Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay… Right, thank you. Thank you. Okay,
now on to ceremonial matters and presentations.
16
00:00:57.930 --> 00:01:10.819
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Our first item, subject is budget and
bites presentation, and recommended action is receiving presentation on
budget and bites from Senior Management Analyst Tony Jose Anderson. I
hope I'm saying that right.
17
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.810
Toni Oasay-Anderson: Yes, yes, that was great, thank you. Can you hear me
okay?
18
00:01:18.350 --> 00:01:34.340
Toni Oasay-Anderson: Thank you so much. Good evening, Commissioners. I'm
here to personally invite you all to attend our annual Community Budget
Meeting, Budget In Bites. Each year, the City hosts a community budget
workshop to engage on a specific budget topic. This year, we will be
focusing on OpenGov.
19
00:01:34.340 --> 00:01:45.339
Toni Oasay-Anderson: which is the City's financial transparency tool.
Staff will provide an overview of OpenGov and showcase the different
tools that are available to all Cupertino residents.
20
00:01:45.440 --> 00:02:02.080
Toni Oasay-Anderson: This will also include an interactive segment where
attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt to
try to find data in OpenGov for a chance to win prizes. There'll also be
an opportunity for a Q&A session between staff and attendees.
21
00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:21.140
Toni Oasay-Anderson: So, just quickly, in case you're wondering what is
OpenGov, a financial transparency tool? Basically, you can, explore the
city's budget and historical finances. You know, it benefits residents,
because it provides you all with real-time data, improves transparency,
builds public trust.
22
00:02:21.140 --> 00:02:34.489
Toni Oasay-Anderson: And helps residents gain an understanding of
government finances. So, it's an opportunity where you can interactively
explore the city's financial data instead of reading lengthy financial
documents.
23
00:02:34.490 --> 00:02:42.710
Toni Oasay-Anderson: If you know, our budget document currently is at 600
pages, and so, you know, learning how to utilize OpenGov will help you
24
00:02:42.710 --> 00:02:47.199
Toni Oasay-Anderson: kind of slice and dice the data that you want to see
regarding cities' finances.
25
00:02:47.670 --> 00:02:58.939
Toni Oasay-Anderson: So basically, again, the portal allows you to
monitor budgets, you can drill down into various filters, and then you
can also download data for deeper analysis.
26
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:07.660
Toni Oasay-Anderson: all of these features, really just make it easy for
residents, to digest all of the city's financials. So.
27
00:03:07.660 --> 00:03:27.379
Toni Oasay-Anderson: With that said, I highly encourage you all to attend
our Budget and Bikes Workshop. It is going to be held this Monday, April
13th, as highlighted on the flyer. It's in the evening. The first part is
hybrid, so you can join via Zoom or in person at Community Hall, and the
second part is going to be the interactive
28
00:03:27.380 --> 00:03:37.229
Toni Oasay-Anderson: scavenger hunt, which is going to be held in person.
And I believe we already mentioned it, and it does show on the flyer,
that there will also be some pizza provided as well.
29
00:03:37.470 --> 00:03:42.040
Toni Oasay-Anderson: So that is what I wanted to share with you all
today. Are there any questions at this time?
30
00:03:44.270 --> 00:03:47.040
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you so much. Are there any
questions?
31
00:03:49.850 --> 00:03:52.299
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, seems like there's no questions at
this time.
32
00:03:52.300 --> 00:04:11.379
Toni Oasay-Anderson: No questions. Okay, great. I think, you know, I hope
you all are, you know, if you're available, please attend. We're trying
to have a, you know, as many people, in our community attend and learn
more about what OpenGov has to offer. But I also wanted to ask, you know,
we'd like to get, the teens also more involved.
33
00:04:11.380 --> 00:04:21.230
Toni Oasay-Anderson: In the city's budget processes. Can I… I'd like to
ask if, do you have any suggestions for how we can get the teen community
more involved in future budget processes?
34
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:23.530
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you.
35
00:04:24.690 --> 00:04:25.500
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Shake.
36
00:04:27.940 --> 00:04:30.000
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Trina? Yeah…
37
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.109
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): this, that's a good time to just ask the
question. Can you hear us okay, Tony?
38
00:04:34.110 --> 00:04:34.740
Toni Oasay-Anderson: Yes.
39
00:04:35.540 --> 00:04:43.510
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Great, yeah, just make sure you speak
loudly so she can hear, too. Okay. Yeah, just ask if there's any
questions. Okay, are there any…
40
00:04:43.660 --> 00:04:49.520
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Suggestions? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I think,
like.
41
00:04:50.200 --> 00:04:55.230
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): One of the things that would maybe get
teens going to this event a lot more often is, like.
42
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.449
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Mentioning finances that are related to
teams, like.
43
00:04:58.590 --> 00:05:02.400
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): How is, funds for school managed, or
whatever it may?
44
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:07.150
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): or the, like, whatever the lane you live
on? A lot of, students are also, like.
45
00:05:07.470 --> 00:05:12.440
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're into business or that field, so,
like, if you could maybe include a sector that sort of connects
46
00:05:12.760 --> 00:05:20.489
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): that big dock of budget into what they've
been learning in, like, business class or whatever. That would definitely
get a lot more teenagers to come to these events.
47
00:05:20.850 --> 00:05:25.189
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I was gonna… This would be pretty
similar, like…
48
00:05:25.410 --> 00:05:29.899
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Business clubs is a great idea. Sorry,
business classes, or, like, business clubs such as.
49
00:05:29.900 --> 00:05:49.480
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): like DECA or FBLA, I know there's a lot of
projects involved in clubs as well as, in class as well, so maybe
reaching out to, like, some of, like, the school districts or reaching
out to some of these clubs would be probably a good idea, especially for,
like, the people interested in something like finance.
50
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:50.620
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, yeah.
51
00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:53.110
Toni Oasay-Anderson: Appreciate that feedback, thank you.
52
00:05:54.970 --> 00:05:59.500
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, I had… Well, with love this session.
53
00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:16.820
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): of times, the kinds of projects that they
work on to submit to competitions and conferences, sometimes they
involve, like, financial analyses of real-world corporations, or
sometimes, like, other systems, which could include cities, so I feel
like they would really enjoy having,
54
00:06:17.080 --> 00:06:30.050
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): you know, getting to know how to use this
tool. So, if there's, like, flyers, or what we can do is just spread the
word in these specific communities in our business classes and our
business clubs about the event.
55
00:06:32.310 --> 00:06:47.229
Toni Oasay-Anderson: That would be great. I appreciate that feedback, and
so moving forward, if, you know, say, if we have another event coming
soon, would it be just best to kind of just reach out to you all, I guess
via email to… and connect that way? Or,
56
00:06:47.230 --> 00:06:56.859
Toni Oasay-Anderson: just let me know what would be best in terms of
starting those types of conversations of how we can make this, like, you
know, a successful, you know, just partnership, like a collaboration.
57
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:04.919
Toni Oasay-Anderson: on working on the city's, you know, educating the
public, or educating everybody about the city's finances, and utilizing
these types of resources.
58
00:07:06.780 --> 00:07:07.839
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): For sure, you could…
59
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.099
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): You could email our liaison.
60
00:07:14.050 --> 00:07:27.510
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): email to the Team Commission email. I
think we all get that, email forwarded to us. And, of course, if there's
flyers you'd like us to, like, put up in our, like, bulletin boards, you
can come drop them off at a meeting, and we can take some.
61
00:07:28.750 --> 00:07:31.030
Toni Oasay-Anderson: Awesome. Thank you so much.
62
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.880
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Were there any more suggestions?
63
00:07:35.500 --> 00:07:38.590
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, are there any questions?
64
00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:41.529
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there any public comment?
65
00:07:42.090 --> 00:07:48.300
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There is nobody online, and I don't have
any speaker cards, so… no. Okay. Any comments?
66
00:07:49.470 --> 00:07:52.319
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, thank you so much for the
presentation.
67
00:07:52.950 --> 00:07:54.680
Toni Oasay-Anderson: Thank you, Alan, nice to meet you.
68
00:07:54.830 --> 00:07:56.199
Toni Oasay-Anderson: Have a good evening.
69
00:07:58.860 --> 00:07:59.830
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thanks, Danny.
70
00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:14.760
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, now we'll move on to subject, or
sorry, item 2. Subject is youth-led organization unmuted Tabs, and
recommended action is receive a presentation from youth-led organization
unmuted Tabs for a team commission highlight program.
71
00:08:15.770 --> 00:08:17.530
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Give me a sec, guys. Sure.
72
00:08:20.190 --> 00:08:22.749
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The reason I'm not seeing it here now.
73
00:08:23.580 --> 00:08:24.500
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There we go.
74
00:08:38.230 --> 00:08:39.370
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): You're all set.
75
00:08:42.830 --> 00:08:48.209
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Good evening, this is Anita Clabs, a teen
health, podcast created by Teensform.
76
00:08:48.212 --> 00:08:48.902
Quinlan Conf Room: teeth.
77
00:08:53.190 --> 00:09:03.619
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): My name is Madhavi, I'm a sophomore at
Monta Vista High School, and I'm in charge of outreach for our team, and
a fun fact about me is that I met on a plane when I was 8 days old.
78
00:09:05.130 --> 00:09:14.380
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hi, I'm Rishi, I'm also a sophomore at
Mona Vista High School, and I'm in charge of athletic planning. And a fun
fact about me is that I've been doing swimming dance for the past 12
years.
79
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:17.039
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hello, I'm Nishi, and I'm a junior.
80
00:09:17.045 --> 00:09:19.465
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm Mona Vista High School, and I'm a
tourist.
81
00:09:19.465 --> 00:09:25.264
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): of social media, and a fun fact about me
is I can play 5 different instruments.
82
00:09:30.650 --> 00:09:50.449
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): When we were researching about challenges
that teens face across the Bay Area, we found three major challenges.
First is social pressure, future preparation, and internal emotional
regulation. For social pressure, many teens feel like they're not being
included in everything, or they aren't experiencing everything around
them.
83
00:09:50.450 --> 00:10:07.030
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And which makes them have a negative view
on themselves, or maybe towards how they're living. Secondly is the
social… a negative social environment and toxic relationships, as they
often have a negative impact on a teen's mental health, and toxic
relationships and neg…
84
00:10:07.540 --> 00:10:14.109
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The environment can also be physically
harmful to a teen, but will always also be
85
00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:38.240
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): harmful to a teen's mental health, and as
teens grow up, they also face disconnection with parents. As teens grow
up into young adults, they often feel like they have different views or
values compared to their parents, and this often leads to a disconnection
with them. Additionally, as teens also are growing up and managing high
school with everything else, they often feel like they don't have enough
time to devote to their family or
86
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:41.740
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Parents and, have a disconnection due to
that.
87
00:10:41.740 --> 00:10:47.129
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And lastly, they also face imposter
syndrome, where they might try everything they can, for example.
88
00:10:47.210 --> 00:10:55.839
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): studying, or getting straight A's, and
showing up for all their friends, for all their important things, but
still feel like they're undeserving of all the accomplishments they have.
89
00:10:56.790 --> 00:11:11.760
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Adding on to the previous challenge, I
think future planning is also one of the biggest problems or challenges
amongst Bay Area teams especially. So just career planning, the pressure
to figure out future, or at least just major career life path, can feel
like
90
00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:22.590
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): everyday decision is permanent, which
leads to anxiety and impairment going around for us, and also parental
pressure does not help in this instance, because I know a bunch of
91
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:32.900
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Expectations around grades, careers, and
successes, which can make teens feel judged or not good enough, leading
to self-worth becoming tied to only achievements.
92
00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:56.129
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): And this is a recent and very relevant
case where AI causes decline in originality, because all of the… when
you're focused on success, you don't really care about where the source
is coming from, so you start overly relying on AI tools for work, leading
to less confidence and personal ideas and creativity, leading to students
feeling like their own thinking isn't strong enough.
93
00:11:56.130 --> 00:12:04.060
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): And burnout and unproductiveness in
overloaded schedules such as school, extracurricular, social life,
parental expectations.
94
00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:07.709
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can lead to constant stress, leading to
exhaustion.
95
00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:13.710
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): The third challenge that we discussed as a
team was internal emotional.
96
00:12:13.715 --> 00:12:19.865
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): regulation, such as anxiety. Many students
struggle with anxiety and feel unable to
97
00:12:20.415 --> 00:12:22.395
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Unable to speak to it about.
98
00:12:22.400 --> 00:12:34.909
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): into other people. There is also
depression. Teens often feel ignored, or they ignore the signs of
depression, like feeling extremely sad, or having the inability to carry
out daily activities.
99
00:12:35.210 --> 00:12:46.329
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's also social anxiety. Students
often experience an intense concern with their appearance and a fear of
being judged, which makes them avoid social activities.
100
00:12:46.510 --> 00:12:54.300
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Students also often feel isolated and are
too scared to speak about it, leading to a high risk of mental health
issues.
101
00:12:57.310 --> 00:13:07.310
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): A few solutions we came up for these
challenges. First, for social pressure is limiting the triggers. For
example, if you find yourself comparing often for teens, it's through
social media.
102
00:13:07.310 --> 00:13:17.610
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): your life to other people's, and you feel
like it's having a negative impact, it's probably the time to take your,
turn off your phone and focus on the work that you have to do.
103
00:13:17.640 --> 00:13:35.669
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Second is choosing the circle, choosing
your social circle carefully. For example, it is important first to draw
boundaries with your friends and family to ensure those boundaries are
met and not stepped over. It's also important to choose your circle
wisefully, as you will choose people in your circle who actually do care
about you and want the best food.
104
00:13:35.710 --> 00:13:54.959
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And lastly, it is to change the mindset to
see the positive in things instead of the negative. If you feel
overwhelmed with all the negativity in your life, it is important to make
a list of all the things you're grateful for with the other side saying
maybe things you're not happy with. And often the things you're grateful
for and positive about will overrule the things that you're not.
105
00:13:56.230 --> 00:14:10.280
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): A few solutions that we came up for future
information are finding ways to use AI in a positive way, such as using
it as a support tool for brainstorming, explaining, or organizing, which
will in turn help reduce stress without replacing thinking.
106
00:14:10.290 --> 00:14:29.729
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Another solution is to use, or teach AI
literacy in schools and how to use it responsibly. I feel like there's
not enough material that goes around in schools nowadays, and to use AI
for outlines and ideas only, not final answers. A personal rule I think
you should implement is AI helps me think, not think formative.
107
00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:47.240
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): There are also strategic ways of
productivity, like focusing on working smarter and not just harder, which
reduces burnout and improves efficiency. A few examples are time block
based on energy, where it's hard tasks when most focused, instead of the
two to three priority rules instead of long to the rules.
108
00:14:47.810 --> 00:14:55.280
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): We should also implement schools offering
flex deadlines for mental health days, And that could help.
109
00:14:55.430 --> 00:14:58.460
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Healthy communication between child and
parents.
110
00:14:58.740 --> 00:15:16.059
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): that open up conversations, reduce stress
and pressure, and helps teens feel supported and self-judged. I think
monthly check-ins about stress, not just grades, can help teens focus
more on effort and growth, not just results. And I think that schools
should host parenting mental health workshops.
111
00:15:16.350 --> 00:15:18.660
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Some solutions that we came up.
112
00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:27.170
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): With for internal emotional regulations is
explaining the differences and causes of anxiety, depression, and rest.
113
00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:37.110
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, us as a team, we would break down the
core differences between stress and anxiety, which will help students
understand that while stress is external, exact…
114
00:15:37.810 --> 00:15:39.050
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): responsibility.
115
00:15:39.560 --> 00:15:52.589
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): It will also teach them to become more
mindful about what they intake, will help students recognize the trap on
social media, and how comparing themselves to others leads to feeling
insecure or isolated.
116
00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:59.169
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We will also help them find their coping
strategy. Everybody has different ways to cope with mental health.
117
00:15:59.470 --> 00:16:07.460
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Some lean towards puzzles, while others
lean towards journaling. We will help students find what works best for
them.
118
00:16:10.180 --> 00:16:12.820
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): The major component for our,
119
00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:30.230
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): project is to have podcasts. These
podcasts will be 30 minutes, and you would release them regularly. They
would sometimes feature guest speakers to not only help with their
credibility, but also to provide better advice from people who have
either gone through specific situations or have, an expert opinion on it.
120
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:33.219
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Our main goal with this is to provide a…
121
00:16:34.070 --> 00:16:38.359
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Except for a true connection, and not for
something,
122
00:16:38.680 --> 00:16:53.289
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And offer something that provides,
advertisement or any such things. One way we want to do this is by having
anonymous surveys, for people to fill out, not only by… not only for
feedback, but also to ask questions that we could answer in our podcast
or personally.
123
00:16:54.950 --> 00:16:58.600
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Another way that we plan on doing this is
by social media.
124
00:16:58.605 --> 00:17:15.865
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): outreach. Primarily, we'll be using
Instagram while we will post our research regarding mental health to make
topics like anxiety and stress easy for students to understand. We will
also be using TikTok for behind the scenes to show the authentic,
unfiltered side of our work, helping
125
00:17:16.125 --> 00:17:29.414
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Helping to break down the unrealistic
images that often kids see on social media. We also have a website where
you can find the topics that we discuss in our episodes, along with links
to access
126
00:17:29.565 --> 00:17:33.184
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): Podcast, and also the anonymous form
previously mentioned.
127
00:17:33.415 --> 00:17:40.524
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We will, we will also use Spotify and
YouTube, where we will regularly post the podcast episodes.
128
00:17:41.080 --> 00:17:55.930
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): And lastly, we use community advocacy to
implement this. We will participate in local community fairs to promote
mental health awareness. These events will help us reach people beyond
our school community. We want to create interactive and engaging ways to
start conversations about mental health.
129
00:17:55.930 --> 00:18:08.590
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we will collaborate with other
established Bay Area clubs to expand our reach and impact. Working
together will bring diverse perspectives and ideas, and partnerships help
normalize mental health discussions across disciplines.
130
00:18:08.590 --> 00:18:26.810
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): We will also work with the Cupertino
Public Library to connect with the broader community and help share
accessible mental health resources through trusted spaces. And lastly, we
will host our sport events that encourage open conversations. Our goal is
to make mental health awareness more inclusive and…
131
00:18:28.710 --> 00:18:33.339
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Once again, this is a teen mental health
podcast by Teens for Teens. Thank you for listening.
132
00:18:39.710 --> 00:18:43.900
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you for that presentation, everyone.
Now it's time for questions.
133
00:18:45.580 --> 00:18:53.260
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, so I feel like on your last slide
for this one, Sorry, but I mentioned that…
134
00:18:53.450 --> 00:18:58.320
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, you're working with other clubs in
the Bay, do you have any, like, specific examples of that, or…
135
00:18:58.510 --> 00:18:59.340
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): So…
136
00:18:59.345 --> 00:19:05.295
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Currently, we were planning on partnering
with Cyber for Youth to have a podcast about cybersecurity.
137
00:19:06.735 --> 00:19:13.085
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Could you provide some impacts, just any
sort of impacts that, or any examples of impact, like.
138
00:19:13.090 --> 00:19:15.909
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): or anything like that that club has had so
far.
139
00:19:16.825 --> 00:19:34.824
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): As a growing club, we haven't had, like,
the biggest following or anything right now, but we do aim to have a
bigger following and obviously have a bigger viewership. But right now,
we have been focusing on Instagram, and making, like, a website for
people to access and learn about us before they start listening to our
podcast.
140
00:19:34.825 --> 00:19:43.065
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, on the Insta post, or on the
website, is the… what do you actually post about, or put on the website?
141
00:19:43.065 --> 00:19:43.845
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): on…
142
00:19:43.845 --> 00:19:57.085
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Instagram, we might post about the coming
up podcasts. We also might focus on posting about certain mental health-
related problems that teens face, for example, anxiety, depression, as
Nishi said before.
143
00:19:57.085 --> 00:20:04.415
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And on our website, we have the anonymous
survey, and also we will be uploading our podcasts for easy access.
144
00:20:05.835 --> 00:20:08.205
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, it belongs.
145
00:20:08.205 --> 00:20:17.864
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, we already posted something on our
Instagram, and it was just research on, like, teen mental health and,
like, anxiety, and how to regulate that as a day-to-day student.
146
00:20:19.060 --> 00:20:37.600
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, thank you very much for the
presentation. I just have a few questions about, like, you guys mentioned
that you guys are very podcast-oriented, so I just wanted to under… get
an understanding of what's been done so far, like, for example, what are,
like, some of the podcasts you've, published, what are some of, like, the
guest speakers, stuff like that?
147
00:20:40.250 --> 00:20:55.380
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So currently we are planning a
collaboration with Cyber Free Loop, and it should be coming out pretty
soon, and then we might have another one coming in later with another
organization called, State of the Mind.
148
00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:58.460
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): And we're just reaching out to other
organizations.
149
00:20:58.800 --> 00:21:00.920
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): I sense it. Okay, and then,
150
00:21:00.925 --> 00:21:18.205
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I also noticed you guys mentioned
something about mental health days, like, having, like, a day off from
school, so I was just wondering, like, how do you plan on getting this
class? Like, is it… are you guys considering it being an official holiday
and a few HSD holiday? California, like… I just wanted to understand,
like, what was…
151
00:21:18.205 --> 00:21:32.734
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): So right now, it's not really, like,
implementing it into the FMHSD system, it's just, like, if you take a day
off for mental health, like, it should be a legitimate reason to skip
school. For example, like, sick days, like, you'll take a sick day off.
Like, that's a legitimate reason…
152
00:21:32.735 --> 00:21:33.205
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): do it.
153
00:21:33.205 --> 00:21:37.054
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I think Mental Health Day should be
awesome.
154
00:21:37.535 --> 00:21:40.034
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, thank you.
155
00:21:40.425 --> 00:21:47.675
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): earlier, how long has your organization
existed for? And then, second, you mentioned advocacy.
156
00:21:47.785 --> 00:21:51.344
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): What's this advocacy actually entail?
157
00:21:52.615 --> 00:21:54.775
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): We've been active for.
158
00:21:54.780 --> 00:21:57.169
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, 4 to 5 times fish.
159
00:21:57.170 --> 00:21:58.310
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Both pages?
160
00:21:58.310 --> 00:21:58.920
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let me explain.
161
00:22:00.785 --> 00:22:11.595
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): On your slide, you mentioned advocacy. The
main actionable examples seem to go into community fairs. So, for
instance, you go to the fairs, what would…
162
00:22:12.025 --> 00:22:20.865
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): What would you talk about at the fairs,
and then what other instances of advocacy might you be advocating for,
and how might you achieve that advocacy?
163
00:22:21.455 --> 00:22:23.225
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): So…
164
00:22:23.625 --> 00:22:34.855
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): we're small, I would say we'd probably
start by, like, talking about our research, about what we have so far,
and then just getting it out there, honestly, and then so people can
listen to our podcast, give us more questions to build upon.
165
00:22:41.110 --> 00:22:45.820
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Can you, like, speak about the podcasts
you have done so far?
166
00:22:46.045 --> 00:22:46.975
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm more than chocolate.
167
00:22:46.975 --> 00:22:49.364
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And also, like, do you know how often.
168
00:22:49.370 --> 00:22:50.130
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): We want to post.
169
00:22:50.130 --> 00:23:10.090
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): podcasts? So, we haven't had, we haven't
released any of our podcasts yet, but we are currently working on our
first episode, and right now, we want to do one, like, every month, but
we aim to do at least twice, like, two episodes per month, or two
episodes per one and a half months, or something.
170
00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:18.649
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, adding on to your question about the
podcast, like, do you know how many monthly listeners.
171
00:23:18.650 --> 00:23:20.340
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): energy on Spotify.
172
00:23:22.050 --> 00:23:25.790
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I'm sorry, there's a question.
173
00:23:32.630 --> 00:23:33.489
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you.
174
00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:38.139
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hi, I can hear you.
175
00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:41.029
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): So how have we been prioritizing data
still?
176
00:23:41.380 --> 00:24:00.679
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): During the four months, we prioritized
basically just reaching out. We also did a lot of research where we found
professors we could potentially reach out to again for podcast episodes
or just, feedback or help in general to, guide us to a project. And, we
also
177
00:24:00.930 --> 00:24:06.199
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Planned out our scripts for a few of the
podcasts to understand where,
178
00:24:06.360 --> 00:24:09.699
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): To have, like, a clear roadmap and make
sure our deadlines.
179
00:24:13.450 --> 00:24:36.040
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): I noticed that there's a lot of, like,
very similar mental health organizations, like, not only youth-led, but
there's also, like, a lot of, like, official government-based resources
for teenagers. I know, like, there's, like, for example, like, Suicide
Prevention Line, a lot of, like, other, like.gov resources, so I just
wanted to ask, like, what is something new that you guys bring to the
table compared to these other,
180
00:24:36.320 --> 00:24:40.919
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): pretty, like, decently established
organizations. So…
181
00:24:40.925 --> 00:24:58.995
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): We want to focus starting small. So right
now, our focus is mainly Bay Area teens, which is not really something
that's in the media right now. Like, I know there's, like, a bunch of
teen mental health podcasts, like, teen mental health resources, suicide
prevention, online mental health, but there's not really Bay Area mental
health.
182
00:24:59.810 --> 00:25:01.839
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): She's going around right now.
183
00:25:02.335 --> 00:25:03.735
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's what we want to get out.
184
00:25:04.025 --> 00:25:05.105
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): What's that?
185
00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:17.120
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Also want to be very, like, truthful and
unfiltered about everything we, share about, as we said before, which
means that we don't want to, like, false advertise any, anything, or,
put…
186
00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:23.970
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or maybe make, like, specific mental
health issue seem like it's not very important or anything.
187
00:25:23.970 --> 00:25:48.839
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, in terms of making it different, we
want to, again, like Oshi said, we want to make it small and then grow
it, which, which means that we can focus starting small, which means that
we can focus on local communities first before we spread out, which means
that when we're focusing on local communities, we can talk one-on-one.
And through our anonymous surveys, we can also get questions and feedback
to improve how we deal with
188
00:25:48.840 --> 00:25:52.719
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Or how we, decide to act with a project.
189
00:25:53.660 --> 00:25:54.600
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Baby.
190
00:25:57.040 --> 00:25:58.750
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, when you say, like.
191
00:25:59.620 --> 00:26:04.120
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): the unfiltered, like… I've got all that
much shit, like…
192
00:26:04.600 --> 00:26:10.069
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): we're gonna provide more truthful or,
like, more blunt responses. How exactly have you done that so far?
193
00:26:30.070 --> 00:26:31.410
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, I think they mentioned it.
194
00:26:31.610 --> 00:26:33.839
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Podcasts so far, so…
195
00:26:38.230 --> 00:26:41.189
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): You guys did mention that you have, like,
the Instagram…
196
00:26:41.540 --> 00:26:59.989
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): the website. There's a… I remember, like,
I think when answering one of the questions, you mentioned something
about an anonymous reporting form. I was just wondering how that was
going, if you guys got any engagement, and, like, in the future, if there
were to be any, like, reports, what exactly would be done about those?
197
00:27:00.790 --> 00:27:04.410
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Well, obviously, if it is an emergency,
198
00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:29.229
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, the anonymous form is filled out by
someone who is in an emergency. Obviously, that's not something we would
deal with, because we aren't, I guess, capable of dealing with, or,
certified to deal with such situations. But if there are, like, small
problems, like maybe, like, a teen is facing problems with their friend
group, or they're having trouble communicating things with their friend
group, and they would just ask a simple question like that, we would
probably answer that.
199
00:27:29.430 --> 00:27:33.870
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): In our podcast, anonymously, or we would
just answer it to them personally.
200
00:27:36.910 --> 00:27:45.350
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have some quick questions. So, as a
relatively new organization, what is your plans for finding funding?
201
00:27:45.670 --> 00:27:47.179
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Fund all of these things.
202
00:27:49.140 --> 00:28:08.430
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So… our… basically, our project doesn't
require a lot of funding, because it is podcasts, which is just invest…
which makes… which means we just have to invest our time, creating our
scripts, reaching out to people, and recording, editing, all of that. And
we don't really have to,
203
00:28:08.620 --> 00:28:26.619
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, have funding for defense. Unless, we
do do, for community advocacy, if we were to do, like, a fair that is
hosted by us specifically… But since we haven't really found doing that,
we just found, collaborating with all the existing groups.
204
00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:31.649
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, for example, the Cupertino Library,
established organization.
205
00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:35.050
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Have a fair, or maybe, when…
206
00:28:35.300 --> 00:28:41.830
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think the Cupertino Park has a fair to
have us all there and express, explain our
207
00:28:41.930 --> 00:28:43.420
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Project there.
208
00:28:44.110 --> 00:28:47.399
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so you already have, like, the
podcasting equipment and stuff?
209
00:28:47.570 --> 00:28:51.130
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, cool. And…
210
00:28:51.850 --> 00:28:58.700
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, how do you plan to go beyond, general
advice that teens would already get? Because it seems like you're…
211
00:28:58.760 --> 00:29:03.560
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Trying to address, like, a gap here,
right, for teen mental health.
212
00:29:03.560 --> 00:29:21.110
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): How do you plan to, like, offer something
different to teens, given the fact that a lot of people in this age group
do end up hearing things like, just get off your phone, stuff like that?
Like, where does your advice specifically come from, and how do you work
on making it relatable, or actionable, or anything else?
213
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:28.319
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, as we said, we want to make it
unfiltered, and…
214
00:29:28.325 --> 00:29:41.224
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, we may not have evidence for such
things right now, but I think one way we could make it unfiltered is by
providing, like, our specific stories. Like, me personally, I find myself
procrastinating so much, so many times.
215
00:29:41.225 --> 00:30:06.174
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, like, it takes time to build
discipline, but maybe just sharing, like, a story about how I work on my
discipline, and just, being, like, truthful about it, and just sharing
that to people, and teens hearing about it, could just feel like a sense
of more connection, as they know that, like, someone out there in the Bay
Area, specifically, going to maybe their same school or a school district
is facing the same thing, and it's okay, completely okay for them
216
00:30:06.175 --> 00:30:14.265
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): tend to feel a little, unproductive or
overwhelmed sometimes, but as long as they keep working on, maybe, like,
for me, their discipline, they got them.
217
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:22.269
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I think, adding on to my thought, we being
barrier teens ourselves, I think we already have some of that personal
connection already gapped.
218
00:30:22.270 --> 00:30:35.300
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): for, like, met, because I remember her,
like, talking to a senior of mine, and she was telling me about how she
procrastinated, like, all of a sudden, and, like, her mental health
issues, and I find it… I found it, like, way more comforting, and…
219
00:30:35.300 --> 00:30:37.930
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): More relatable when she told me about it.
220
00:30:39.890 --> 00:30:42.870
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Got it. Thank you. Any other questions?
221
00:30:43.040 --> 00:30:44.839
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll just…
222
00:30:45.045 --> 00:30:49.385
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): A, like, how do you advertise? Say you're,
like.
223
00:30:49.615 --> 00:30:53.304
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): focused on the Bay Area, do you, like,
reach out to schools?
224
00:30:53.310 --> 00:30:53.840
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright, thank you.
225
00:30:53.845 --> 00:31:02.105
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): how do you advertise that? And also, I
think Sameda sort of touched on this, but have you gotten any responses
on your forum?
226
00:31:06.485 --> 00:31:22.265
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): So for the advertising part, we have
reached out to, obviously, a few clubs for, for a potential
collaboration, so we can talk to them, since they are already
established, they're well known, and if we've,
227
00:31:22.265 --> 00:31:27.104
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): collaborate with them, it might make us
more well-mo, too. And then for the…
228
00:31:27.205 --> 00:31:36.014
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): anonymous survey. We have just, released
the link, so we aren't sure if we have gotten, answers to that.
229
00:31:38.130 --> 00:31:44.970
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): final questions for me then? I just want
to ask, like, what's the, like, long-term, like, gloves.
230
00:31:44.970 --> 00:31:58.010
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): the podcast, because, like, after maybe,
like, a couple years, right, like, you guys might graduate from senior
year, would you continue from there? Or, other stuff, such as, like.
231
00:31:58.310 --> 00:32:05.019
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): How do you keep coming up with more
topics, right, to split out two episodes every month or so?
232
00:32:05.770 --> 00:32:21.400
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): So I think mental health is a topic that's
constantly changing, so definitely, like, passing it on to, people. So, I
think, yeah, so we'll probably continue it, like, by sharing or making it
bigger.
233
00:32:24.670 --> 00:32:29.639
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, thank you for the questions, and
thank you for all your answers. Is there any public comment?
234
00:32:30.080 --> 00:32:33.040
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're actually made me.
235
00:32:35.300 --> 00:32:42.510
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We don't, let's see. They don't have their
hands raised, so, I do have one person online.
236
00:32:44.630 --> 00:32:48.479
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They do not have their hand raised. So,
237
00:32:49.260 --> 00:32:51.710
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, no, we don't have any public comment.
238
00:32:52.370 --> 00:32:53.350
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, care.
239
00:32:54.270 --> 00:33:00.749
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Since there's no public comment, is there
any final comment from the Commission?
240
00:33:01.970 --> 00:33:02.800
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
241
00:33:02.900 --> 00:33:06.290
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you so much for your presentation.
Thank you for having us.
242
00:33:18.390 --> 00:33:19.230
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
243
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:32.849
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now we're moving on to our third item. The
subject is City of Cupertino Summer Jobs Presentation, and recommended
action is receive a presentation on City of Cupertino Summer Jobs from
Recreation Coordinator Mariah Green.
244
00:33:36.620 --> 00:33:42.910
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hello! Some of you might recognize some of
them being out at events, especially the.
245
00:33:42.910 --> 00:33:58.409
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): So I'm just gonna talk to you guys a
little bit about our summer recruitment specifically. So, our department,
we recruit in a couple areas, mostly for,
246
00:33:58.620 --> 00:34:07.930
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, part-time seasonal summer
positions. So we have a few different options. We have recreation
leaders, senior recreation leaders.
247
00:34:07.930 --> 00:34:22.100
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): customer service attendants, lifeguards,
and then we also recruit during the same time for our LIT program, the
Leader in Training program. So I'm just going to talk to you guys, kind
of go over some of the areas we have,
248
00:34:22.250 --> 00:34:35.249
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): fully staffed, but just so you guys know
what we recruit for, we do this every year, so that way you're aware, and
you can kind of spread the word, or if you're still around the area, you
guys know by next year.
249
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:46.219
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, myself, and my colleague Demise, we
recruit for recreation leaders and senior recreation leaders in a few of
our summer camps.
250
00:34:46.260 --> 00:34:55.789
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): So the City of Cupertino offers an array
of summer camps. Some of them are through contracted businesses, and
others are our city-run camps.
251
00:34:55.820 --> 00:35:07.700
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's gonna be, the two programs that I
oversee. It's the Adventure Camps and the Preschool Ventures, and those
are all here at this location from the Community Center.
252
00:35:07.710 --> 00:35:16.210
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Preschool Adventures is for our little
guys, so ages 3 to 5, and then Adventure Camp is actually for kids ages 6
to 11.
253
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:25.840
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): These camps are kind of like your
typical, like, summer camps. So, like, dodgeball, tag, crafts.
254
00:35:26.070 --> 00:35:38.670
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Just fun stuff to keep them busy and
active through the summer. And then we have our summer camps, the nature
and science camps, out at McClellan Ranch Preserve. That's with my
colleague, DeMiles.
255
00:35:38.670 --> 00:35:50.339
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): He… well, fun fact about summer camps, we
get to… I think one of the first is creating our camp names. So, DeMiles
out at the salon, his name's Steelhead.
256
00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:59.650
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): My camping clear has been Panda, so
everybody from me all the way down from senior rec to rec leaders, we all
get camp names.
257
00:35:59.650 --> 00:36:12.019
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): So if you see me out here in the
summertime, just call me old panda. But basically, so the camps out at
McClellan, they're nature and science-driven, so they do a lot of, like,
walking along the trail,
258
00:36:12.340 --> 00:36:19.190
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): If you guys have ever been out there,
they've got, like, the lizards and the snakes and stuff.
259
00:36:19.200 --> 00:36:36.599
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): buds and the tree collars over there. So
those are the camps over there, and those age, ranges are from 6 to 9, so
a little bit older, but still kind of the age range of, like, young
children. So the positions that we recruit for…
260
00:36:36.640 --> 00:36:52.970
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): The recreation leaders, they're kind of
like our Level 1 staff, so, you work in a team of typically, anywhere
from, like, 6 to 8, team members that you'll be out there with.
261
00:36:52.970 --> 00:37:02.469
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And you're supervising anywhere from 24
to 40 children all together as a group. And basically, you're leading
games,
262
00:37:02.470 --> 00:37:16.569
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): planning and programming, so you get to
help run the daily schedule, make sure everything's running in accordance
with the schedule. Always, our number one is travel safety, so making
sure the sites are safe.
263
00:37:16.580 --> 00:37:19.509
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And really, it's just really fun, because
you're just like.
264
00:37:19.930 --> 00:37:30.829
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): entertaining kids all day long. So if you
know anybody that's interested in that, definitely send them our way.
Again, it's for this location or at McClellan.
265
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:49.599
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): We also have our senior recreation
leaders, so those are like, like a Level 2 staff. So basically, senior
rec is somebody who's coming to us with a little bit more experience,
whether it's in camp life or other jobs, or maybe, other volunteers.
266
00:37:50.040 --> 00:38:13.449
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): that has a lot of, hours both working
with children. Basically, you're kind of almost like the site lead, and
so, you are doing the actual planning and programming, so planning out
the schedule, each activity that the kids are doing all day long,
planning, helping implement the projects that we're doing, the crafts.
267
00:38:13.470 --> 00:38:20.819
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): any funds, special activities, the senior
recs are kind of taking leadership of that, as well as being…
268
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.320
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): almost,
269
00:38:23.610 --> 00:38:39.640
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): in a way, like a supervisor on site,
because you're the lead out there. So, the rec leaders could look to a
senior rec as, like, hey, we had achievements scheduled, what do you
think we should do? So you kind of take a little bit more ownership than
the rec leaders of the program.
270
00:38:39.640 --> 00:38:43.860
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And again, that's here and at McClellan.
271
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:52.540
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, we also recruit for positions
at Blackberry Farm. So, they have a couple different,
272
00:38:52.660 --> 00:38:55.799
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): positions available over there, through
the summer.
273
00:38:55.800 --> 00:39:14.799
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): They recruit typically, which is
unfortunately already full, so we do have customer service attendance,
and they help in the kiosk out there, so if any of you guys have been out
there, there's the pool out there, and they help kind of check people in
over there, process payment, get them ready to get into the pool.
274
00:39:14.820 --> 00:39:20.729
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And they help also out there at the cafe,
I think it's going on in the cafe a little bit.
275
00:39:21.470 --> 00:39:38.749
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes. Yeah. Yeah, okay. So just, kind of
your general customer service that you're floating at, being a face to
the public and helping anybody with any service needs that they… that
come up out there. And then a big recruitment for out there, it's gonna
be our lifeguards and swim instructors.
276
00:39:38.750 --> 00:39:51.560
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): So over there, I… I believe it might
still be open, so if nobody's interested, the moment there soon, because
training is actually next week. It starts when you guys go on Spring
Lake.
277
00:39:51.580 --> 00:40:05.180
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): But basically, the perk of becoming a
lifeguard with the city is, we do the certification for you, so, to be a
lifeguard, you have to be certified, so they still test out to prove that
you can
278
00:40:05.180 --> 00:40:20.439
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): save somebody's life in the water. But a
lot of places, you have to go do that on your own and then go work for
them, but a benefit for us is we will help you get through that train.
So, if you're ever interested, either now or in the future, it's
definitely good to keep in mind
279
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:31.339
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): that, once you apply, it's also at a
younger age, 15 and older, so, a little bit of an advantage there. You
can apply, be a lifeguard with us, and we can pass the test.
280
00:40:31.340 --> 00:40:48.949
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): If you become a lifeguard, you also have,
like, a dual responsibility of being a swim instructor also. So another
benefit for our city is that we offer, private and semi-private swim
lessons. So you get to, kind of wear a couple different hats in that
position, which is beneficial.
281
00:40:48.950 --> 00:41:03.680
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because you're not only just kind of
supervising and being eyes on deck as a lifeguard, you're also
interacting with parents and children and people within our community as
their STO instructor. So, there's definitely a couple different benefits
to that position.
282
00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:11.549
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, to kind of close it out, we,
recruit for, I think a couple weeks…
283
00:41:12.180 --> 00:41:26.039
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): our Leader in Training Programs, LIT,
which, has been around for quite a while and works with us in our summer
camps, so here at Quinlan, in the Adventure Camps and Preschool ventures,
and also at McClellan.
284
00:41:26.300 --> 00:41:32.389
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): So these guys are like, almost like a…
285
00:41:32.540 --> 00:41:51.550
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): junior instructors. So, they're in camps
with us to basically learn, how we are leaders in camps. And they are
also taking leadership roles as well. If someone feels really
comfortable, we'll allow them to play the game, kind of take charge, and,
you know.
286
00:41:51.550 --> 00:41:58.850
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): campers needs help setting something up
for a game, we'll let the LITs take responsibility that way.
287
00:41:58.850 --> 00:42:11.469
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): It's definitely a really cool… what I've
seen through the years in my position, I'm going into my fourth summer
now. The camp kind of works in a full circle, so we definitely have
campers.
288
00:42:11.500 --> 00:42:29.880
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): that become LITs, and then our LITs go
through the program, and they eventually come if they're interested,
staff with us. So it's definitely a really cool circle to see, you know,
you have your community members as campers, and then they're volunteers,
and then they're staffed with us. So,
289
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:45.460
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): it's a really enjoyable part of summer
camps that I get to watch, and all the staff here. So, again, know
anybody that's interested, we recruit this every single year, so, next
year would be a great opportunity. This one is…
290
00:42:45.800 --> 00:43:04.389
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): 13 and older. So anybody that's 13 up to
17, they can always come and volunteer with us in our summer programs.
Lit's also really nice because they have us a pretty flexible schedule.
So, you just have to give us about 2-3 weeks of vision within summer.
291
00:43:04.390 --> 00:43:07.579
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, then you schedule a couple hours
292
00:43:07.700 --> 00:43:11.870
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Through the week with us, and you get to
come hang out and have fun with a bunch of kids.
293
00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:27.899
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that's kind of our summer recruitment.
The city's always recruiting for part-time positions through the year
for, you know, various roles, but, that's specifically for summer and in
our camps and
294
00:43:29.180 --> 00:43:31.119
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): You guys have questions for me?
295
00:43:31.500 --> 00:43:34.850
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you for the presentation. Are there
any questions?
296
00:43:36.830 --> 00:43:39.390
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I, saw this,
297
00:43:39.460 --> 00:44:03.099
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was looking at the governmentjobs.com
website earlier, and I saw this one position, which I thought was
interesting. It was, like, a summer staff assistant position. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, but for the McClellan Ranch one, the minimum age was 18, but for
the Quinlan one, the minimum age was 16. Interesting. Yeah, so was that…
is that, like, a team-focused… McClellan, sometimes? I'm not 100% sure,
but what.
298
00:44:03.105 --> 00:44:16.204
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm assuming, so this is just what I
think might be happening, because of McClellan's area, like, with the
nature of the ferry, it can get real-life situation really quick,
especially with, like.
299
00:44:16.305 --> 00:44:36.084
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): mountain lions or snakes or anything out
there. So they may be looking for somebody with more of, either a degree
or a serious background in nature, whether it's somebody maybe, like, a
past ranger or something like that, that has a lot more very nature-
driven experience.
300
00:44:36.085 --> 00:44:46.475
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Whereas here, our staff assistant, is a
bit higher role than the senior recs, and they're helping us more on the
back end, like, set up our camps.
301
00:44:46.475 --> 00:45:03.845
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Dealing with any problems that may arise
on a day-to-day basis, getting more behind the scenes and, like, emailing
customers, emailing contractors, things like that. So, McClellan also has
those roles, but I think because of their location, the position may be a
little bit more serious people.
302
00:45:04.055 --> 00:45:06.895
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, any more questions?
303
00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:09.830
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there any public comment?
304
00:45:10.050 --> 00:45:12.630
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have no hands.
305
00:45:12.635 --> 00:45:14.115
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): raised.
306
00:45:14.335 --> 00:45:17.324
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No speaker cards have been submitted, so
no.
307
00:45:17.325 --> 00:45:19.835
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, any other comments?
308
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:22.160
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you so much!
309
00:45:29.340 --> 00:45:48.430
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, now we're going to move on to
approval of minutes. Item number 4, subject is approval of… approval of
minutes March 11, 2026, and the recommended action is review and approve
the minutes from the Team Commission meeting March 11, 2026. We all have
the copy provided by Sonia.
310
00:47:10.730 --> 00:47:12.930
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I feel like a new airbrusher, it smells
really.
311
00:47:12.935 --> 00:47:13.395
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sweet.
312
00:47:13.395 --> 00:47:14.505
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Could be, yeah.
313
00:47:14.510 --> 00:47:16.050
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm not sure what's going on with that.
314
00:47:16.050 --> 00:47:17.529
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm sweet of you.
315
00:47:17.530 --> 00:47:18.170
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conf Room): Lowe's…
316
00:47:18.170 --> 00:47:18.820
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): What was the.
317
00:47:18.825 --> 00:47:22.054
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): That is, it's also…
318
00:47:24.400 --> 00:47:25.799
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is everyone done muting?
319
00:47:26.010 --> 00:47:28.539
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, are there any questions?
320
00:47:29.620 --> 00:47:31.269
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Is there any public comment?
321
00:47:32.140 --> 00:47:38.040
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now, there's no speaker cards and nobody
with their hand raised. Okay, any comments?
322
00:47:40.060 --> 00:47:42.080
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, is there a motion?
323
00:47:43.230 --> 00:47:47.599
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): minutes. I second.
324
00:47:49.610 --> 00:47:51.899
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll hand it over to Sonya for the vote.
325
00:47:53.700 --> 00:48:02.409
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Let's record that. Okay, this is to
approve the minutes, so to approve is yes. Commissioner Hsu?
326
00:48:02.670 --> 00:48:03.910
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Lau?
327
00:48:05.200 --> 00:48:09.990
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Absent. Commissioner, Vice Chair Liu? Yes.
328
00:48:10.650 --> 00:48:12.660
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Sharon Misfit? Yes.
329
00:48:12.900 --> 00:48:16.099
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Gao? Yes. Commissioner
Prakash?
330
00:48:16.770 --> 00:48:21.890
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Desmuth? First. Commissioner
Hwambi? Yes. Commissioner Kumar? Yes.
331
00:48:22.010 --> 00:48:23.380
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Motion classes.
332
00:48:24.660 --> 00:48:27.400
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Great. So there are no postponements.
333
00:48:28.820 --> 00:48:31.209
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are there any telecommunications?
334
00:48:32.350 --> 00:48:37.950
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There are no speaker cards, and don't need
your hands raised, so…
335
00:48:38.540 --> 00:48:52.560
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): There's no old business. Now, moving on to
new business, item number 5. Subject is unmuted tabs for Teen Commission
highlight program. Recommended action is discuss and evaluate unmuted
tabs.
336
00:48:53.180 --> 00:48:57.769
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): We've led organizations by, like, program.
337
00:49:05.490 --> 00:49:09.080
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): we'll have the… I'll do a presentation,
and then…
338
00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:13.700
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Question, the usual, yeah. Okay, give me
one sec to get this up.
339
00:49:35.730 --> 00:49:37.150
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
340
00:49:38.530 --> 00:49:39.570
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright.
341
00:49:39.940 --> 00:49:54.420
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you for having me, Commissioners. I
just wanted to start… we're going to do the evaluation of the youth-led
organization, Amita Tabs, who did come and present tonight. I just wanted
to…
342
00:49:54.620 --> 00:50:10.189
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): like, seeing everybody. I just wanted to,
before I go into the evaluation, I take their application, and then I put
that into presentation form. However, I did speak to the organization
about, the fact that
343
00:50:10.290 --> 00:50:26.249
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): they didn't meet, like, a lot of the
criteria, and I know we were, like, getting at that with the questions.
However, they had been interested in presenting through some sort of
format through the city to have some more exposure as they're getting
started. And so…
344
00:50:26.250 --> 00:50:48.649
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): just to let you know that I had already
indicated to them that, you know, we have this set of criteria, and if
they read that, they didn't meet some of the criteria. But that they were
welcome to come and present to get their, their organization out there,
and that they can always come back and reapply when they kind of meet
some of the criteria.
345
00:50:48.650 --> 00:50:50.470
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I'll leave with that.
346
00:50:50.890 --> 00:51:01.610
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So we're going to review the application,
we have our usual questions, which, all of you have become very good at
remembering, and remembering to ask them the questions.
347
00:51:02.150 --> 00:51:05.230
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): The organization is unmute a tab.
348
00:51:05.850 --> 00:51:09.969
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): tabs, sorry. They do have an Instagram
account.
349
00:51:11.240 --> 00:51:20.140
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They pretty much explained what they are,
but they're trying to get a podcast series up and going to talk about
mental health.
350
00:51:20.970 --> 00:51:32.619
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They had written that they've only been
active for 2-3 months. You can see that they're kind of in, like, the
research phase and getting, information about getting up and going on
their podcasts.
351
00:51:33.420 --> 00:51:45.889
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're planning on doing short-term
videos, I think, through your questions. You had figured out that they
haven't done quite yet their first podcast, but they're making plans.
352
00:51:48.780 --> 00:52:01.620
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): They have plans to pass things over to
underclassmen, but because they're just getting started, again, they
don't have a plan in place for that quite yet, and they're, sophomores in
high school.
353
00:52:03.060 --> 00:52:21.629
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): What makes it unique, that I… I think the
unmuted part is what they're trying to, maybe emphasize, that it's, like,
uncensored, unmuted, unfiltered, that it's kind of straight talk about,
mental health, awareness.
354
00:52:21.630 --> 00:52:25.069
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): For teens, and teens specifically in this
area.
355
00:52:26.560 --> 00:52:30.409
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then, I think also…
356
00:52:30.700 --> 00:52:36.619
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): that they're trying to get at, that
they're… their teams in the Bay Area trying to talk about
357
00:52:36.710 --> 00:52:52.070
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): what they're going through and their
shared, stories. So, I think that that's the plan for their podcast, is
to kind of make it, like, real life, real time, as far as, like, what's
happening in their school, in this area, with mental health.
358
00:52:53.730 --> 00:52:59.750
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, so that's just quickly to go through
the evaluation from their application.
359
00:52:59.940 --> 00:53:03.419
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I'll pass it back to you. Thank you.
Thank you.
360
00:53:03.425 --> 00:53:04.325
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): for that
361
00:53:04.435 --> 00:53:09.804
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now, are there any questions? We'll do
discussion in a bit, but for now, are there any questions?
362
00:53:10.190 --> 00:53:14.039
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): If they don't meet the requirements, then…
363
00:53:14.440 --> 00:53:18.139
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are we still able to give them a YLO, and…
364
00:53:18.350 --> 00:53:26.059
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): And in that, and even whatever the answer,
whatever Susie will we be discussing, if they don't meet the
requirements?
365
00:53:26.375 --> 00:53:42.565
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Definitely, that is, 100% up to you as a
commission, and, those are really guidelines for you to follow. Like, if
you felt like you were getting too many, and you were trying to be
discerning, then that's fine to, like,
366
00:53:43.135 --> 00:53:57.944
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): to stick strictly to your guidelines. But,
if you feel like, hey, this is an organization that might be worthy of
just having a shout-out to get started, if we want to support them in
that way, that's also an option for you.
367
00:53:59.730 --> 00:54:00.910
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any other questions?
368
00:54:01.650 --> 00:54:03.900
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, is there any public comment?
369
00:54:04.750 --> 00:54:09.710
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): There is nobody with their hand raised or
online, and there are no speaker cards, so no.
370
00:54:10.620 --> 00:54:13.779
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Alright, now it's time to comment slash
discuss.
371
00:54:14.250 --> 00:54:23.200
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, I'll lead with saying, I think it's a
great idea for an organization, but I… in my opinion, it's too early for
this right now.
372
00:54:23.550 --> 00:54:25.909
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, going off of that, I feel like.
373
00:54:25.910 --> 00:54:35.460
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): there's really not much to go off of,
given that there's… there hasn't been… like, I remember, like, when we
were asking a lot of questions, they had… they didn't really have
anything, like.
374
00:54:35.460 --> 00:54:52.980
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): podcasts published or, like, Instagram
statistics or anything, I feel like they're still in that development
stage, and I also feel like, in general, the idea was pretty unique,
like, compared to… like, I've seen a lot of other organizations do this,
a lot of, like, official, like, government-based
375
00:54:52.980 --> 00:55:08.869
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): do this, so I think, like, what, Sonya
said, I definitely agree with. Like, definitely recommend, like, waiting
a little bit of, like, giving them some time to at least discover, like,
what makes them unique and where they want to, like, really specialize in
their organization, and then, like.
376
00:55:08.870 --> 00:55:13.019
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conf Room): They're more than welcome to come back
when they have, like, some more stuff on the table shortly.
377
00:55:13.860 --> 00:55:19.910
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah, yeah, sort of expanding on that,
like, I feel like they have a pretty good cause, but…
378
00:55:20.230 --> 00:55:24.779
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): there… I feel like the way that they
approached it was generic, maybe?
379
00:55:25.010 --> 00:55:31.240
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): Because, like… Me and, like, two other
people, we could start a podcast.
380
00:55:31.650 --> 00:55:38.129
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): And I feel like one of the things that
could have set them apart is their research, right? Like, oh, we have
this meaningful data that, like.
381
00:55:38.610 --> 00:55:45.980
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): 70% of teens feel some way, and then they
could expand on their research, and that would make them something
unique. But right now, like.
382
00:55:47.230 --> 00:55:52.610
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): two to three months, or would it, like… I
mean, that number doesn't even match up here and there, but…
383
00:55:52.970 --> 00:56:02.059
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conf Room): in that time frame, they could have
definitely worked on, like, making something that sets them apart, so I
don't really feel like they have that with them right now, if that makes
sense.
384
00:56:02.430 --> 00:56:05.980
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Could I… can I add another point of
clarification?
385
00:56:05.980 --> 00:56:23.240
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): How they were connected with me as the
liaison, that they had approached our communications officer with the
city to… they said, we're a new organization, we're trying to get some
exposure to get some, you know, footing with our new, organization.
386
00:56:23.240 --> 00:56:46.199
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): could you help us out? And not realizing
we have… you've seen, as the team commission, we have a huge number of
organizations that are like, how can the city support us? And we have
that ask a lot, and so that is part of your role, is to help us to kind
of define, because we can't say yes to every single organization, but,
387
00:56:46.200 --> 00:57:09.569
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So that was the initial ask, is just, hey,
we're just this new organization, could you just put something out for
us? And then I was like, hey, we have a process for that. Here you go,
here's the application. But they didn't come in understanding, you know,
until I routed them to it. They didn't really understand the application,
and I was like, it's still worth it to come and to present, because that
will give you exposure in and of itself.
388
00:57:09.570 --> 00:57:11.039
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, just, I wanted…
389
00:57:11.090 --> 00:57:16.799
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): they didn't come in thinking that they
necessarily met all the criteria. I just want to make sure that that's
clear. Okay.
390
00:57:16.930 --> 00:57:17.850
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you.
391
00:57:17.850 --> 00:57:19.309
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Jonathan, we're saying something.
392
00:57:19.315 --> 00:57:28.035
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): I wanna add that, like, like, a highlight
itself would sort of not mean anything, because currently, like.
393
00:57:28.135 --> 00:57:40.675
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): If, from a perspective of someone who,
like, caught the attention of them, right, they're gonna be like, oh,
let's check out some podcasts they made, but, like, they didn't make any
yet, so there's, like, no point in trying to…
394
00:57:42.435 --> 00:57:48.984
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conf Room): should, like, highlight the fact that
they're a spotlight… no, they're a… they're a podcast group. Yeah, that's
what I'.
395
00:57:48.985 --> 00:57:53.545
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): I was thinking, too, for sure, like, if we
do give them a highlight, we would be…
396
00:57:53.545 --> 00:58:13.475
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): what would we be really highlighting? And
the answer is not much, because they don't have podcasts out, which is,
according to them, their main goal. I also noticed some inconsistencies
between their answers to our questions and their answers on the
slideshow. Like, they said 4 to 5 months-ish on, like, all I think you
were asking.
397
00:58:13.475 --> 00:58:17.615
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, on the slideshow, it said 2 to 3
months.
398
00:58:17.655 --> 00:58:22.795
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, yeah, so… I'm not sure this is the
right time.
399
00:58:23.025 --> 00:58:24.095
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): As Commissioner.
400
00:58:24.100 --> 00:58:35.449
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): said, like, oh, the solution seemed kind
of boring and generic, like, like, monthly check-ins and, like, get off
your phone. I think… I think I've heard that a lot already. I'm like.
401
00:58:35.620 --> 00:58:38.470
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I kind of want to see something a bit
more unique.
402
00:58:38.590 --> 00:58:44.210
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): And, like, when someone from here asked
them, like, this…
403
00:58:44.320 --> 00:59:01.660
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): they asked them… I don't remember the
question exactly, but they kept… they said something about how, they
wanted to focus on Bay Area teams specifically, and from other teams,
and, they said that teen podcasts already do exist, but they wanted to
focus on Bay Area teams, but I…
404
00:59:01.700 --> 00:59:11.990
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): I don't necessarily see the difference as
to what, like, their teen podcast would do compared to an already
existing teen podcast, what they've already told us.
405
00:59:12.740 --> 00:59:13.590
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yep.
406
00:59:14.140 --> 00:59:30.989
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): Everything that's been said, I feel like,
for teens, listening to a podcast about mental health isn't, like, the
most interesting thing, and I feel like there's only a few that would
actually listen to the whole thing, and I think they just need more time
to kind of grasp, like, what they want to do.
407
00:59:32.160 --> 00:59:34.160
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conf Room): I agree with that. I just think the…
408
00:59:34.160 --> 00:59:44.729
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): need a little bit more time, maybe a
little bit more work to, like, put something out there and figure out,
like, what they want to be as an organization, then after that. I think
that's… it would definitely…
409
00:59:48.200 --> 00:59:58.650
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conf Room): This is more about the YLO itself. Do we
have, like, statistics from the city, or, like, whoever runs the city
accounts about, like, how many people, like, look at the YLO posts, or
anything like that?
410
00:59:59.220 --> 01:00:05.670
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We might, I don't know offhand, on the… I
don't know.
411
01:00:05.880 --> 01:00:07.099
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We might.
412
01:00:08.770 --> 01:00:14.549
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, it sounds like we're all pretty much
in agreement here, so I can call for a motion now.
413
01:00:17.710 --> 01:00:18.540
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Nope.
414
01:00:20.600 --> 01:00:24.220
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): a notion, or… Yeah, like, notion…
415
01:00:24.225 --> 01:00:36.755
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll help you out on this one. You can,
move to, vote to not, give a highlight spot for this particular YLO for
unmuted tabs.
416
01:00:37.085 --> 01:00:39.044
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): No, that was a lot.
417
01:00:42.305 --> 01:00:43.345
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll second.
418
01:00:46.805 --> 01:00:49.695
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And then I'll take the vote in one moment.
419
01:00:52.750 --> 01:00:53.450
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
420
01:00:54.630 --> 01:01:05.780
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): So, move is… the vote is for not giving a
highlight spot, so a yes is to not give them a highlight spot. A little
confusing. Okay, Commissioner Hsu.
421
01:01:06.830 --> 01:01:07.620
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yep.
422
01:01:09.470 --> 01:01:13.439
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Lau, absent. Vice Chair Liu?
Yes.
423
01:01:13.810 --> 01:01:18.580
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Chair Misra? Yes. Commissioner Gao?
Commissioner Paposh?
424
01:01:19.050 --> 01:01:21.049
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Desmond? Yes.
425
01:01:21.380 --> 01:01:24.309
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Commissioner Hawambi? Yes. Commissioner
Clark?
426
01:01:24.720 --> 01:01:29.799
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, motion passes. Not give a highlight
spot to abs.
427
01:01:29.940 --> 01:01:30.740
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
428
01:01:33.160 --> 01:01:33.910
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
429
01:01:34.270 --> 01:01:44.089
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, that's all for this item. Thank you
for the vote. Now we'll move on to staff and commission reports, and I'll
hand it back to Sonya. Hi, Megan.
430
01:01:44.270 --> 01:01:56.010
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have a pretty quick staff report. One
wanted to follow up on a few events that have happened recently. Teen
Resource Fair. Who was at Teen Resource Fair?
431
01:01:56.200 --> 01:02:16.200
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): most of you, so I don't really need to
give you a highlight, but, maybe just to say that we had this, this was
our third annual, and maybe to get a comment or two from each of… not
each of you, but maybe a comment or two about how you felt the day went.
432
01:02:16.780 --> 01:02:22.269
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'll hand it over to your chair. How do
you feel the day went? For me, it was…
433
01:02:22.270 --> 01:02:27.940
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): very fun. I had a lot of… it was very
enjoyable to go around, like, while I was
434
01:02:28.250 --> 01:02:46.039
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): off my shift a little bit, and, like,
walking around. All the boots made it, very engaging. I love the fact
that it was at Main Street, so you could just grab a boba, and I feel
like that's one of the reasons why it's always so, popular with the teen
community. It was, of course, pretty hot that day.
435
01:02:46.150 --> 01:02:55.970
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): But… that is not really something we can
control. Also, a booth was giving out, like, hand fans, so yeah. Nothing…
no notes for me.
436
01:02:56.320 --> 01:02:59.450
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Are there any more comments from people
who were there?
437
01:03:00.590 --> 01:03:15.519
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): I have one. We were right next to Youth
Activity Board, and I know that a lot of people, like, when they came,
they did recognize that we were two separate organizations, and they'd,
like, move on before the other got the chance to present, so maybe, like,
making it more distinctive.
438
01:03:15.525 --> 01:03:16.825
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conf Room): That, you know.
439
01:03:16.830 --> 01:03:19.999
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conf Room): Team Commission is one thing, and Youth
Activity Board is another.
440
01:03:20.590 --> 01:03:27.410
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): That's a great point. I remember we were
sharing a table, a pretty small table, with, Yap.
441
01:03:27.500 --> 01:03:43.789
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Another thing that
actually reminds me of is that I think the flyer for the Teen Commission,
might not be up to date with, like, the picture and stuff, so just for,
like, the next term, maybe that would be something to… to add in there.
442
01:03:43.790 --> 01:03:55.369
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and I'll… I'll stop on the comment,
just because we don't want to discuss too much since it's not an agenda,
but we'll agendize and, solicit feedback specifically, and I'll quickly
answer the…
443
01:03:55.370 --> 01:04:10.799
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Teen Commission recruitment is actually
done through the City Clerk's Office, so I'll pass that along to them.
Okay, so Teen Resource Fair, this last weekend we had, Earth and Arbor
Day Festival. How many were there as…
444
01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:19.130
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): speakers, how did that go? Oh, how many
were there, I guess? Because how many are there? And then both of you
were.
445
01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:22.049
Quinlan Conf Room: MCs. I'm trying to think of the right word.
446
01:04:22.650 --> 01:04:24.690
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And all… that all went well?
447
01:04:24.980 --> 01:04:28.270
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Yes, okay, good day, the event was good.
448
01:04:28.460 --> 01:04:43.390
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Great. This was the first year that… or
the second year that Parks and Recreation has run that event, and it was
moved into the Civic Center Plaza. It was one unique thing about it, and
it seemed…
449
01:04:43.390 --> 01:04:57.859
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): from feedback that that… the flow of that
kind of brought everything closer in, made it easier for setup, so it
seemed like it was a great day, but thank you for, being MCs and for
volunteering at the day.
450
01:04:58.370 --> 01:05:17.270
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, and then, also, just recently, we
had our volunteer recognition lunch at the Senior Center. That's a once-
a-year event that, they bring all their volunteers and have a very big
event to say thank you for all their volunteer efforts. And coming up
this weekend.
451
01:05:17.380 --> 01:05:19.000
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Does anybody know what it is?
452
01:05:19.240 --> 01:05:34.469
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Hackathon. Hackathon. We're a little bit
lower on numbers pre-registered than we were last year, so I would love
it if anybody here can get out and, like, talk it up in your schools,
since we'd love to see
453
01:05:34.570 --> 01:05:49.099
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): a little more participation, but it should
be a really fun night, and, Team Coordinator Robert Kaufman, as usual,
has a great night planned, and, hope to see all of you participating if
you can.
454
01:05:49.610 --> 01:05:52.549
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, I think that's it for my update.
455
01:05:53.455 --> 01:05:59.444
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Thank you for the update, Sonya. Now we
can move on to future agenda setting.
456
01:06:01.705 --> 01:06:06.374
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Here, do I ask for suggestions for future
agendas?
457
01:06:06.380 --> 01:06:09.430
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): If anybody has anything, and I'm…
458
01:06:09.820 --> 01:06:16.360
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I'm usually just working with you, or
working if I get a YLO that wants to present.
459
01:06:16.520 --> 01:06:19.090
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): And… I will…
460
01:06:19.230 --> 01:06:26.610
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): I guess I can do this without… quickly,
without the agenda. May, traditionally, we have,
461
01:06:27.370 --> 01:06:46.100
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): We have actually canceled that meeting,
because we, often run into that all of you are studying for your, AP
exams, or just finished studying, or taking the test. So, that right now
is looking fairly, like, likely. That may… may be canceled.
462
01:06:46.160 --> 01:06:47.770
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay, got it. Would that be, like.
463
01:06:47.775 --> 01:06:49.105
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Like, a vote, we'd do?
464
01:06:49.110 --> 01:06:55.520
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conf Room): It probably… it may be for lack of
business as well, so I'll work with you on that. Okay, sounds good.
465
01:06:56.210 --> 01:06:58.970
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Any ideas for future agenda civic or maybe
one?
466
01:07:00.660 --> 01:07:01.410
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Okay.
467
01:07:01.620 --> 01:07:04.489
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): Now we can move on to adjournment.
468
01:07:04.640 --> 01:07:08.630
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conf Room): At… I adjourn this meeting at 7.07 PM.
