.480
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): share. Thank you.
454
01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:25.849
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are there any comments?
455
01:06:29.540 --> 01:06:30.340
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
456
01:06:31.370 --> 01:06:33.609
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you very much, that was a really
great…
457
01:06:33.900 --> 01:06:39.529
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's a lot of great suggestions in
there, and a lot of great feedback, which is exactly what we were looking
for.
458
01:06:39.700 --> 01:06:40.600
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah.
459
01:06:41.580 --> 01:06:43.000
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
460
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:54.500
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Before we go on to the next item, I did
promise that I'd give a time check for rides, and I think we're probably
15 to 20 out? How long do you think your staff report is?
461
01:06:56.310 --> 01:06:57.290
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
462
01:06:57.290 --> 01:06:59.610
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We're about 15… 15 to 20.
463
01:07:05.750 --> 01:07:06.879
Quinlan Conf Room: Here is Rusty.
464
01:07:08.180 --> 01:07:12.600
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, we're going against it. Yeah.
465
01:07:39.050 --> 01:07:46.539
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I do have a question, like, are we allowed
to just, like, email, like, the ASB advisor, just tell them about the
program, and, like, give them a blurb?
466
01:07:46.850 --> 01:08:00.480
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Definitely. I was, like, thinking about,
like, all the stuff that we learned, like, that one meeting, where it's…
they present, like, the brown and, like, the chain of meetings. You're
not just allowed to, we encourage it. Yeah.
467
01:08:00.785 --> 01:08:01.915
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Talk about that, Nick.
468
01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:03.050
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Literally asking.
469
01:08:03.050 --> 01:08:06.670
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes. Everybody… An auction item?
470
01:08:06.675 --> 01:08:10.105
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, us to do? Like, if you all are,
like, ASPN still?
471
01:08:10.730 --> 01:08:20.329
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, in fact, let's get into the agenda
items, just so we stay kind of on track with the agenda, and you can move
on without Harley, so at all.
472
01:08:20.830 --> 01:08:22.679
Quinlan Conf Room: I think everybody's texted.
473
01:08:22.680 --> 01:08:24.869
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So… Yeah, looks like it. Okay.
474
01:08:25.090 --> 01:08:25.850
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Right?
475
01:08:26.630 --> 01:08:31.190
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so we'll move on to the next agenda
item. Subject is…
476
01:08:31.439 --> 01:08:39.389
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commission role in promoting teen
programs. Recommended action is to discuss how teen commissioners can
promote teen programs in the community.
477
01:08:40.109 --> 01:08:52.459
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so this is kind of almost like a
second part. I don't have a presentation, a formal presentation, but it's
something that, Robert Kaufman and I have talked about a lot, of just,
478
01:08:52.589 --> 01:09:00.369
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): How can it be more for you, rather than
showing up once a month, where you're like.
479
01:09:00.529 --> 01:09:02.939
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, we've got a meeting coming up.
480
01:09:03.189 --> 01:09:05.809
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hey, I've got that in my calendar.
481
01:09:05.909 --> 01:09:13.029
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm going to show up, come to the meeting,
and the team commission is kind of set aside again until the next month.
482
01:09:13.069 --> 01:09:28.959
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): As part of being on the team commission,
you went through a pretty rigorous process with our Council interviews,
and there's a lot of people interested in being on the commission. So,
our council members
483
01:09:29.139 --> 01:09:45.419
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): chose each of you because they saw that
you were going to be our connection to the teens in the community, and
they tried to pick a broad, spectrum of people that were going to really
reach out to all the teens. But that…
484
01:09:45.589 --> 01:09:50.339
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): not only do we kind of stick with Team
Commission is advisory.
485
01:09:50.389 --> 01:10:04.789
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's one aspect. Team Commission shows
up at our events that are run by our Youth Activity Board, but they show
up as, like, speakers, moderators, kind of those higher-level judges.
That's another aspect.
486
01:10:04.789 --> 01:10:21.069
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): But that third aspect is that we look to
the teen commission, not only to advise us on staff programs, but to help
us to promote and to reach out to the teen community. That's another huge
part of your role as teen commissioners. So.
487
01:10:21.709 --> 01:10:23.999
Quinlan Conf Room: We just kind of wanted to have a discussion?
488
01:10:24.049 --> 01:10:28.069
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Am I hitting all the points that we sort
of talked about? Did you have anything to add?
489
01:10:28.279 --> 01:10:29.789
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, I think what's about…
490
01:10:30.259 --> 01:10:44.239
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so we just wanted to have a
discussion and kind of put it out to you, as to how do you see that you
can reach out in your schools, in your
491
01:10:44.439 --> 01:11:03.509
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): community clubs that you may be involved
with in any way that you, have a connection to other teens in the
community. That's not just you, beyond you, reaching out, networking. So
Commissioner Lau gave a great suggestion in between agenda items. It's
like, can we
492
01:11:03.719 --> 01:11:14.799
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): reach out to our ASB director and, like,
can we email them and let them know about the YLO program? Can we do
that? Yes, we would love for you to do that. So, I…
493
01:11:14.799 --> 01:11:30.759
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess I'm challenging each of you to
think of something in your school, in your life, that you can do, and to
kind of put that out to the group of, like, I could reach out to the ASB
director. What are some other ideas that
494
01:11:30.779 --> 01:11:36.969
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Each of you has as to how you can reach
out to the teen community as a teen commissioner.
495
01:11:37.009 --> 01:11:39.959
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Really representing and promoting our
programs.
496
01:11:41.230 --> 01:11:59.320
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): maybe something small, but I know YAB
does this, like, they post, like, like, they took four events to promote
it, they, like, on their stories on Instagram, they do, like, silly
trends, so that, like, catches the attention of, like, a lot of students,
when they see, like, trends, and then it's just kind of, like, a
promotional video, but it's, like, in a fun way.
497
01:11:59.460 --> 01:12:00.859
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's what I feel like.
498
01:12:01.030 --> 01:12:06.489
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): With, like, posting a lot on Instagram
stories, that helps a lot, because a lot of,
499
01:12:06.830 --> 01:12:13.109
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): I feel like a lot of students doomschool
on Instagram, so it catches, like, their attention if they see, like, a
little trend.
500
01:12:13.400 --> 01:12:16.339
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I was gonna say that it's actually
the exact same thing.
501
01:12:16.345 --> 01:12:35.355
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I've seen, like, I know a lot of people, a
lot of my friends at school are part of Yabb, and, like, I see, like,
sometimes on their story, they see, like, oh, like, pizza and politics,
or, like, this other event is coming up. So, like, personally, like, as a
teen, I've been, like, actually informed about these events coming up, so
using, like, more social media, like, we each
502
01:12:35.355 --> 01:12:42.755
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, I'm sure that most of us have, like,
some sort of social media, so, like, maybe just even the small story
promoting the…
503
01:12:42.835 --> 01:12:46.254
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, just making a story, like, just an
Instagram story.
504
01:12:46.385 --> 01:12:50.245
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Youth-led organization, this does, yeah.
505
01:12:51.660 --> 01:13:00.279
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a friend who's in the Sunnyvale
Team Advisory Committee. I know, like, over there they do a lot of, like,
videos, and…
506
01:13:00.400 --> 01:13:12.109
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): that helps, like, bring their attendance,
but another thing they do is they have flyers, and they, like, post it up
around our school, and I've done that for, I think, like, the teen
speaker series. I don't know how effective it was.
507
01:13:12.310 --> 01:13:24.029
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): But I think that's definitely a
possibility, like, if you can get flyers for the different things in our
city and post them up on their bulletin boards, people, like, definitely
will look at that. And,
508
01:13:24.190 --> 01:13:36.199
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): In ASB, we also make a lot of posters for,
like, events in school. I think, like, those also really help because,
like, they help keep people who do not have, like, Instagram or things
like that informed.
509
01:13:39.040 --> 01:13:57.839
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Also for ASB, we do a lot of, like, the
announcements, and our, like, totally video announcements, where
everyone's, like, required to watch them, so if we can put up, like, the
YLO highlight program on that, and, like, through the announcements, I
think it would help reach out to a lot more people as well.
510
01:13:58.480 --> 01:14:03.729
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I want to add on to that. So, in our
school, what ASB and leadership
511
01:14:03.900 --> 01:14:21.279
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): They used to advertise different things,
and so, like, surprisingly, in our school, a lot of students watch these
videos, so I would think, like, like, you know, putting the YLO, or,
like, you know, like, one of these things inside one of our videos would
be a good way to advertise them.
512
01:14:23.620 --> 01:14:28.550
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, I guess the problem with, like, a
lot of these… school-led…
513
01:14:29.020 --> 01:14:33.119
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Spirit accounts is that posting is
inconsistent, like.
514
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:39.849
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): You have a video from 5 days ago that's
got pretty good attention, then the next video is from 2 years ago.
515
01:14:40.190 --> 01:14:43.309
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): And it's like, I have never seen these
people before.
516
01:14:43.650 --> 01:14:46.109
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): But the problem is, again, that…
517
01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:52.309
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): You can't really rely on a school's fan
spare page, because…
518
01:14:52.810 --> 01:14:57.050
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's one cl… like, one graduating class
that's really attached to it.
519
01:14:57.240 --> 01:15:02.479
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then it takes a couple of years before
people start picking up on it again, like, oh, we should probably do
this.
520
01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:07.630
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess that's probably part of the
problem using school.
521
01:15:07.780 --> 01:15:10.460
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): as a method for advertising.
522
01:15:11.420 --> 01:15:12.520
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): services.
523
01:15:12.650 --> 01:15:16.760
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is, more something else I was
thinking about, the comments about, posting more.
524
01:15:16.830 --> 01:15:32.529
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): A lot of folks mentioned about posting on
social media was about the YLO program, highlighting the YLOs that we
highlighted, but I'm just thinking, what other things could we post
about? Yeah, for instance, as it's very clear, they plan to run the
events.
525
01:15:32.580 --> 01:15:38.789
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Of course, one way we could go about it is
we just repost their stuff, but I highly doubt that would attract
attention to the commission itself.
526
01:15:38.990 --> 01:15:45.940
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I suppose the question… question, of
course is, what would we… what would we post about?
527
01:15:46.620 --> 01:15:48.949
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, that's a good thing to think about,
because…
528
01:15:48.960 --> 01:16:08.599
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Of course, it would be great if, you know,
people, while doom scrolling, did come across reels hyping up the Teen
Commission. But I think, you know, for example, Yabbi's very well suited
to, that kind of marketing, and it works really well. But I think Teen
Commission, being a more advisory body, I mean.
529
01:16:09.280 --> 01:16:20.390
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): what would we hype them up for, like, the
next February meeting? Like, like, that… I'm super hyped about it, okay?
I don't know if Reels would work on that, unless there's, like, a potluck
or something. So…
530
01:16:20.850 --> 01:16:24.399
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can we interject on that? Yeah, I, I just,
531
01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:29.069
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Tell me if I'm off-base here, Sonya, but
I… I think we're getting…
532
01:16:29.070 --> 01:16:35.790
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): we're… I think… Advertising Teen
Commission is not the actual purpose here.
533
01:16:35.930 --> 01:16:45.600
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): You're not supposed to be… you're not
here to serve yourselves as a body, okay? The goal is to represent teams,
to,
534
01:16:45.980 --> 01:16:58.179
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, the wider community, right? But
what represent programs… it's a two-based stream, is what we're trying to
say. You know, you're here to kind of represent Keen's as a voice to us
in terms of feedback.
535
01:16:58.290 --> 01:17:05.570
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): But you're also supposed to be promoting
city programs to… population that you're…
536
01:17:06.350 --> 01:17:08.199
Quinlan Conf Room: representings as well, right?
537
01:17:09.260 --> 01:17:10.559
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Kind of, like, the…
538
01:17:11.290 --> 01:17:12.709
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, you're the…
539
01:17:13.210 --> 01:17:20.449
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): the portal into that world for us. So the
goal is not to advertise and commission
540
01:17:20.800 --> 01:17:33.030
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): to your peers. I'm pretty sure a lot of
your peers know about Team Commission. There's a lot of applications that
come into Teen Commission. As Team Commissioners, you are…
541
01:17:33.190 --> 01:17:38.459
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): very specially picked by City Council to
do,
542
01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:42.370
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): to do what you do. And so…
543
01:17:42.770 --> 01:17:45.490
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess I'm kind of, like, circulating
myself here.
544
01:17:45.495 --> 01:17:46.465
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, he thought we were sage.
545
01:17:47.165 --> 01:17:48.985
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The city offers
546
01:17:49.345 --> 01:18:01.144
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): many team programs, and those are all part
of the city offerings, and so we're looking to you as a team commission
to promote all of our team programs, and some of those guests are
547
01:18:01.305 --> 01:18:14.824
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Youth Activity Board is the one that plans
and does the activities. They're just one facet of the overall team
program. Team Commission is a body, Youth Activity Board is a body,
Recreation Event Volunteers is a body.
548
01:18:14.925 --> 01:18:30.634
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): leaders in training as a body, but that,
as all as one, is the programs that we offer through the City of
Cupertino, and so we would like you to be part of the getting the word
out about everything that is offered through the City.
549
01:18:30.635 --> 01:18:37.234
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Does that make sense more? That it's not
just about… yes, the youth-led organizations process
550
01:18:37.235 --> 01:18:56.144
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): we talked really specifically about that,
that we would like to find a way to, like, promote that. That is very
team commission specific. But this is more about how can you as
commissioners reach out to the community about all of the program
offerings that we have? So it'd be whatever's coming up next. And it's
not just…
551
01:18:56.630 --> 01:19:03.789
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's not just, like, yeah, team events.
Yeah. Like, the reason why we tell you about all of our upcoming events…
552
01:19:03.830 --> 01:19:17.350
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): and things and updates. It's not just so…
like, we're not just trying to tell 10 teams what's happening, you know?
Yeah. We want you to go back and tell your friends, and we want you to
connect with your community and tell them about the things that
553
01:19:17.530 --> 01:19:19.450
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's see if Pettino's doing.
554
01:19:20.310 --> 01:19:21.740
Quinlan Conf Room: That's why we inform you.
555
01:19:22.170 --> 01:19:24.380
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's kind of, like, back and forth.
556
01:19:24.580 --> 01:19:32.539
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): so we're hoping that you're not just come
here once a month, the meeting's coming, sit down.
557
01:19:32.680 --> 01:19:35.379
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hear us yacht for, like, an hour.
558
01:19:35.680 --> 01:19:40.420
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, back to homework, like, forget
everything that happened here.
559
01:19:40.580 --> 01:19:46.769
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, we hope… we hope you're doing
your due diligence amongst your peers.
560
01:19:46.910 --> 01:19:55.069
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): kind of, like, spread the word about
things that are happening, spread the word about stuff. And, like, some
of this stuff is stuff that you guys are giving feedback on, too, right?
So it's not just…
561
01:19:55.470 --> 01:19:59.499
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): promote stuff for us. It's… it's stuff
that you also have a hand in, in some way.
562
01:19:59.710 --> 01:20:03.150
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Teen Speaker Shoes, for example, was a…
563
01:20:03.450 --> 01:20:07.790
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Team Commission kind of, like, advised
thing from start to finish, and…
564
01:20:07.990 --> 01:20:11.549
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hosted by some of your fellow
commissioners here, right? So…
565
01:20:12.640 --> 01:20:13.530
Quinlan Conf Room: you know.
566
01:20:13.950 --> 01:20:18.970
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Decommission is very beneficial to you
guys, like, as individuals, but we want it.
567
01:20:19.130 --> 01:20:24.820
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): We think it's… It's only right that it
also benefits other teams as well.
568
01:20:25.490 --> 01:20:27.580
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're all intermixed. Yeah.
569
01:20:27.580 --> 01:20:29.100
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): requirements, you know? Yeah.
570
01:20:30.870 --> 01:20:34.349
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And even to go back to, like, the
SportsCenter presentation.
571
01:20:34.510 --> 01:20:42.690
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's like, what does this SportsCenter
presentation… why am I getting this presentation? Well, they're giving
you, like, this is what we do in the city.
572
01:20:42.780 --> 01:20:54.329
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): for everybody, right? But then, I have
most of the divisions come and present to the team commission so that
it's an opportunity for you to give some extra team perspective.
573
01:20:54.330 --> 01:21:05.250
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, like, hey, I didn't know that we have
a discounted rate for students during the summer, you know? That's
something for you to kind of get the word out about, and something for
you to learn, and be like.
574
01:21:05.310 --> 01:21:24.189
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): hey, you know, did you know your
competitor is doing some free? You know, that's good feedback for our
manager, to have that, and I've heard… heard about that other program
through this means. So it's all really good feedback, and that's why we
bring those things to you. So it's just… it's just trying to…
575
01:21:24.690 --> 01:21:33.579
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): get you guys to think about, like, the big
picture and the city programs, really. So, but… but I'm hearing a lot of
576
01:21:33.810 --> 01:21:43.839
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): videos on Instagram, using social media,
that Yabb uses the videos for their social media, I guess they use
effective.
577
01:21:43.845 --> 01:21:46.545
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): What's a repost in… Oh, excuse me.
578
01:21:47.440 --> 01:21:50.190
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, there's a… Marketing.
579
01:21:50.860 --> 01:21:56.180
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): through the marketing process I go
through, right, on their behalf for an event, and then…
580
01:21:56.430 --> 01:22:04.000
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): They usually do kind of an additional,
like, through their own channels, by their own accounts, by reposting,
and then maybe…
581
01:22:04.410 --> 01:22:10.629
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): their own, like, individual posts to kind
of just bolster the message, right?
582
01:22:10.740 --> 01:22:12.970
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's only so many teams that are…
583
01:22:13.430 --> 01:22:26.419
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): are on, like, our email newsletter, that
kind of stuff, right? And there's probably even less of them following.
This is your group, Tito, right? But that's where you guys come in,
right? Like, you guys are directly…
584
01:22:29.770 --> 01:22:30.850
Quinlan Conf Room: Friends and…
585
01:22:31.010 --> 01:22:32.200
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Not very good.
586
01:22:32.730 --> 01:22:33.530
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Cheers.
587
01:22:34.220 --> 01:22:35.220
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sound.
588
01:22:36.300 --> 01:22:39.040
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): But, and it's good for us to give the
feedback.
589
01:22:39.360 --> 01:22:44.839
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hearing that again and again, we have our
marketing person, and so it's good for…
590
01:22:45.000 --> 01:23:04.360
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Robert and I to be able to go back and be
like, we are hearing this, you know? We are hearing this in regards to
just generally reaching out. We are hearing that a certificate signed by
the mayor would be really important for organizations. Is that something
that we can look into? Because we got that information back from
591
01:23:04.360 --> 01:23:11.820
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): the Commission. So, what you're saying
helps us, to, like, go back and, like, investigate those things.
592
01:23:11.825 --> 01:23:13.514
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I mean, for sure, you guys.
593
01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:23.720
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): told us more recognition, right? Like, in
so many ways, so we're definitely… we're not just, like, telling you,
we're also hearing you as well.
594
01:23:23.920 --> 01:23:24.890
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, enough.
595
01:23:25.030 --> 01:23:31.439
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): goes back to our point, is that this is,
like, supposed to be, like, a back-and-forth two-way kind of thing.
596
01:23:32.750 --> 01:23:33.360
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Vision.
597
01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:44.220
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I think what I'm hearing is that
there's, for, like, the outreach sort of part of our role, we're kind of
trying to be, like, a bridge. The city's official…
598
01:23:44.460 --> 01:23:50.850
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): happenings and the teen community. So we
can discuss that.
599
01:23:51.110 --> 01:23:56.560
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): We probably should, talk about how
whatever we understand is happening.
600
01:23:57.380 --> 01:24:13.990
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): whatever we, like, know is, going on, and,
like, our peers should know how do we just communicate that, sort of, get
that information out there. To maybe start it off a little bit, one thing
I've personally noticed is that there are,
601
01:24:14.890 --> 01:24:15.990
Quinlan Conf Room: sometimes…
602
01:24:15.990 --> 01:24:27.389
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, outreach to teams tends to get
bundled up as one, like, instead of saying… or thinking about, like, how
many different kinds of aspects there are to the
603
01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:34.989
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's gonna sound a little cliche, but the
teen experience, it's easy to, like, sort of simplify that into, like,
one kind of, like.
604
01:24:35.710 --> 01:24:47.250
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): hey, teens, how about we… how about we do
this? And I think that is often the case with, like, how even, like,
school clubs market themselves and things like that. So, my point is,
like.
605
01:24:47.550 --> 01:25:04.819
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): maybe, like, for example, the Sports
Center, right? We could maybe, like, start thinking about the kind of
outreach and the, like, target of our outreach is for each opportunity
that shows up. Like, for example, with the recreation things, we could
maybe, like.
606
01:25:05.000 --> 01:25:21.309
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): go up to our PE teachers and tell them,
hey, can we, can you guys just tell your students about the fact that
there is, like, a discounted local gym membership? And I'm sure the
people at weight training would love to hear about that. And then
there's, like,
607
01:25:21.620 --> 01:25:34.020
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, teen speaker series where we have a
lot of entrepreneurship talks. Maybe we can go up to our FBLA chapter
heads and be like, hey, can you tell your… or just literally tell them
ourselves, you know? So maybe we can,
608
01:25:34.210 --> 01:25:44.680
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): start thinking about, or, like, at the end
of each presentation, just discuss how we plan to, point and get that
information. That's just one…
609
01:25:49.690 --> 01:25:51.639
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, I really like the idea of, like.
610
01:25:51.645 --> 01:26:00.304
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): At the end of, like, every meeting, we
have, like, some sort of, like, action item that we could do, and, like,
how exactly we plan on, like, outreaching.
611
01:26:00.305 --> 01:26:22.904
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): And stuff, I do have one question, like,
revisiting the social media aspect, like, if we do actually, like, go
ahead with this idea, like, I know, for example, Gab has, like, an
official Instagram account, so if, like, we were to do such, like,
stories or posts, like, how exactly would we go about that? Would that
just be, like, us individually, like, doing it ourselves, or…
612
01:26:23.175 --> 01:26:29.504
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, posting on personal, like, their
personal stories, and we just tagged each other.
613
01:26:29.885 --> 01:26:33.095
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, so it's, like, one person makes it,
and then, like, they tag all the other people.
614
01:26:34.940 --> 01:26:42.010
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have something we can explore within
the city with our marketing coordinator, and we've talked about
615
01:26:42.270 --> 01:26:48.299
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): kind of pursuing some kind of scripted
videos, so we can look into that.
616
01:26:49.030 --> 01:26:50.540
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I mean, yeah, we'd love to…
617
01:26:50.660 --> 01:26:54.039
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, if that… if that is valuable.
618
01:26:54.650 --> 01:26:57.870
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think it's where it's about, Avenue.
619
01:26:58.380 --> 01:27:00.739
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Even if we don't…
620
01:27:02.590 --> 01:27:09.259
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): get it approved, or get, like, get there,
like, it's important that you keep vocalizing messages, too. Because, you
know…
621
01:27:09.760 --> 01:27:13.699
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): You talk to us, and we'd love to hear
your feedback, and…
622
01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:19.170
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's only so much we can actually,
just from the two of us, kind of get.
623
01:27:19.810 --> 01:27:23.289
Quinlan Conf Room: going, but, like… Over time.
624
01:27:26.170 --> 01:27:28.270
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): So.
625
01:27:28.270 --> 01:27:30.939
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It gives us some weight behind our
feedback.
626
01:27:31.270 --> 01:27:43.459
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, within the staff, so… And we've
def… and I've had some conversations about that, so just looking into
doing some more scripted videos, and so, you know, you're supporting
that, which is great.
627
01:27:46.930 --> 01:27:50.389
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, scripted videos for, like, Us? Or,
like, for.
628
01:27:50.395 --> 01:27:53.165
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, like, let's just say… well, let's just
say…
629
01:27:53.545 --> 01:28:00.565
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I could give an example. Let's say we
wanted to do a scripted video about, YLO highlight program.
630
01:28:00.825 --> 01:28:12.424
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that we might pull a couple of you and do
a video that specifically highlights that program, too, on, like,
Instagram. It says, hey, are you part of a club?
631
01:28:12.565 --> 01:28:14.645
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Come on down, apply.
632
01:28:16.490 --> 01:28:18.370
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we're just saying it's probably,
like…
633
01:28:18.970 --> 01:28:21.429
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): 5 levels of MS and premoles together.
634
01:28:21.435 --> 01:28:23.090
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): fat guy.
635
01:28:23.310 --> 01:28:28.410
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): But we've been in discussion, so you're
helping us to have more information. It's an evolving discussion.
636
01:28:28.415 --> 01:28:33.965
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. We… Yeah, for the most part, we, as
individuals, agree with you.
637
01:28:42.680 --> 01:29:02.039
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is an idea that just popped up. You
are very welcome to just say that it's, like, or, like, push back, but I
was at, like, a town hall, like, an assembly member town hall meeting
recently, and I got to meet a lot of people from a lot of different
cities and organizations that were interested in partnering up with,
like.
638
01:29:02.040 --> 01:29:02.890
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): of…
639
01:29:02.890 --> 01:29:11.920
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, schools and even the team
commission, things like that, and I noticed that they all had visiting
cards, which made it very easy to remember them.
640
01:29:12.100 --> 01:29:20.970
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm wondering, do other commissions get,
not commissioner-specific, but just commission visiting cards for people
to give out? Business cards?
641
01:29:20.970 --> 01:29:29.179
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. They do not. I know that
specifically. That was just discussed today. We don't have business
cards, yeah. Okay. So, in that case.
642
01:29:29.180 --> 01:29:32.449
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): maybe we can… however.
643
01:29:33.280 --> 01:29:43.069
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There were some name tags that were, like,
larger name tags that came out last year, and from what I understand,
they had some kind of contact information on the back.
644
01:29:43.670 --> 01:29:47.980
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, but I think when, wearing name tags,
it's a little…
645
01:29:48.200 --> 01:29:53.839
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. Inefficient to, like, flip them
around or something. Here, can you scan this? You know? Yeah. I felt like
we had, like.
646
01:29:53.965 --> 01:30:02.105
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, these, I mean, they're not as big as
a nametag, but these could still work if we wanted to use them. Yeah,
yeah.
647
01:30:02.110 --> 01:30:14.469
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): There, we definitely have good, name tags
for, like, identifying ourselves as part of the organization, or as part
of this organization. I'm just thinking, like, maybe for communications
and, like.
648
01:30:14.620 --> 01:30:22.969
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): To remain in contact with anyone that we
potentially meet while conducting this sort of outreach, that people that
we are looking at,
649
01:30:23.210 --> 01:30:31.049
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): have, like, a constant way to, like, look
at this and go, oh, okay, these are people I can contact, or email to ask
questions about.
650
01:30:31.530 --> 01:30:44.150
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, just, like, look up when their
next meeting is. But if we don't… if there's no precedent for commissions
having business cards, we can just make it a habit to give our email out
instead, whenever we do that kind of stuff.
651
01:30:46.360 --> 01:30:49.180
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): You can always give my email out, too.
Yeah.
652
01:30:50.840 --> 01:30:55.580
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Speaking of email, I was wondering, like,
if we can just…
653
01:30:56.120 --> 01:31:14.640
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): clarify what our .gov email can be used
for, because I feel like sometimes, we, especially, I have experienced
this, like, I want to, like, talk to a particular organization, but I'm
not super sure if my .gov email is supposed to be used for that outreach.
654
01:31:15.620 --> 01:31:19.370
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I would say it should be definite…
655
01:31:19.770 --> 01:31:35.510
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): only teen commission business,
specifically, not, like, looking into other business that you might delve
into. So, only current team commission business, city business are
corresponded with those teen commissioners.
656
01:31:36.070 --> 01:31:46.200
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, so I guess anything related to the
commission is fair game to reach out about using that email. It looks
pretty good. A lot better than at Gmail. Yeah, I mean, it's just.
657
01:31:46.205 --> 01:31:53.665
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Definitely, if you're reaching out from
your team commission email, it should be about something that is.
658
01:31:54.255 --> 01:31:56.855
Quinlan Conf Room: under consideration by the Team Commission.
659
01:31:56.855 --> 01:32:01.715
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And if you have any questions about that,
definitely check with me first. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
660
01:32:01.715 --> 01:32:05.045
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sounds great. I was wondering,
661
01:32:05.195 --> 01:32:09.844
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): What everyone's thoughts were on the thing
about, like.
662
01:32:10.255 --> 01:32:26.044
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): having concrete… or, I guess, time built
in to discuss our outreach strategies for whatever presentation we're
getting, or whatever thing we know is happening. Is that something… I'd
love for everyone to share their thoughts on that.
663
01:32:27.380 --> 01:32:34.300
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think that's a good idea, because, like,
if we're able to, like, know where we need to go and, like, what we would
like to, like.
664
01:32:34.770 --> 01:32:40.890
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): say when we promote the opportunity, I
think, like, having a group discussion would really help with that.
665
01:32:42.440 --> 01:33:02.439
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, in that case, Sonya, tell me if this
is, like, too specific, and if we don't need this, but is it, like, good
to include in the recommended actions for the presentations we have, to
just add, like, and discuss outreach strategies, so it's built into the
agenda for us to discuss that? We would… we could.
666
01:33:02.445 --> 01:33:09.214
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Build it in, kind of, internally, as far
as, like, you as the chair could just say.
667
01:33:09.595 --> 01:33:20.785
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, as part of the question portion, let
me just say, I'd like to know some of your thoughts of how we can get
this information out to the team community.
668
01:33:20.785 --> 01:33:31.695
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and then to discuss that amongst the
commissioners, just so we know what we should do after the meeting ends
and stuff, could we just continue that in comments? Is that fine? I would
say…
669
01:33:31.695 --> 01:33:38.644
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that you would just have people say what
their thoughts are on getting the word out, and
670
01:33:39.415 --> 01:33:56.495
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): probably we should agendize it. If we're
going to talk about a specific thing, we should agendize it. If you
wanted to, like… like, let's just say we wanted to talk about how are we
going to be more specific and come back to the YLO program, then we
should agendize it for the next meeting.
671
01:33:56.635 --> 01:33:58.444
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, like, agenda is…
672
01:33:58.450 --> 01:34:02.089
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Discussions, for each presentation you
get, like, in advance.
673
01:34:02.980 --> 01:34:12.839
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Possibly, yes, if we think it's going to
be one that we want to, like, put some concrete information, but… or you
could just have a quick discussion as part of the agenda item.
674
01:34:13.030 --> 01:34:15.020
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): on outreach. Okay.
675
01:34:15.640 --> 01:34:16.580
Quinlan Conf Room: How…
676
01:34:17.380 --> 01:34:22.130
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Rigorous… rigorously, do we think we
should, like, discuss
677
01:34:22.220 --> 01:34:41.039
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): creating an action item, and then… just
so, like, I know we were talking about having, like, pointed instructions
on what to do, or, like, a very solid idea of what… or who to talk to,
and what to talk to them about when we leave, just so we can bolster our
outreach capabilities. I don't know why I'm…
678
01:34:41.040 --> 01:34:45.759
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): talking in corporate speak right now. But,
like, so how much do we…
679
01:34:45.990 --> 01:34:58.190
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): think we should, like, really build this
in concretely. Like, as Sonya mentioned, we could either do it, like,
very agendized, or we could just have, like, a quick discussion. Yeah, go
ahead.
680
01:34:58.400 --> 01:35:04.309
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Really? Kind of depends, like… From,
like, what event it is, like, how we do the outreach, so…
681
01:35:04.930 --> 01:35:18.849
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I will also say the agendizing thing
sounds like it has to go through a good deal more paperwork than if you
were just, like, just add it as a standard question at the end of, like,
every presentation we get, so I think it's just a more convenient way to
do things.
682
01:35:18.855 --> 01:35:21.385
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, just one of you?
683
01:35:21.510 --> 01:35:32.869
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): could just say, how can we get this out?
What are some ideas to promote this program, if it's something that
people is something we should be promoting as a team commission?
684
01:35:33.050 --> 01:35:38.040
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was gonna say, also, I can add as an
agenda item
685
01:35:38.150 --> 01:35:42.320
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): to go back to the YLO, and specifically
about, like, how to get
686
01:35:42.610 --> 01:35:54.989
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): just how to make some changes in those
programs, and it gave me a chance to do a little investigation of what
things we might be able to do, so I can come back to that, and so we can
come back to that discussion. Yeah.
687
01:35:54.990 --> 01:36:01.670
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think, agendizing something for the
while specifically is great. I was just wondering, like, thinking, like.
688
01:36:01.980 --> 01:36:05.330
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): The asking questions part, like, building
that into the…
689
01:36:05.330 --> 01:36:25.629
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): questions thing, like, how does the
presenter think we should approach this, is a great idea. I just want to
make sure that the Commission also has enough time to sort of, like, talk
about what we think we should do, based on whatever feedback they
provide. So if we think that, like, a short… very short discussion, I
guess, in, like, the… while we're giving out comments is…
690
01:36:25.630 --> 01:36:27.620
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Enough to do that, then…
691
01:36:27.620 --> 01:36:37.090
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): we don't have to, like, agendize anything
further, you know, going forward, but whatever you guys think on that, I
think would be good to say right now.
692
01:36:40.510 --> 01:36:48.999
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, not quite related to that specific
question, but I was wondering about the thing about the game, the brown
axe, us not, not really,
693
01:36:49.080 --> 01:36:59.090
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): here to talk about city… team commission
business, outside, like, within… So, for example, if we were to, like,
more specifically about social media, like, when utilizing social media,
like.
694
01:36:59.090 --> 01:37:14.479
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): example, when tagging each other, for
instance, what's like the protocol? For instance, a more concrete
example, like that selfie we took at the beginning of the year, we've,
you know, I don't know where it ended up since we're not really allowed
to contact with each other, so I was wondering if,
695
01:37:14.640 --> 01:37:32.010
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): this sounds like it would go through a lot
of paperwork, but if, for instance, if we could, like, remove that brown
documentation, at least for teen commission, for example, if team
commissioners were able to just, like, talk to each other out, like, at
least in sort of group chat, we could bounce off each other, I feel like
that could have more, like, a good effect of, like, just…
696
01:37:32.015 --> 01:37:33.535
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, I can sash.
697
01:37:33.535 --> 01:37:37.454
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Since you're an official commission, so
you are
698
01:37:37.555 --> 01:37:46.795
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so, but you are allowed to share, to…
for matters of promotion, you… you can…
699
01:37:47.025 --> 01:37:54.744
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Share posts and like posts, but you
shouldn't get into any kind of online discussion about posts or events.
700
01:37:55.670 --> 01:37:58.409
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, yeah, it's always a very long route
now.
701
01:37:58.415 --> 01:38:01.535
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's always in effect for you, yeah.
702
01:38:02.560 --> 01:38:05.070
Quinlan Conf Room: presentation at the beginning of a little… yeah.
703
01:38:08.170 --> 01:38:18.279
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So I'm gonna, step in again and bring you
back on, that we might want to move on, just because we gave for 15
minutes and we still have staff.
704
01:38:18.380 --> 01:38:26.120
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And so we're going to have parents showing
up, so I'm gonna move the meeting along. Do you want to open it for
public comment? Yeah. Just to see?
705
01:38:26.350 --> 01:38:26.970
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there a…
706
01:38:26.975 --> 01:38:30.005
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have no speakers in person, and no
music.
707
01:38:30.600 --> 01:38:34.419
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. Are there any further comments
from the Commission?
708
01:38:35.740 --> 01:38:49.190
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I can just briefly add that it seems
like we're okay with going forward just, building in time, consciously
for finding out, like, these action items without agendizing them, so
that sounds okay, yeah.
709
01:38:49.195 --> 01:38:53.885
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'll commit to coming back to you if I
find for the next meeting, too.
710
01:38:54.415 --> 01:38:55.945
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Perfect. Okay.
711
01:38:56.290 --> 01:39:02.610
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Moving on to staff and commission reports,
I'll give it to Robert Kaufman for staff report.
712
01:39:03.670 --> 01:39:07.440
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, thank you all. Did y'all have me?
What?
713
01:39:07.910 --> 01:39:09.070
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): summer meeting?
714
01:39:09.560 --> 01:39:11.280
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, I was gonna say.
715
01:39:11.800 --> 01:39:15.419
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so then,
716
01:39:16.030 --> 01:39:26.660
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's good, because I had a past events
recap that I normally do. In November, we had kind of our first team
speaker.
717
01:39:27.540 --> 01:39:43.560
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): done an iteration of this event before,
but this was, like, a true, like, weekend-to-weekend series. Speakers,
for us, and it was hosted by, 2 out of 3 of them were hosted by Sumeda,
your fellow commissioner, round of applause.
718
01:39:45.590 --> 01:39:51.890
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): She bookended it, fantastically, and then
in the middle, we had, Vice Chair Carlu.
719
01:39:53.530 --> 01:39:54.930
Quinlan Conf Room: midday job.
720
01:39:54.930 --> 01:40:08.730
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): It was a very well-attended series. We
had, on average, participants show up for this, and I think that's a big
win, especially… kind of a first for us.
721
01:40:10.080 --> 01:40:16.960
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, thank you, thank you for your
support, those that hosted, thank you guys for the feedback. Much time.
722
01:40:17.100 --> 01:40:30.720
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): holded this event, you know, you guys
gave us the topics for it, what, last year now? Nope. How long ago was
that? Yeah. You guys gave us the topics for it, and we'll probably
agendize maybe a future,
723
01:40:30.720 --> 01:40:37.239
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): We were thinking of agendizing maybe a
future, like, brainstorm on topics and events for next year.
724
01:40:37.320 --> 01:40:46.340
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then in December, we had all of our
holiday events. I'll blow through these, because we're all getting hungry
and tired. We had our tree lighting on.
725
01:40:46.350 --> 01:41:05.450
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): December 5th, our community tree
lighting, and then next morning, we had breakfast with Santa, 12 sick, on
the 6th, tree lighting, which was coordinated by, Christina Lopez, our
special events coordinator, Breakfast with Santa, coordinated by our
youth and youth and preschool coordinator.
726
01:41:09.810 --> 01:41:15.170
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): a couple weekends after that, I had
Cupertino Cafe with Nuvat Tigney Board, I think a couple of new…
727
01:41:15.530 --> 01:41:22.559
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): showed up, maybe? I don't know, it looked
right at Samita, and she… No, no reaction, so maybe not.
728
01:41:22.970 --> 01:41:24.620
Quinlan Conf Room: And then.
729
01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:29.260
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Also my Santa event, which was Santa
Visits, which is a series that'll
730
01:41:30.020 --> 01:41:47.169
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Santa and his elf getting into a Santa, a
decorated city vehicle and visiting families throughout Cupertino. And
then Mr. Jason Bozavi, over in the outdoor division, had his signing
Santa on the 13th as well, which was…
731
01:41:47.670 --> 01:41:48.520
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Awesome.
732
01:41:48.660 --> 01:41:53.070
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Which is, we have an ASL-speaking Santa.
It's a very touching.
733
01:41:53.210 --> 01:41:55.860
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Anyways…
734
01:41:56.630 --> 01:42:06.760
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): upcoming events. This month, we have the
Cupertino Spelling Bee next Saturday, the 24th. That's for youth, but, a
few years back, we…
735
01:42:08.630 --> 01:42:17.299
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): we've got in our minds that have, you
know, kind of our older… their older peers running the event. So, Youth
Activity Board puts a lot of planning.
736
01:42:17.990 --> 01:42:18.920
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): purchasing.
737
01:42:19.620 --> 01:42:30.710
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): the spelling bee each year. It's
considered mostly hosted by the Youth Activity Board, but we also, have
this as a big opportunity for team commissioners to kind of,
738
01:42:30.710 --> 01:42:40.810
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, our speakers, our hosts, our…
you know, this is a big speaking opportunity for you guys. So, your
chair, Anushi Misrah, will be…
739
01:42:40.820 --> 01:42:44.520
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): This year's Spelling Master… let's give a
round of applause for her.
740
01:42:46.580 --> 01:42:56.070
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is that quite the tall task, that's a lot
of… a lot of speaking. Bring some water. No, I'll bring some water.
741
01:42:56.770 --> 01:43:01.869
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): also have, Vinay Prakash, as one of our
judges this year.
742
01:43:04.500 --> 01:43:08.769
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, so that spelling bee coming up next
Saturday,
743
01:43:10.360 --> 01:43:19.920
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, that's it for the spelling bee.
Sorry, I shut it. February, we're gonna have,
744
01:43:21.030 --> 01:43:25.339
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sweetheart Social on the 7th, that's
another youth event.
745
01:43:26.690 --> 01:43:28.280
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): But that one is also…
746
01:43:28.380 --> 01:43:36.360
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): like a lot of our holiday events and
Monster Mash, very, volunteer-supported, so Rev will be coming out for
that.
747
01:43:38.390 --> 01:43:43.850
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And that one's a fun Valentine-based
event for kids and their parents as well.
748
01:43:43.970 --> 01:43:46.889
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let me put another spheres as well.
749
01:43:49.890 --> 01:43:55.789
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, we need lots of people to help us with
that event, though.
750
01:43:56.660 --> 01:44:02.010
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then Tea Movie Night at the end of
February on, 20th…
751
01:44:02.310 --> 01:44:14.040
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): That one, I'm not gonna lie, that one
stuck up on me a little bit, so I don't have a movie for you at the
moment, okay? But I'll give you details once, Gab and I finalize that,
next week.
752
01:44:15.530 --> 01:44:31.639
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and then last but not least, and
this one pro… this will pertain to you guys, kind of going out a little
further to March and April, just because these events also have, speaker
opportunities, and I know we talked about all the fall ones back in
September.
753
01:44:33.420 --> 01:44:40.710
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, just kind of closing out the
year, let's wrap up screen speaker, I'll present that to you now.
754
01:44:40.960 --> 01:44:47.160
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): on March 7th, that is our annual Big
Money 5K.
755
01:44:49.900 --> 01:44:53.679
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Hsu over there is, smart.
Were you…
756
01:44:54.170 --> 01:44:55.140
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
757
01:44:55.140 --> 01:44:57.239
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's right, okay.
758
01:44:57.510 --> 01:45:05.060
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we have our Big Bunny 5K each year, we
have a couple of things to make sure to come out as MCs.
759
01:45:05.400 --> 01:45:09.219
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I believe Commissioner Hsu might have,
760
01:45:10.130 --> 01:45:13.619
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): They viewed her bunny talents that year.
761
01:45:14.250 --> 01:45:16.140
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, is that what we're laughing about?
Yeah, yeah.
762
01:45:16.140 --> 01:45:26.950
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, she was a… was the bunny last year.
So yeah, Big Bunny, that's March 7th.
763
01:45:27.400 --> 01:45:31.470
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's a very huge event, very huge.
Volunteer goal.
764
01:45:36.645 --> 01:45:40.754
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): interested in emceeing Big Benny, just so
I have an idea.
765
01:45:41.515 --> 01:45:42.975
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): How many people? Actually, yeah, maybe.
766
01:45:42.975 --> 01:45:48.045
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Maybe I should just also ask for a show
of hands for each of you. Let's see…
767
01:45:48.045 --> 01:45:49.805
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let me dance with the bunny again.
768
01:45:50.115 --> 01:45:50.725
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): Oh, okay.
769
01:45:50.725 --> 01:45:52.235
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, we put that in parentheses.
770
01:45:53.550 --> 01:45:55.390
Quinlan Conf Room: funny.
771
01:45:56.620 --> 01:46:00.559
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I just finally have an idea of how many
people are interested, so we'll have to make some…
772
01:46:00.790 --> 01:46:02.519
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Decisions, too, on that.
773
01:46:03.550 --> 01:46:04.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah.
774
01:46:08.080 --> 01:46:08.640
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Shame.
775
01:46:09.380 --> 01:46:11.600
Quinlan Conf Room: Chelsea, do you put your hands up?
776
01:46:11.600 --> 01:46:12.990
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then Jonathan, no?
777
01:46:13.830 --> 01:46:16.809
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. Okay, full.
778
01:46:17.540 --> 01:46:26.740
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, then… here's the end of March, we
pushed this event back a couple weekend… er, a weekend, because it's so
close to Big Bunny, and…
779
01:46:26.890 --> 01:46:35.349
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): You know, it's kind of in the middle of
Big Bunny and Earth Day. But, on the 21st is when we're gonna have our
third Tea Resource Fair.
780
01:46:35.970 --> 01:46:45.550
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): kind of a joint effort with, the WHSD's
Visitor Council. The Activity Board also helped plan it. I think I'm
gonna have…
781
01:46:46.060 --> 01:46:52.429
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): involved this year as well. But this is
kind of… this event, for me at least, is…
782
01:46:52.600 --> 01:46:55.770
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's also under… See you south.
783
01:46:56.190 --> 01:47:02.199
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): But for me, it's a big way to showcase
all the team programs.
784
01:47:02.630 --> 01:47:07.260
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): For me, really, honestly, it's just,
like, fucking, oh, all my, all my buddies are here.
785
01:47:07.450 --> 01:47:15.190
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Doing their thing, talking to their
peers, showcasing, and being represent… being representatives of your
group.
786
01:47:15.410 --> 01:47:17.790
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): In terms of team commission, rep… like…
787
01:47:18.020 --> 01:47:32.040
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): advertising themselves, this is, like,
the one for me, like, in terms of you guys talking about yourself, like,
Team Commission, your experience on Team Commission. So you'd be a booth…
you'd be at a booth, like, at a table.
788
01:47:32.150 --> 01:47:42.459
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Showcasing, talking about being a team
commissioner, you know, how it's beneficial to you, how it's beneficial
to the community, like, what do you do as a team commissioner?
789
01:47:42.750 --> 01:47:45.300
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let me get a show of hands, I'm showing
you…
790
01:47:45.480 --> 01:47:47.730
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Babs, can you repeat the day?
791
01:47:48.310 --> 01:47:49.720
Quinlan Conf Room: the 21st.
792
01:47:50.170 --> 01:47:51.740
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): March 21st.

01:47:52.390 --> 01:47:53.670

Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Zoom Events Berkeley.
796
01:48:00.880 --> 01:48:02.440
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm not going to Berkeley.
797
01:48:03.000 --> 01:48:08.520
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and then, last but not least…
798
01:48:09.020 --> 01:48:19.240
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because this is really kind of, like, the
last confirmed, for sure, speaker opportunity. We have Earth Day on the
5th of April, is that correct? Correct.
799
01:48:19.490 --> 01:48:21.309
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Labor for Easter.
800
01:48:21.660 --> 01:48:24.219
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): You can switch. It's just Sundays.
801
01:48:24.360 --> 01:48:30.470
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, a lot of our events are
Saturday, but I think Earth Day is timed around, like, Easter.
802
01:48:31.260 --> 01:48:33.400
Quinlan Conf Room: Birthday, I know…
803
01:48:35.840 --> 01:48:44.459
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I know Harley, you did Earth Day last
year. Industry as well? I keep switching between Commissioner last name.
Foreign Commission.
804
01:48:44.650 --> 01:48:46.319
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Wow. 4th of April.
805
01:48:46.550 --> 01:48:48.830
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Both of them. My apologies.
806
01:48:49.060 --> 01:48:52.360
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): 4th of April, so it is a Saturday.
807
01:48:54.350 --> 01:49:07.600
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Earth Day, for Earth Day, we're not
looking for MCs, but… well, I guess we are looking for MCs, right? Is
that… Usually, yeah. See, I was so wrapped up in wanting to, I don't
think no one's for saying that, J. Who did it last year?
808
01:49:07.605 --> 01:49:10.175
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sure. Anybody here? Go ahead.
809
01:49:10.180 --> 01:49:13.790
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can you just briefly describe what
birthday was?
810
01:49:13.795 --> 01:49:15.295
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, Earthlay was…
811
01:49:15.295 --> 01:49:32.444
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): it was basically being up on a stage in
one corner of the field. The field was entirely covered with boots and
stuff, so it was, not like we were the centers of everything, unlike most
events that we MCS, it was slightly different. Our main job, I think.
812
01:49:32.445 --> 01:49:45.094
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): if I remember correctly, was introducing
the artists that were coming up, introducing the people that were getting
recognitions, and, it was less so, like, engaging the crowd, it was more,
like, just facilitating, like, a program.
813
01:49:45.945 --> 01:49:48.334
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, section. Okay, cool.
814
01:49:48.510 --> 01:49:55.919
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): That one's on stage at Library Field. I
haven't given location so far, but whatever.
815
01:49:56.380 --> 01:49:59.910
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Today and Earth Day, kind of our last
opportunity here.
816
01:50:05.290 --> 01:50:11.590
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so we'll kind of take all this into
account, and then… on…
817
01:50:11.750 --> 01:50:14.779
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): Send out confirmations in the coming
months.
818
01:50:17.220 --> 01:50:19.139
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, trying to weigh out.
819
01:50:19.250 --> 01:50:28.979
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): participate in stuff, and who could use…
who hasn't had the opportunity yet. But also just try to see what's
worked the right fit.
820
01:50:29.610 --> 01:50:30.330
Quinlan Conf Room: Fuck.
821
01:50:32.040 --> 01:50:33.090
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, yeah.
822
01:50:33.390 --> 01:50:35.139
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, it's interesting.
823
01:50:35.285 --> 01:50:43.184
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's pretty much… That's pretty much it
for me tonight. We should probably… Probably goats.
824
01:50:43.825 --> 01:50:46.634
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll hand it back. I'll hand it back.
825
01:50:49.315 --> 01:50:53.085
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): Perfect. Yay.
826
01:50:54.035 --> 01:50:56.305
Speaker 15 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you. Perfect.
827
01:50:56.305 --> 01:51:09.195
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Future agenda setting. I know we've been
talking about continuing the YLO discussion. Is there anything else that
we would like to agenda set, or if you want to clarify what that YLO
agenda item is going to be?
828
01:51:11.015 --> 01:51:23.644
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so maybe it can give me an update on
what we can do, and then further discussion on what we are going to do,
and what's feasible for expanding the recognition, and continuing just
the discussion in general.
829
01:51:24.075 --> 01:51:31.125
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay. Adjournment. At 7.52 PM, I will
adjourn the meeting.

Quinlan Conf Room: Nelson.
831
01:51:33.275 --> 01:51:35.094
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Little bladder than that.
