00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.390
Quinlan Conf Room: True, you say.
2
00:00:01.930 --> 00:00:04.820
Quinlan Conf Room: Is that colorful, but it… Oh, no worries.
3
00:00:04.970 --> 00:00:20.299
Quinlan Conf Room: do have it down now, like… Yeah. You have to ask some
questions, public comment, and then… Yeah, okay. Right. At 6… oh, sorry,
come on. Oh, sorry, we're ready. Okay, cool. At 6.01 PM, I called the
meeting to order.
4
00:00:22.790 --> 00:00:38.299
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, hi everyone. I think this is our last meeting of
this, like, cycle of the year, right? Correct. Okay, I have some candy
for later, but for now, our… oh, I'll pass it on to you for real time.
Commissioner Skew?
5
00:00:39.290 --> 00:00:42.679

00:00:58.370 --> 00:01:00.620
Quinlan Conf Room: Chair Misra. Here.
12
00:01:04.550 --> 00:01:10.040
Quinlan Conf Room: And for the record, Commissioner Hsu, Commissioner
Lau, and Vice Chair Liu are absent.
13
00:01:11.110 --> 00:01:28.170
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, thank you. So, moving on to ceremonial matters
and presentations. Our item number one today, subject is Bike Fest, and
recommended action is to receive a presentation on Bike Fest from Safe
Routes to School Coordinator Birkit Werner.
14
00:01:32.090 --> 00:01:39.600
Quinlan Conf Room: Hi, I'm gonna pass it over to Phaquette, and…
Jeanette.
15
00:01:46.510 --> 00:01:47.390
Quinlan Conf Room: Boop?
16
00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:58.290
Quinlan Conf Room: Good evening, everybody. Thanks for having me here. As
you might or might not know, the Cupertino puts on a bike fest every
year, last Saturday in September.
17
00:01:58.430 --> 00:02:00.240
Quinlan Conf Room: It has grown…
18
00:02:00.650 --> 00:02:12.250
Quinlan Conf Room: 13 years ago, it was about 20 people in the back
parking lot with one but little bike rodeo, and it has grown
considerably. I don't know how many of you were there last year, but we
had
19
00:02:12.510 --> 00:02:18.399
Quinlan Conf Room: About 700 people come, and then we have about 150
volunteers who make things work.
20
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:31.230
Quinlan Conf Room: In combined total, we counted up all the bike rides
and everything. 1,385 miles got written that day in a 4-hour time span.
21
00:02:31.720 --> 00:02:43.870
Quinlan Conf Room: What's super impressive is last year, for the first
time, we had a little loop, so it's just this little loop that we let,
scoot bikes and tricycles and training wheels ride, so little, little
kids, right?
22
00:02:43.970 --> 00:02:55.469
Quinlan Conf Room: Several of them had capes on, several of them had
tiaras on. As a combination on this little, probably twice the size of
this room, they rode 72 miles in 4 hours.
23
00:02:56.460 --> 00:03:02.550
Quinlan Conf Room: So, they energize our bunnies that we need to, like,
power a battery somehow.
24
00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:22.260
Quinlan Conf Room: We had a record number of people on our scavenger hunt
ride, so this is about two and a half miles. We take them to Wilson Park,
they play a scavenger hunt game and then come back. So this is designed
for, like, kindergarten-age kids, maybe a little bit older. We had 275
kids on that ride last year, which is huge.
25
00:03:22.530 --> 00:03:42.029
Quinlan Conf Room: We do have a longer ride, which is about 10 miles.
That one only had 59 riders, so it's a little bit less. We're looking for
ideas on how to get, kind of, that one's targeted to, like, middle
school, maybe early high school age, so if anybody has ideas on how to
make that more interesting to the kids.
26
00:03:42.630 --> 00:03:57.289
Quinlan Conf Room: We also have the blender bike out, right, where you
pedal and the blender spin. We made 361 blenders of smoothies. Each
blender makes 2 to 3 smoothies, so that's a lot of smoothies. It was
pretty cool.
27
00:03:57.620 --> 00:04:01.460
Quinlan Conf Room: And lots and lots of volunteers and vendors.
28
00:04:01.860 --> 00:04:03.100
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
29
00:04:04.750 --> 00:04:20.839
Quinlan Conf Room: This year's Bike Fest is going to be Saturday,
September 26th. Again, from 9 to 1, we're going to leave the basic
schedule alone, and it starts on the plaza in front of City Hall,
Community Hall, and the library, that big plaza, and then the bike rides
go from there.
30
00:04:23.290 --> 00:04:24.650
Quinlan Conf Room: And so…
31
00:04:24.660 --> 00:04:42.729
Quinlan Conf Room: That 130 volunteers doesn't come from nowhere, so
that's why I'm here. I'm hoping very much, first of all, that the eight
of you might be free and be willing to come volunteer for something, and
that you will use your contacts and spread the volunteer sign-ups for me,
and so that we can get those spots filled.
32
00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:50.949
Quinlan Conf Room: Bike Fest doesn't happen without the volunteers.
They're key. We have a couple of people who are hired, but for the most
part, it's all volunteer.
33
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:51.920
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
34
00:04:59.930 --> 00:05:05.220
Quinlan Conf Room: So much, Ruthie. So, first, are there any questions?
35
00:05:06.670 --> 00:05:10.249
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, no questions. Are there any public comments?
36
00:05:10.370 --> 00:05:24.409
Quinlan Conf Room: We have no speakers. Thank you. Okay, I think now, is
the time for comments, and this is where we can give Greg some advice on
how to do the Tour de Cupertino advertising, and also the volunteer,
sign-up.
37
00:05:24.750 --> 00:05:27.030
Quinlan Conf Room: I guess, first of send-outs.
38
00:05:29.520 --> 00:05:44.910
Quinlan Conf Room: So, for the tour to Cupertino, said it was, like,
middle school and high school targeted. How, long is it again? So, we're
shortening it a little bit. So this year it'll be seven and a half miles.
The feedback we got last year was that 10 miles sounds scary.
39
00:05:45.170 --> 00:05:49.959
Quinlan Conf Room: So, like, shorten it just a little bit, get it under
the 10 miles. So hopefully that will help.
40
00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:51.690
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
41
00:05:52.720 --> 00:06:06.830
Quinlan Conf Room: I think for, in my experience with, like, what people
have to say about biking in school, especially if they're not, like,
really avid bikers, is that, 7 miles or, like.
42
00:06:06.880 --> 00:06:17.600
Quinlan Conf Room: they think about it from, like, a pedestrian
perspective, where it's, like, 7 miles is, like, undoable, but I guess
it's hard for people to visualize that 7 miles on a bike is, like, a lot,
like.
43
00:06:17.670 --> 00:06:19.600
Quinlan Conf Room: Easier. So…
44
00:06:20.270 --> 00:06:35.910
Quinlan Conf Room: Of course, like, the more… the, like, most
straightforward way to advertise it would be through, like, bike clubs or
whatever that each school has, but since, you know, FUHSD doesn't really
have a lot of those because of insurance rules, maybe we can just, like,
put up,
45
00:06:36.090 --> 00:06:47.800
Quinlan Conf Room: posters about Bike Fest, in… and around the bike racks
of schools, so people who are already kind of used to biking to and from
school can kind of get exposure to that.
46
00:06:49.290 --> 00:06:59.340
Quinlan Conf Room: That'd be good. Do we have coverage from all three of
the schools, or what schools are covered here, and would you be willing,
if I got a stack of posters, would you all be willing to put them up?
47
00:07:01.150 --> 00:07:01.970
Quinlan Conf Room: Awesome.
48
00:07:02.320 --> 00:07:27.300
Quinlan Conf Room: Another thing I was wanting to mention, I think, like,
the posters, near the bike racks is a really great idea, and then kind of
looking at some of a different perspective, with my personal experience
about, like, walking or biking or, like, honestly, like, anything, like,
willingly athletic is, like, sometimes it could be a little bit
hesitative, like, it could be a little bit hesitant to, like, engage in
those kind of things, but especially when I was younger in, like,
elementary school, we had something called walk
49
00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:36.720
Quinlan Conf Room: So it's like, as you complete more laps or, like,
reach certain checkpoints, you sort of unlock certain incentives or
prizes. So maybe you could…
50
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:43.560
Quinlan Conf Room: kind of… it might be a little bit restructured from
what it is currently, but maybe if you, like, reach a certain goal, like.
51
00:07:43.560 --> 00:08:00.690
Quinlan Conf Room: 1 mile, two miles, 5 miles, then you could unlock
certain incentives, like they get a free, like, bag, or a free something,
or something like that, I'm not sure. We could tailor the prizes based on
what teams are more interested in, or whatever it is, but yeah. Okay,
well, thank you.
52
00:08:03.390 --> 00:08:16.010
Quinlan Conf Room: For the volunteers, I wanted to ask if you reached out
to recreation event volunteers. I know they have a huge, like, team based
on volunteers already, so if you haven't, I would recommend reaching out
to them.
53
00:08:16.010 --> 00:08:28.490
Quinlan Conf Room: Is that through the city, or is that… Yeah, it's a
program for teens, so you'll probably get a bunch of… There's also, like,
LIT as well. I'm not sure if that… LITs are summer only.
54
00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:38.960
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay. Also, Key Club, I know, like, some schools have
Key Club that request, like, volunteer opportunities.
55
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:49.899
Quinlan Conf Room: And, like, Cupertino High has Interact, so we
typically send to all three ASB clubs, and then Interact in the other…
the volunteer-heavy clubs.
56
00:08:50.310 --> 00:08:51.100
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah.
57
00:08:51.370 --> 00:09:09.780
Quinlan Conf Room: kind of going off of the clubs thing, I know there's
certain parts of, like, the volunteer jobs where it's, like, you ask for
certain skills, like photography or, like, other things like that, so you
could also reach out to, like, those clubs, like, a photography club for…
if you're… That's a good idea.
58
00:09:12.060 --> 00:09:22.229
Quinlan Conf Room: I know a lot of, like, the journaling clubs are pretty
interested in attending events, especially. Like, with previous
Cupertino, events, I think for the Teen Speaker Series, there was
59
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:35.530
Quinlan Conf Room: like, some… or something like that. It was… a lot of
people from the Monta Vista Journal, Alastoke, came to, like, volunteer,
visit, engage, so, maybe reaching out to clubs, like, kind of adding on
to a little interest in. Good idea.
60
00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:46.939
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you. Is that all the comments? Okay, great.
Thank you so much for the presentation.
61
00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:51.970
Quinlan Conf Room: Exactly.
62
00:09:53.950 --> 00:09:54.700
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh.
63
00:09:54.810 --> 00:10:07.269
Quinlan Conf Room: Our item number 2, subject is Juvenile Traffic
Diversion Program, and the recommended action is to receive a
presentation on Juvenile Traffic Diversion Program from Safe Roots to
School Coordinator Birgit Werner.
64
00:10:07.940 --> 00:10:14.250
Quinlan Conf Room: Welcome back. Thank you. So the last one was a fun
one. This one is a little bit less fun.
65
00:10:14.570 --> 00:10:17.940
Quinlan Conf Room: Sorry, it's not… That's okay.
66
00:10:23.150 --> 00:10:30.509
Quinlan Conf Room: So this is partly for your information, but also
partly I'm hoping to use your networks to spread the word on this as
well.
67
00:10:42.830 --> 00:10:43.840
Quinlan Conf Room: Perfect.
68
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:50.110
Quinlan Conf Room: Bill.
69
00:10:50.500 --> 00:11:09.360
Quinlan Conf Room: And I didn't start with this before the last one,
because it seemed more appropriate here, but the Safe Rouse to School in
Cupertino, we started when a Monta Vista student was unfortunately struck
and killed on McClellan going to school. So we started, remember, 12, 13
years ago.
70
00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:12.570
Quinlan Conf Room: So something good came out of that after all.
71
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:21.629
Quinlan Conf Room: And our mission is to create a safer environment for
Cupertino students and their families to travel to and from school
actively. So that means walking, biking.
72
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:28.879
Quinlan Conf Room: We'll include carpooling, public transit, things,
anything but one kid in one car dropping off.
73
00:11:29.760 --> 00:11:30.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Awesome.
74
00:11:31.090 --> 00:11:33.910
Quinlan Conf Room: And to that event… Note.
75
00:11:34.090 --> 00:11:40.749
Quinlan Conf Room: Monday is back to school for all of you in public
schools. I don't know about the private schools, but welcome back.
76
00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:50.300
Quinlan Conf Room: As things go… get back, you know, traffic gets crazy,
right? And it's… it's a little ridiculous whether you're in a car, a
bike, or on foot.
77
00:11:50.520 --> 00:11:51.870
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
78
00:11:53.480 --> 00:12:06.189
Quinlan Conf Room: We want to encourage walking and biking and
carpooling, because that makes traffic a little bit better. We have a
whole bunch of maps up on our website, so there's a map of suggested
routes to school for each of the schools.
79
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:21.399
Quinlan Conf Room: So this is really geared for people who are new and
don't know, like, they're, like, incoming students, right? They don't
quite know. This is a good starting point. Everyone figures out their own
route to school eventually, but at least they can start with something
that's relatively safe.
80
00:12:21.770 --> 00:12:34.000
Quinlan Conf Room: We also, in the last year, just finished a big project
we had to put, safe drop-off and pick-up maps online. So every school has
their own norms, right? I'm sure you…
81
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:46.380
Quinlan Conf Room: every school you've all been to, you pull up here to
pick up, or you pick up over there, or don't drive here, right? There's
always loopholes that are school-specific. So those maps,
82
00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:52.370
Quinlan Conf Room: Notice all those things, and again, aimed at new
families.
83
00:12:52.590 --> 00:13:01.280
Quinlan Conf Room: The one that I'm showing here just happens to be Ohio,
for those of you who are there this year. The music hall is under
construction.
84
00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:08.890
Quinlan Conf Room: And therefore, they are closing the entrance that you
would normally come in. So where it says no bike pad traffic through this
gate.
85
00:13:08.890 --> 00:13:26.779
Quinlan Conf Room: That's where most of the traffic coming down from
Finch from Main Street would go in, in normal years. That will be closed
off this year due to the construction. Teachers can still drive in, but
you're not going to be allowed to walk or bike in. So you're all going to
have to come down further and go in through the next week.
86
00:13:26.890 --> 00:13:30.680
Quinlan Conf Room: So that's the kind of information that's on these
maps.
87
00:13:31.100 --> 00:13:34.289
Quinlan Conf Room: And we do try to keep them updated when things happen.
88
00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:55.769
Quinlan Conf Room: The big thing, the big hot topic in the news and
floating around is e-bikes. I gotta admit, I own one. They're super fun,
I like riding it. However, there's also these other things that are non-
street legal road bikes, or sorry, dirt bikes.
89
00:13:55.830 --> 00:14:13.269
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? They don't have… their motor is too big, they
don't have good enough brakes, they probably don't have the lights you
need, they are certainly not licensed and registered with a license
plate, right? They're not over a certain speed limit, they are not bikes
anymore, they are motorcycles.
90
00:14:13.270 --> 00:14:16.599
Quinlan Conf Room: We're starting to see more and more of these around
town.
91
00:14:16.760 --> 00:14:25.169
Quinlan Conf Room: If you ride them responsibly, they're still illegal,
but I don't think the sheriff's office is going to bother you.
92
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:39.009
Quinlan Conf Room: When you're riding them at 35 miles an hour, doing
wheelies down the middle of the street, the sheriff's office is gonna
bother you, okay? That's your… it's one thing to endanger yourself, it's
another thing to endanger everybody else around you.
93
00:14:39.390 --> 00:14:43.220
Quinlan Conf Room: So, your parents probably don't want you to endanger
yourself, either.
94
00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:52.310
Quinlan Conf Room: So we have… we're starting a campaign, that one went
out on social media a couple weeks ago,
95
00:14:52.420 --> 00:15:01.760
Quinlan Conf Room: Cupertino is starting a throttleback Cupertino
campaign that'll go out this winter, and kind of be a variety of things
that go with that.
96
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:13.020
Quinlan Conf Room: Any feedback that you all have on what might or might
not get these people would be great. My assumption is that most of you
know what is and isn't legal.
97
00:15:13.020 --> 00:15:23.910
Quinlan Conf Room: And if you choose to tell your parents that all my
friends have one, so I should have one anyway, that that's most of what's
happening, but I don't actually know. So your insight on that would be
appreciated at some point.
98
00:15:24.310 --> 00:15:25.150
Quinlan Conf Room: Slide.
99
00:15:27.020 --> 00:15:40.519
Quinlan Conf Room: I wanted to make this comment while I'm here. It's a
little bit off-topic, but it's really, really important. If you have a
regular bike helmet that you paid, like, $25 for in the bike store, that
is rated to 14 miles an hour.
100
00:15:40.650 --> 00:15:54.999
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? If you are now on an e-bike going 20, 28, 30
miles an hour, this helmet, it's better than nothing, but it's not a good
helmet. You want one of the helmets that's rated for, race speeds, up to
28 miles an hour.
101
00:15:55.260 --> 00:16:08.269
Quinlan Conf Room: So then just… if you see people, or if you know people
getting new helmets, or you're buying a new helmet, just keep that in
mind, right? Keep… the speed you're going matters, and you might want to
upgrade your helmet along with your bike.
102
00:16:11.670 --> 00:16:28.810
Quinlan Conf Room: So, for those people who are doing wheelies down the
street, the sheriff's office, in general, doesn't like to give tickets to
teenagers. They get a lot of blowback from parents, right? A lot of
parents get really, really mad. Why did my son or daughter get a ticket,
right? It's…
103
00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:35.890
Quinlan Conf Room: It's not great. But on the other hand, these kids are
endangering themselves and everyone around them. So what do we do?
104
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:46.430
Quinlan Conf Room: So what they've done is brought back a program. This
program existed pre-COVID, and it kind of died out, so they're bringing
it back in conjunction with Stanford Children's Health.
105
00:16:46.750 --> 00:16:54.600
Quinlan Conf Room: And it's the Juvenile Traffic Diversion Program. So,
the Sheriff's Office can give anybody in Cupertino a ticket.
106
00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:58.840
Quinlan Conf Room: No matter what your age is, it doesn't matter if you
have a driver's license or not.
107
00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:01.169
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? Doesn't matter how old you are.
108
00:17:01.390 --> 00:17:11.329
Quinlan Conf Room: If they catch you doing something blatantly dangerous,
they can hand you a ticket. Along with the citation, you get a little
109
00:17:11.619 --> 00:17:13.589
Quinlan Conf Room: Coupon or a little flyer.
110
00:17:13.819 --> 00:17:16.200
Quinlan Conf Room: In order, which will…
111
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:32.889
Quinlan Conf Room: send you to the traffic diversion program, and then
you'll also… your parents will get a note in the mail in a couple days
later, and so what you can do is you go to this class, it's a two-hour
long class with the sheriff's office, you have to bring an adult with
you.
112
00:17:32.890 --> 00:17:41.100
Quinlan Conf Room: And the two of you sit through this two-hour long
class on safety and traffic information, and then that ticket goes away.
113
00:17:41.530 --> 00:17:43.140
Quinlan Conf Room: It's like it never happened.
114
00:17:44.080 --> 00:18:01.059
Quinlan Conf Room: So, we're rolling that out. They started kind of
slowly in May and June. The first class is being offered at the end of
this month, and expect them to really be out looking for people as school
starts. So, kind of looking for your feedback.
115
00:18:01.110 --> 00:18:06.769
Quinlan Conf Room: and your help messaging this, so it's not a surprise
to people, right? I mean, I know this is new.
116
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:21.610
Quinlan Conf Room: As of right now, that is active in Cupertino,
Saratoga, and Los Altos Hills. Sunnyvale and Palo Alto are bringing it
online as well, and if it's successful, I expect a lot of the other
cities to follow suit.
117
00:18:22.290 --> 00:18:24.870
Quinlan Conf Room: So… Peace.
118
00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:28.379
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you. Are there any questions?
119
00:18:29.830 --> 00:18:40.969
Quinlan Conf Room: So I was wondering, because a lot of the times, even
if they get sent to the diversion program, they still might go ahead and
repeat the exact same thing.
120
00:18:41.110 --> 00:18:45.169
Quinlan Conf Room: Is there, like, a plan in place for, like, repeated
offenders in this case?
121
00:18:45.460 --> 00:18:56.839
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, so, just like a regular traffic school and
traffic ticket for adults, you can only go once every so often. I believe
they settled on once in a school year.
122
00:18:57.300 --> 00:19:09.529
Quinlan Conf Room: If you end up with a ticket more than that, or if you
end up being a repeat offender, I think it's 3 times, you can no longer
erase that ticket with Traffic School, and it will be a ticket on your
record.
123
00:19:10.040 --> 00:19:11.770
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, thank you so much.
124
00:19:12.820 --> 00:19:15.900
Quinlan Conf Room: Is the program online or in person? In person.
125
00:19:19.570 --> 00:19:22.440
Quinlan Conf Room: Are there any public comments?
126
00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:28.139
Quinlan Conf Room: We have no speakers here. Okay, are there any comments
from the Commission?
127
00:19:32.860 --> 00:19:49.099
Quinlan Conf Room: Just out of curiosity, when you talked about, like,
earlier on with the suggested routes for school, I just wanted to
understand how that sort of works, because I know it's, like, is it,
like, split based on general vicinity or, like, neighborhoods, and then
how to get to, like, a specific school, or… Right.
128
00:19:49.840 --> 00:19:57.720
Quinlan Conf Room: It's school-specific, and what we do is we take a map
of the school and their enrollment boundaries, and then you kind of guess
129
00:19:58.390 --> 00:20:14.440
Quinlan Conf Room: because of privacy concerns, I can't get a list of
where everybody lives, right? But I can… like, if there's a big apartment
building there, I can pretty much know that there's a big group of kids
probably coming from there, and they're not coming from the retail
section of town, right? They're coming from where the apartments are.
130
00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:20.419
Quinlan Conf Room: And so, we'll start with that, and we'll map out the
safest routes to get to school.
131
00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:39.469
Quinlan Conf Room: As I said, they're not great for, like, you… like, if
you already have a route to school, you'll probably take a look at it and
go, my route's better, right? Because it doesn't… this map is generic and
doesn't say, oh, you live right here, therefore, you know, this is your
best route. It's not like a Google route finder.
132
00:20:39.620 --> 00:20:50.489
Quinlan Conf Room: But if you don't know anything, you just moved in, and
you don't know the neighborhood, or you don't know how to get to school,
it'll guide you… like, take the Regnart Creek Trail, don't take Stevens
Creek, right?
133
00:20:54.120 --> 00:21:12.189
Quinlan Conf Room: Actually, there is, like, the bike bus program that we
have for the high schools that kind of solves that issue, where it's
like, people get, guided through their particular safe route to their
school from their neighborhood, which is
134
00:21:12.330 --> 00:21:22.079
Quinlan Conf Room: I guess it's not exactly like all of them aren't
listed on the official map, but there is, like, an official event that
happens on Orientation day for the incoming freshmen.
135
00:21:22.600 --> 00:21:25.839
Quinlan Conf Room: yeah, there's just kind of no.
136
00:21:25.970 --> 00:21:34.109
Quinlan Conf Room: That's a good point. If any of you happen to be Mona
Vista students and 9th graders, your bike buses leave tomorrow morning
at, like.
137
00:21:34.360 --> 00:21:36.180
Quinlan Conf Room: 750 or something.
138
00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:38.590
Quinlan Conf Room: If you need the information, let me know, I'll find
it.
139
00:21:41.870 --> 00:21:57.769
Quinlan Conf Room: I was, wondering, does the Throttle Whack Cupertino
campaign, is that going to be, like, city level and just released on,
like, city platforms, or is there going to be, like, direct,
communication between whoever's, like.
140
00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:01.199
Quinlan Conf Room: Highlighting that campaign, and, like, the school
campuses in the city.
141
00:22:01.520 --> 00:22:09.460
Quinlan Conf Room: So right now, it's a city-level campaign, but I am
very interested in partnering and making it, bringing it to the schools.
142
00:22:09.690 --> 00:22:15.559
Quinlan Conf Room: Or bringing something else to the schools if you think
the throttleback is not an appropriate
143
00:22:15.750 --> 00:22:17.760
Quinlan Conf Room: A way to message to kids.
144
00:22:17.950 --> 00:22:22.420
Quinlan Conf Room: But I'd love to get this word out before there's, you
know, more unfortunate accidents.
145
00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:35.690
Quinlan Conf Room: I think it would be really helpful if we could, like,
if the Teen Commission incoming especially, because I think we're gonna
have some new commissioners, could have, like, information on what the
campaign entails.
146
00:22:36.340 --> 00:22:38.780
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, because is it just going to be…
147
00:22:39.290 --> 00:22:43.270
Quinlan Conf Room: Like, more enforcement of the ticket?
148
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:50.539
Quinlan Conf Room: So, it's set up to be an advertising campaign, really.
So, letting people know that this exists.
149
00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:57.080
Quinlan Conf Room: And letting people know what the… what the laws are,
and what the dangers are.
150
00:22:58.180 --> 00:22:59.040
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
151
00:22:59.350 --> 00:23:02.909
Quinlan Conf Room: I… I just have, like, one comment on the…
152
00:23:02.930 --> 00:23:14.779
Quinlan Conf Room: on the, thing you were saying about getting the word
out about this ticket thing being a possibility for the people who are
riding around, I think focusing on middle schoolers with that message.
153
00:23:14.780 --> 00:23:28.789
Quinlan Conf Room: with the fact that, oh, if you get caught riding this,
like, in the street, you will get a ticket. I think that would be more
effective, because, those foolers are, I think, obviously younger, and
they have more time to get acclimated with the message that
154
00:23:28.910 --> 00:23:31.850
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, and I think… They might be more…
155
00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:37.700
Quinlan Conf Room: More… they might be more open to listening to the
whole thing about,
156
00:23:37.970 --> 00:23:46.819
Quinlan Conf Room: not wanting to get tickets. Okay. Yeah, that's good
advice, too. We were going to start with middle schools as well, because
if you look at the bike count numbers, there are…
157
00:23:46.940 --> 00:23:47.950
Quinlan Conf Room: just…
158
00:23:48.640 --> 00:24:06.609
Quinlan Conf Room: E-bikes and e-modos have hit the high schools pretty
hard, but the middle schools, they're just starting. So if I go to the
principal, they probably… they know who all those eModo riders are, so we
can target them individually and talk to their families. Whereas at high
school, there's a few too many already, right?
159
00:24:06.730 --> 00:24:09.100
Quinlan Conf Room: It's harder to talk to everybody individually.
160
00:24:11.990 --> 00:24:13.779
Quinlan Conf Room: Are there any more comments?
161
00:24:15.760 --> 00:24:16.600
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
162
00:24:16.730 --> 00:24:20.740
Quinlan Conf Room: In that case, thank you so much for the other…
Beautiful.
163
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.460
Quinlan Conf Room: I hope to all see you on September 26th.
164
00:24:29.630 --> 00:24:39.369
Quinlan Conf Room: Now on to item number 3. Subject is youth-led
organization, Next Vision AI. Recommended action is to receive a
presentation from youth-led org…
165
00:24:40.150 --> 00:24:46.069
Quinlan Conf Room: AI, and let's welcome Mira Sharma for this
presentation.
166
00:24:50.020 --> 00:24:50.790
Quinlan Conf Room: Goodbye.
167
00:24:51.290 --> 00:25:06.579
Quinlan Conf Room: Hi everyone. My name is Mira Sharma, and I'm here
representing Next Vision AI. I… a little bit about me first. I'm from
Notre Dame in San Jose, and I co-founded this organization with Michelle
Besnov, and she's from Saratoga High.
168
00:25:06.580 --> 00:25:12.389
Quinlan Conf Room: She helped me prepare the presentation, but
unfortunately, she couldn't be here today because of a scheduling
conflict.
169
00:25:12.620 --> 00:25:17.390
Quinlan Conf Room: So today, I'll kind of go over who we are, why we
started the organization.
170
00:25:17.540 --> 00:25:23.179
Quinlan Conf Room: Why we started it, and a sample workshop, and how the
workshop can support our presence and coach.
171
00:25:24.750 --> 00:25:38.709
Quinlan Conf Room: So, we started in Spring 2026, and it's a youth-led
and community-centered initiative, and our mission is to really help
students, adults, and community members use AI with judgment, creativity,
and care.
172
00:25:38.710 --> 00:25:49.859
Quinlan Conf Room: So, we believe that AI education is more about,
prompt… more than just prompts. It's about privacy, ethics, balance,
useful projects, and applicable skills.
173
00:25:50.080 --> 00:25:55.729
Quinlan Conf Room: So currently, we are in the pilot stage, and our first
offerings are still in development.
174
00:26:01.120 --> 00:26:09.770
Quinlan Conf Room: So AI is already becoming part of school and everyday
life, as you probably know, and we feel that guidance around AI is still
uneven.
175
00:26:09.800 --> 00:26:25.890
Quinlan Conf Room: Many people who use AI lack clear support on what it
can do and what it can't do. And so, our goal is to make AI literacy
free, beginner-friendly, practical, and we'll do this by building
partnerships with schools, libraries, youth groups, and senior centers.
176
00:26:25.890 --> 00:26:34.859
Quinlan Conf Room: And through our workshops, we really want to emphasize
digital literacy and encourage critical thinking and practical AI habits.
177
00:26:37.790 --> 00:26:56.379
Quinlan Conf Room: So our first workshop is designed to be, short, clear,
and interactive. So, participants will compare vague and specific
prompts, fact-check AI responses, refine those responses, brainstorm ways
to use AI for projects, and explore ways to use it in daily life.
178
00:26:56.530 --> 00:27:15.390
Quinlan Conf Room: And we're gonna kind of promote responsible use by,
delving into spotting bias, protecting privacy, limiting unnecessary use,
and handling schoolwork ethically. And we want our main takeaways to
include simple activities participants can use, and practical habits that
last beyond the workshop.
179
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:30.730
Quinlan Conf Room: We believe that NextVivision AI is different because
it is led by students. We understand how AI appears in schools, projects,
homework pressure, future careers, and daily life.
180
00:27:30.850 --> 00:27:44.700
Quinlan Conf Room: And our tone is intentionally balanced. We acknowledge
AI is not magic, and not something people need to avoid completely. We
want to teach both how AI can be used and its limitations, and we want to
present this information in an approachable way.
181
00:27:48.820 --> 00:28:04.269
Quinlan Conf Room: So, although we are in an early stage, we've already
started building, our foundation. So far, we've developed our website,
created learning materials, scheduled our first workshop for early
September, started outreach to libraries, commissions, and retirement
homes.
182
00:28:04.290 --> 00:28:16.750
Quinlan Conf Room: We've also created our social media account and our
introductory posts, and through social media, we really want to show
people, what we're working towards and, to help them learn who we are.
183
00:28:20.590 --> 00:28:34.489
Quinlan Conf Room: And so I really want to be transparent about where we
are. So, we are an early-stage organization, and we have been active for
approximately 3 months. So we're still working to implement the
organization fully within the community.
184
00:28:34.490 --> 00:28:49.529
Quinlan Conf Room: And so we're working through sustainability on a
reusable structure, so we'll develop our workshop lessons and our
learning material, and then eventually we want to open future chapters
and, pass on the work to younger leaders who can continue it.
185
00:28:49.580 --> 00:29:05.849
Quinlan Conf Room: And so, this leadership would be through an
application project, and we would also select, select peers suited for
supporting our organization. And this would kind of happen more after we
reach our first goal of running strong pilot workshops, learning from
feedback, and improving from there.
186
00:29:09.220 --> 00:29:23.940
Quinlan Conf Room: So, after the first couple, literacy workshops, we
want to expand into other mission-aligned programs. So, first, creative
technology, which would include, like, beginner coding, websites, digital
design, and AI-assisted projects.
187
00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:33.709
Quinlan Conf Room: And our second path would be career context. So we, we
know that AI is already affecting communication, research, organization,
problem solving, and business.
188
00:29:33.710 --> 00:29:48.340
Quinlan Conf Room: And so we really want to help students understand
these connections through research about AI in different industries, and
eventually we want to have guest speakers come in during our workshop,
and we would find these guest speakers through, like, LinkedIn outreach.
189
00:29:49.740 --> 00:29:50.590
Quinlan Conf Room: Thanks, bud.
190
00:29:51.340 --> 00:29:52.430
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
191
00:29:52.780 --> 00:30:02.499
Quinlan Conf Room: you might have known that many AI literacy
organizations use, like, a youth-to-youth model, but, the Execution AI is
not only designed for one age group.
192
00:30:02.500 --> 00:30:20.869
Quinlan Conf Room: The lessons can be adapted for students, adults, and
seniors, and this, like, broad focus kind of comes from myself and
Michelle's own personal experiences. So, we've had to help our
grandparents use AI before, and we've applied AI to classwork sometimes,
and used AI for personal projects.
193
00:30:20.870 --> 00:30:30.439
Quinlan Conf Room: But the main lesson from this, experience… those
experiences is that there is no age limit to AI, and we want to really
promote using AI with a purpose.
194
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:41.079
Quinlan Conf Room: So we don't want people to just consume the AI outputs
that they get, we want them to be able to, like, build projects, solve
problems, apply these skills in daily life, and use AI thoughtfully.
195
00:30:42.950 --> 00:31:01.250
Quinlan Conf Room: So this is kind of like a roadmap. So, in spring, we
started, this organization, and then throughout the summer, we created,
like, our first workshop and drafted some activities, and then right now,
we're working on, scheduling, places to promote our workshops and, host
these workshops.
196
00:31:01.250 --> 00:31:16.739
Quinlan Conf Room: And then in fall now and beyond, we want to develop
stronger workshops, create additional modules, and begin, like, a broader
community rollout. And, our future development will really be based off
of the feedback that we get from earlier participants.
197
00:31:18.830 --> 00:31:31.670
Quinlan Conf Room: And we tried to align with, like, the Teen
Commission's, like, evaluation in four different, areas. So, first, our
community impact. We want… we're focusing on practical AI literacy,
198
00:31:31.670 --> 00:31:46.419
Quinlan Conf Room: Teaching the community how to protect their privacy
and use it ethically, expand their creativity, and prevent overuse. And
second, our presence and engagement. We're working with an interactive
workshop format and, direct audience engagement.
199
00:31:46.420 --> 00:32:00.599
Quinlan Conf Room: And then, we're original because we're a youth-led
bridge between AI basics and responsible creativity, and we're working on
longevity because we're beginning with one workshop model, and we're
using it to build reusable materials and eventually support future
growth.
200
00:32:03.130 --> 00:32:18.419
Quinlan Conf Room: So why highlight Excision AI? It would show local
students taking initiative and students addressing an issue that already
affects the community. AI tools are becoming part of learning and work,
and our goal is for Cupertino students and residents
201
00:32:18.420 --> 00:32:33.560
Quinlan Conf Room: to find tactical ways to understand AI and responsible
ways to use it. And the commission support could help us connect with
schools, libraries, youth groups, and community partners, and those
connections would help make the program more grounded in, like, actual
community needs.
202
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.890
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you, and, just, like, any questions.
203
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:43.560
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you so much. Are there any questions?
204
00:32:44.950 --> 00:33:09.910
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, go ahead. Are there any libraries, schools, or
whatever organizations that you've already, concretely planned workshops
with? Yeah, so, we have a workshop scheduled for September 2nd at the
Baskin Branch Library, and then for schools, we're still working on,
reaching out to them, because the school year just started, so, we're
planning on, reaching out to them, and then we've also reached out to, a
number of
205
00:33:09.910 --> 00:33:17.840
Quinlan Conf Room: retirement homes, and that we're still within the
reply. And second question, do you have any verification mechanism at the
end of the workshop, or…
206
00:33:18.050 --> 00:33:40.529
Quinlan Conf Room: Anything after the workshop to just verify that the
workshops have been effective? Yeah, so, we'll, provide, like, a survey
that participants can fill out, hopefully, like, a week or so after the
workshop to see if they've implemented it in any ways, and so, yeah,
like, hope… hoping to, like, like, like their emails, and then, maybe
follow up a few weeks later about how
207
00:33:40.530 --> 00:33:44.419
Quinlan Conf Room: they've… Thoughts about the workshop, and etc.
208
00:33:45.470 --> 00:33:53.979
Quinlan Conf Room: What's going on? Just really quick, where's the
library that you mentioned you have? It's Baskin Branch, I think it's in
San Jose. Okay, yeah.
209
00:33:53.980 --> 00:34:16.010
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, so I noticed that, like, your target demographic
is, honestly, like, anyone, like, kids, teenagers, adults, seniors. So, I
was just wondering, how are we, like, diversifying, like, approaching the
marketing of certain events? Yeah, so, for students, we really want to
focus on, like, you know, like, vibe coding, like, stuff that they can
actually, like, create with AI, because I think
210
00:34:16.150 --> 00:34:22.510
Quinlan Conf Room: It's kind of… we want it… for the youth, we want to
focus on, like, creativity, and then for, like, seniors, like.
211
00:34:22.830 --> 00:34:28.310
Quinlan Conf Room: like, maybe something as simple as, like, getting a…
using AI to, like, get a good way into…
212
00:34:28.690 --> 00:34:34.699
Quinlan Conf Room: for, like, guard… like, something more lifestyle-
focused for, like, older age groups, because I think
213
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:50.459
Quinlan Conf Room: they're kind of moving past… it's… they want to use AI
for maybe something more functional. So, yeah, so I think for youth, we
would focus more on, like, creating stuff on their own, and then for,
more, like, seniors, we would focus on, like.
214
00:34:51.090 --> 00:35:07.549
Quinlan Conf Room: lifestyle, in a way. So, like, where does, like… I
know, like, in the beginning, like, the main pitch was, like, talking
more about responsible use, cybersecurity, like… Yeah. So, like, where
does that come in? So, I think at the… right now, like, from where we are
at the beginning, we want to really focus on, like.
215
00:35:07.550 --> 00:35:12.669
Quinlan Conf Room: how to use it safely, and I think at the beginning of
all our workshops, when we would do a section on, like.
216
00:35:12.990 --> 00:35:36.459
Quinlan Conf Room: like, hey, like, let's not overuse it, let's not use
it for cheating, stuff like that, for… especially for our students. So I
think it would… right now, that's our main focus, and then as we continue
to expand, that would be something, like, more… like I said, like, like,
our career workshops, that's something we're planning for the future, but
how, like, right now, our main focus is literacy, and then as we continue
on, we would start implementing more.
217
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:42.880
Quinlan Conf Room: of, expanding on, different ways AI can be used.
218
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:58.519
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, right now, you're, like, a two members, right?
Yes. After your first workshop, are you planning to start collecting more
members? Yeah, I think right now, we just want to develop, like, a
foundation, like, with two people, it's easier to control where exactly
we, like, which…
219
00:35:58.520 --> 00:36:06.890
Quinlan Conf Room: places we reach out, like, the way we want to market
it, but I think as we continue on, of course, like, we want to expand how
we market as well, and so…
220
00:36:06.890 --> 00:36:19.159
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, that's something we're definitely looking to
right now. We just want to keep it more in our control before we, start
spending our team. Yeah. Yeah, I had a question. So, since you guys
technically haven't had a workshop yet.
221
00:36:19.250 --> 00:36:25.479
Quinlan Conf Room: Have you guys gauged, like, either how many people
might turn out, or any expectation for that, and…
222
00:36:25.700 --> 00:36:31.880
Quinlan Conf Room: If there isn't as… quite as many people as you might
expect, how would you plan to navigate from there?
223
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:53.509
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, so, right now, we're in contact with, the
library, and so we're kind of still receiving, like, kind of more how
many people would be signing up and stuff. We're working on communicating
with the library, and so once we get more of that information in, and it
turns out to be that not many people are interested, I think it would
shift our focus, maybe,
224
00:36:53.510 --> 00:37:01.970
Quinlan Conf Room: go more heavy on marketing towards, like, older age
groups, and then if, and then also shifting the topics of our workshops,
and
225
00:37:01.970 --> 00:37:19.980
Quinlan Conf Room: Also, we're gonna start working on promoting it to
schools, so, we hope to see more engagement there, but if we don't, I
think it'll mostly be shifting our focus on what we're trying to, teach.
So, like, maybe instead of literacy, like, at the beginning, maybe we'll
start focusing more on, like, biocoding sooner than later, yeah.
226
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:34.759
Quinlan Conf Room: I may have missed this, but, like, have you already
started promoting it in, like, your school, like, Notre Dame? Yeah, we're
just, school just started, like, 2 days ago, so we're still working on,
like, reaching out to, like, I'm planning on gonna… I'm gonna reach out
to my school within, like.
227
00:37:34.790 --> 00:37:42.560
Quinlan Conf Room: the next few weeks, because I think we were just
waiting for school to start, so over the summer, we reached out to more
libraries, and then now we're gonna work on schools.
228
00:37:44.750 --> 00:37:51.389
Quinlan Conf Room: What's your, like, main, like, kind of marketing
strategy? Like, is it, like, posters, or, like…
229
00:37:51.390 --> 00:38:08.529
Quinlan Conf Room: Qr codes to your website or stuff like that? Yeah, so
right now, we just started our social media, we put up a post, so I think
we're gonna mainly continue through social media, and then also promote
through our schools with flyers and QR codes and stuff like that, yeah.
230
00:38:11.160 --> 00:38:28.329
Quinlan Conf Room: I was wondering, it sounds like… so if I remember
correctly, you are from San Jose, and your co-founder is from Saratoga?
Yeah, so I go to school in San Jose, but I also live in, like, the
Saratoga area. Right, right, right. So, I'm wondering, do you guys have
any,
231
00:38:28.330 --> 00:38:39.549
Quinlan Conf Room: way to, like, I'm just kind of curious about how
you're planning to serve the Cupertino area specifically. That is
something we have to look at as… Yeah, yeah, of course. I think…
232
00:38:40.540 --> 00:38:58.789
Quinlan Conf Room: we… right now, we're kind of focusing more broadly on
the Bay Area, but if we were to, like, get highlighted by Cupertino, we
would definitely put more work and focus into, like, specifically the
Cupertino area, and promote to schools, in this area. But, yeah, right
now, we're… we're kind of, like.
233
00:38:58.790 --> 00:39:18.280
Quinlan Conf Room: Saratoga San Jose, yeah, I understand where that
concern's coming from, but I think if we were to get, like, a highlight,
we would definitely focus a lot on, Cupertino schools especially, and,
like, senior centers in this area as well. Yeah, I think that makes sense
for your organization, so since, you know, you could always just reach
out to all the schools in this area as well. Yeah.
234
00:39:19.370 --> 00:39:41.139
Quinlan Conf Room: Also, just out of curiosity, it sounds like you have
your September workshop ready to go and planned, so could you just give
us, like, a brief walkthrough of what that one's gonna look like, so we
know? Yeah, so, we're kind of focusing, like, the 45 workshop demo that I
kind of gave you, that's the, like, the gist of our first workshop, so
promoting, like, literacy and
235
00:39:41.140 --> 00:39:50.990
Quinlan Conf Room: It's… it's kind of… it's shorter, because I think we
kind of… it's our first workshop, so we kind of want to gauge how people
would take it. We don't want to, like, bore them if it's boring. So,
236
00:39:50.990 --> 00:40:07.309
Quinlan Conf Room: yeah, we would focus on, like, like, ethics, how to
refine prompts when you're working with AI, and, like, kind of promoting
mis… not promoting misuse, not promoting, like, not misuse. So, kind of,
it's more directed towards students, in a way, because
237
00:40:07.330 --> 00:40:08.360
Quinlan Conf Room: I think…
238
00:40:09.040 --> 00:40:17.109
Quinlan Conf Room: we have it, like, we have the tool of AI, but, like,
schools just tell us, like, don't use it. And I think there's ways to…
239
00:40:17.380 --> 00:40:20.010
Quinlan Conf Room: To… to turn it into more of, like.
240
00:40:20.550 --> 00:40:35.469
Quinlan Conf Room: a, like, a guide, like, a study tool, rather than,
like, oh, like, I'm gonna use it to cheat. So it's kind of more of, like,
teaching kids how they can use it to actually, like, study, and not just
use it as something that you copy-paste into an assignment. Yeah, for
sure.
241
00:40:35.470 --> 00:40:45.070
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, it's definitely important to not treat it as,
like, a taboo topic. Yeah, exactly. So, what I remember hearing, I think
you were talking to Commissioner Kumar about this, is
242
00:40:45.070 --> 00:41:00.420
Quinlan Conf Room: you plan to start off with literacy and ethics-related
education, and then as you expand, you talk more about, like, the
creativity or, like, productivity aspect of it, and with vibecoding and
stuff. So is that, like,
243
00:41:00.520 --> 00:41:14.140
Quinlan Conf Room: a direction where you're going to sort of, like, phase
out of the ethics and literacy education part of it entirely as you maybe
grow over the months? I think we still want to emphasize, like.
244
00:41:14.740 --> 00:41:18.710
Quinlan Conf Room: like, like I said, so I think we would start with,
like.
245
00:41:19.750 --> 00:41:23.470
Quinlan Conf Room: The first part of it may be, like, oh, like, this is,
like.
246
00:41:23.470 --> 00:41:42.239
Quinlan Conf Room: like, ethics of it, what to do and what not to do, and
then, as the workshop goes on, then we just start describing how they can
actually use it in ways, like, to promote, like, creativity. And then,
eventually, we also want to, talk about how it intersects with careers.
So, like, inviting guest speakers would be one way that we show them,
kind of, how exactly
247
00:41:42.240 --> 00:41:55.989
Quinlan Conf Room: their AI can be actually, like, implemented into,
like, careers they're interested in as well. So yeah, we still do want to
focus on literacy and ethics, and we would still have workshops,
specifically for that, but then we just want to expand more into, like.
248
00:41:56.110 --> 00:41:59.090
Quinlan Conf Room: other ways you can use AI, and like, yeah.
249
00:41:59.410 --> 00:42:06.360
Quinlan Conf Room: So, as your organization grows, you're just gonna add
more things to it, but you're gonna maintain your ethics. Yes, yeah.
250
00:42:09.160 --> 00:42:16.009
Quinlan Conf Room: Just a quick question, you and your co-founder, you're
both rising seniors? Oh, sorry, sophomores, I didn't mention that. Yeah,
sophomores, yeah.
251
00:42:17.240 --> 00:42:29.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, I was gonna ask, I brought my question. So I
guess, first, from you and your co-founder, what was the personal
motivation for creating this event? Yeah, so, like I said, like, schools
just tell us, like.
252
00:42:29.740 --> 00:42:39.039
Quinlan Conf Room: don't use AI. And I think we both use, like, Michelle
is a part… she creates, like, websites and, like, kind of fixes
253
00:42:39.100 --> 00:42:46.199
Quinlan Conf Room: a website, like, for… there's a museum in Saratoga, a
small museum in Saratoga, and she actually fixed up the website,
254
00:42:46.200 --> 00:43:05.060
Quinlan Conf Room: for them through AI, and she was like, well, this,
like, you can do so much. She learned more about, like, what AI can
actually do. And, I worked with a financial, like, advisory, and created,
like, articles, for, like, AI, like, mentioning, like, when people are
chatting with AI, like, getting mentioned in those results.
255
00:43:05.100 --> 00:43:14.729
Quinlan Conf Room: And I made, like, articles like that, and I was, like,
also, like, we were both talking, we were like, wow, like, there's so
much AI can do, and, it's kind of, like.
256
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:37.010
Quinlan Conf Room: I feel like a lot of more people, like, a lot of
people our age just don't know what it can do. And as well as seniors,
like, so my mom's grandpa actually, like, he had, cancer, and he lives in
India, and he didn't know that he had cancer until after he passed away.
Like, like, after he passed away, like, people found out that he had
cancer, and so she's actually working on,
257
00:43:37.010 --> 00:43:42.990
Quinlan Conf Room: like, an AI, using AI, to, like, help diagnose.
258
00:43:42.990 --> 00:43:54.040
Quinlan Conf Room: patients in India, so she's working with doctors
there, and there's just so much you can do, and so many ways you can
utilize it, and so that's kind of our focus, like, helping people
understand what exactly they can do, while also, like.
259
00:43:54.140 --> 00:43:59.939
Quinlan Conf Room: telling them, like, to not miss it. So, I think it's
just more of, like, educating people about it, yeah.
260
00:44:01.940 --> 00:44:03.570
Quinlan Conf Room: Are there any other questions?
261
00:44:04.270 --> 00:44:06.979
Quinlan Conf Room: Official Is there any public comment?
262
00:44:07.340 --> 00:44:12.579
Quinlan Conf Room: We have no speakers. Careful. Are there any comments
from the Commission?
263
00:44:13.250 --> 00:44:14.050
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
264
00:44:14.240 --> 00:44:16.730
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, thank you so much, John. Thank you.
265
00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:32.969
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, moving on to item number 4, subject is approval
of minutes, June 10, 2026. Recommended action is review and approve the
minutes from the Teen Commission on June 10th.
266
00:44:37.570 --> 00:44:40.439
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm gonna jump in while you guys have that one.
267
00:44:40.450 --> 00:44:51.019
Quinlan Conf Room: The snacks, we can… we don't have any more presenters,
so the snacks are for you guys. Those were left over from, one of our
events, and I was like, I'll take them for the teams.
268
00:44:51.020 --> 00:45:01.449
Quinlan Conf Room: So if you guys want to have some snacks while you're
reading your minutes, and my estimate is probably 7.30 tonight for, I got
just a…
269
00:45:02.080 --> 00:45:04.800
Quinlan Conf Room: Knowing now how fast the presentation's going.
270
00:45:07.140 --> 00:45:09.099
Quinlan Conf Room: While we're doing it, can I grab some water?
271
00:45:09.230 --> 00:45:12.519
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, now would be a good time for your quick read.
272
00:45:12.630 --> 00:45:16.319
Quinlan Conf Room: grab your thing, have the water… you can grab water
right here.
273
00:45:26.700 --> 00:45:27.789
Quinlan Conf Room: Don't be asking.
274
00:45:32.780 --> 00:45:41.759
Quinlan Conf Room: an unofficial break, and read and snack, and text
parachute. So, can I go get my phone?
275
00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:44.100
Quinlan Conf Room: So, yeah.
276
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:13.769
Quinlan Conf Room: Beyond a lot of water.
277
00:46:14.470 --> 00:46:16.289
Quinlan Conf Room: click on speakers.
278
00:46:17.090 --> 00:46:18.100
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you, huh?
279
00:46:45.170 --> 00:46:46.450
Quinlan Conf Room: Sorry, sorry.
280
00:46:48.270 --> 00:46:48.960
Quinlan Conf Room: Cool.

00:47:02.870 --> 00:47:04.569
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, fantastic. Okay.
282
00:47:05.070 --> 00:47:06.630
Quinlan Conf Room: Alright, and that's a little bit.
283
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:07.770
Quinlan Conf Room: Help me.
284
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:11.799
Quinlan Conf Room: But yeah, feel free to take some candy, it's like
chocolate mint.
285
00:47:12.180 --> 00:47:14.100
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. Did you guys are into that?
286
00:47:14.700 --> 00:47:17.869
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm excited to start at some levels.
287
00:47:18.900 --> 00:47:24.880
Quinlan Conf Room: Ask if anyone wants to talk? Yeah, we still have to,
susan.
288
00:47:25.180 --> 00:47:28.379
Quinlan Conf Room: Question? Oh, okay, yeah. All right.
289
00:47:28.690 --> 00:47:37.069
Quinlan Conf Room: Whenever everyone is done with their snack, or
obtaining their snacks, everyone's eating. Thank you.
290
00:47:37.290 --> 00:47:42.230
Quinlan Conf Room: I have a quick question about the agenda. So, I wasn't
there for the June complet meeting.
291
00:47:42.230 --> 00:47:58.989
Quinlan Conf Room: So I just wanted to clarify, like, aren't the speaker
events or, like, you know, Teen Commission events for us to go, are they
finalized, or, like, is Robert gonna send out an email on something, kind
of like last time? For 2026, they're not finalized yet, so you'll still
get information on those, yeah.
292
00:48:00.190 --> 00:48:00.950
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
293
00:48:01.100 --> 00:48:02.540
Quinlan Conf Room: Any other questions?
294
00:48:03.930 --> 00:48:10.440
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, any public comment? We have no speakers. Thank
you. Any other comments on the commission?
295
00:48:11.080 --> 00:48:16.790
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, okay, I can call for a motion.
296
00:48:17.190 --> 00:48:19.140
Quinlan Conf Room: To approve these minutes.
297
00:48:19.540 --> 00:48:21.170
Quinlan Conf Room: I second the motion.
298
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.640
Quinlan Conf Room: Motion to approve the amendment.
299
00:48:25.950 --> 00:48:27.349
Quinlan Conf Room: Second motion.
300
00:48:27.710 --> 00:48:34.890
Quinlan Conf Room: All right. Passed it over to Lindsay for the vote, as
always. Commissioner Prakash?
301
00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:36.130
Quinlan Conf Room: Aye.
302
00:48:36.290 --> 00:48:37.760
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Kumar?
303
00:48:38.820 --> 00:48:39.590
Quinlan Conf Room: Bye.
304
00:48:39.830 --> 00:48:52.439
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Malambi? Aye. Commissioner Gow? Aye.
Commissioner Dashma? Aye. Vice Chair Liu? Aye. Chair Miser? Aye. The
motion carries with Commissioner Hsu and Commissioner Lauxin.
305
00:48:53.220 --> 00:48:54.810
Quinlan Conf Room: Good, thank you.
306
00:48:55.590 --> 00:49:04.919
Quinlan Conf Room: Now, are there any postponements? Okay, any oral
communications? We have no speakers. Thank you. Okay, no old business.
307
00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:22.080
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's move on to new business. Item number 5, subject,
youth-led organization highlight program for the 26-27 term. And the
recommended action is to receive an update on the upcoming changes to the
youth-led organization highlight program for the 267 term.
308
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:29.970
Quinlan Conf Room: Hello, Commissioners, that's gonna be from me. So…
309
00:49:30.100 --> 00:49:42.910
Quinlan Conf Room: during the past term, we presented kind of what the
Youth Highlight program was, and we took some feedback from all of you as
to, like, enhancing that program, and
310
00:49:43.070 --> 00:49:53.629
Quinlan Conf Room: for lack of a better way to phrase it, making it more
worth it to apply and come and present. And so, we've taken that feedback
and have a few
311
00:49:54.040 --> 00:50:03.529
Quinlan Conf Room: changes, so we'll, review the changes. These will be
in effect for the 26-27 term, which will start next meeting.
312
00:50:06.090 --> 00:50:23.659
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so adding in tiers, so that the first tier is
the basic, Instagram highlight spot on the Sonya Cupertino's Instagram
account, and the spot always, as always, will include a photo and a
description of the YLO.
313
00:50:23.660 --> 00:50:34.779
Quinlan Conf Room: And, YLO being youth-led organization, just for the
record, and a shout-out from the Teen Commission. And then,
314
00:50:35.270 --> 00:50:44.690
Quinlan Conf Room: that Tier 1 approval is always given on the night that
you evaluate. That's when you determine yes or no, for the youth
highlight.
315
00:50:44.860 --> 00:50:47.079
Quinlan Conf Room: parts of it for Tier 1.
316
00:50:48.020 --> 00:51:01.990
Quinlan Conf Room: Tier 2 will be that, we'll consider twice during your
term, which will probably be February and June for Tier 2 recognition,
which will consist of a short video shout-out.
317
00:51:01.990 --> 00:51:18.729
Quinlan Conf Room: From the Teen Commission, and, don't forget that you
asked for this, so when we get there, when we get there, I will need to
have some volunteers that will, jump in, help to make a video, probably
with our,
318
00:51:18.730 --> 00:51:22.869
Quinlan Conf Room: marketing department, and,
319
00:51:23.360 --> 00:51:38.129
Quinlan Conf Room: So, no more than one video shout-out will be given
each time in February and June. So, you know, let's say we have three
youth-led organizations that apply between September and February, and
then from… that would be…
320
00:51:38.130 --> 00:51:52.509
Quinlan Conf Room: September and January, and then in February, you're
going to decide, okay, are any of them worthy of having an additional
video shoutout? And then you would create the video to give them that
shout-out.
321
00:51:53.880 --> 00:52:06.729
Quinlan Conf Room: And then, while those will not need to come back
separately in February and June, they… you're just going to take your
presentation information and say, this one seemed like they were worthy.
322
00:52:06.730 --> 00:52:20.830
Quinlan Conf Room: They kind of stood out, something special. A great
example, we've now had, like, two presentations, from AI-based
organizations, and, let's just say
323
00:52:20.870 --> 00:52:32.539
Quinlan Conf Room: next time we get another one, but they're actually
doing the workshops, they can show that they've made a difference, they
can show us exactly what they've been presenting, and what
324
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:37.000
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, what is appealing to people. They,
325
00:52:37.040 --> 00:52:40.719
Quinlan Conf Room: Given their presentations to a thousand
326
00:52:40.720 --> 00:52:57.629
Quinlan Conf Room: kids, and they've been showing the numbers that
they're making a difference, they're serving Cupertino community, and
then you will consider them up against the two that have already
presented. So, like, that organization might stand out a little bit more
to you, and then say, okay.
327
00:52:57.630 --> 00:53:03.229
Quinlan Conf Room: Of the three that we've seen, this one stands out, and
a new video on that.
328
00:53:04.060 --> 00:53:14.479
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay? Tier 3 will be… now you're considering all the
YLOs, and if you're considered in February…
329
00:53:14.610 --> 00:53:30.649
Quinlan Conf Room: and you get a video shout-out, you're still back in
the poll for consideration, basically near the end of your term, from
September to May, because we have to have a cutoff so you can kind of
consider everybody who's come and presented so far.
330
00:53:30.650 --> 00:53:37.369
Quinlan Conf Room: And then you'll be… they'll be considered in June for
a director's recognition certificate.
331
00:53:37.370 --> 00:53:45.820
Quinlan Conf Room: They'll be given the Certificate of Recognition signed
by the Director of Parks and Recreation, as well as the Chair of the Teen
Commission.
332
00:53:45.820 --> 00:54:03.559
Quinlan Conf Room: And then along with an opportunity to schedule a photo
of the representatives from the YLO with the director and the chair. So
that would just be, like, a separate scheduled day. And then up to 4
certificates can be given by the Teen Commission. So…
333
00:54:03.890 --> 00:54:16.239
Quinlan Conf Room: Obviously, we haven't seen these numbers, like, that
would be almost everybody you're hearing from, but, you know, in the
hopes that, like, it's a little bit more recognition and something that
can be put on a fellow present.
334
00:54:16.690 --> 00:54:24.830
Quinlan Conf Room: Then we're hoping that we're gonna start to get some
more. And then… oops, sorry.
335
00:54:25.880 --> 00:54:30.680
Quinlan Conf Room: In addition, Tier 3, organizations.
336
00:54:30.680 --> 00:54:48.069
Quinlan Conf Room: that are recognized, then we will put them on the Teen
Commission YLO program webpage. So, right now, if you go to that page,
there's one accordion drop-down that says YLO program, and so on that, we
will say.
337
00:54:48.070 --> 00:54:58.380
Quinlan Conf Room: The following organizations have been recognized by
the VINC Commission for this term, and they'll be on for July and August.
So, also something that they can
338
00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:06.299
Quinlan Conf Room: Screenshot and show and, show that recognition for
others as they're applying for college and so forth.
339
00:55:07.130 --> 00:55:16.109
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, and then the final thing, which is not a
dancing, I just don't like… Sure.
340
00:55:16.710 --> 00:55:28.579
Quinlan Conf Room: that we are also using this program, specifically
Robert Kaufman and I, to kind of vet youth organizations for
collaborations, and…
341
00:55:28.870 --> 00:55:47.969
Quinlan Conf Room: You can imagine that we get a lot of requests to do
their workshops with us, and when they say, we'd love to partner and
collaborate, that usually means they would like a free room space, and
they would like access to our marketing for classes.
342
00:55:47.970 --> 00:55:56.880
Quinlan Conf Room: And, we get a lot. So, we're gonna start having them
come more often, because
343
00:55:56.920 --> 00:56:02.350
Quinlan Conf Room: For you as a body, it's great for you to kind of see
what organizations,
344
00:56:02.660 --> 00:56:14.119
Quinlan Conf Room: high schoolers specifically are putting together. And,
to know what's out there, it's great to see, like, by comparison,
especially the last two. And so…
345
00:56:14.120 --> 00:56:25.149
Quinlan Conf Room: we're looking for that Tier 1 approval before we would
even continue any conversation with them. And Robert and I just kind of
need to talk a little bit about, like.
346
00:56:25.850 --> 00:56:48.540
Quinlan Conf Room: can we work with them? It is tricky for us to work
with youth-led organizations, because for us to work with any partners,
we have to have a formal agreement, and there's usually insurance, and
that's not something youth-led organizations are usually prepared to deal
with. The libraries have a lot more flexibility than we do, so that's why
you'll see that
347
00:56:48.540 --> 00:56:55.389
Quinlan Conf Room: I actually refer a lot of them to work with libraries,
because they're a little more able to let,
348
00:56:55.570 --> 00:57:05.639
Quinlan Conf Room: all sorts of organizations just come in and use their
classrooms, and they don't get so hung up on… on, sort of, the paperwork,
that we have to. But…
349
00:57:06.060 --> 00:57:09.550
Quinlan Conf Room: It's just a base level that we won't even really…
350
00:57:09.890 --> 00:57:26.109
Quinlan Conf Room: continue talking to anybody until they've come and
they've presented. It's sort of the least that they can do, and then we
can all know about what programs are being considered, and if we should
even consider them to work with the collaboration.
351
00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:41.519
Quinlan Conf Room: So those are some of the changes. It's not drastic
changes, but it's a little upping the ante of what, they get as far as
recognition, and again, that would start in September. So this is kind of
a report back to you.
352
00:57:43.450 --> 00:57:45.700
Quinlan Conf Room: Oop, that's everything.
353
00:57:47.880 --> 00:58:02.690
Quinlan Conf Room: So, things that are not changing is just they still
need to apply, they still need to present, and they still need to be
voted on, just in the same system that we have going, and
354
00:58:03.610 --> 00:58:10.140
Quinlan Conf Room: that if they're approved for a highlight spot, they'll
continue to receive an Instagram shout-out on social media.
355
00:58:12.070 --> 00:58:18.439
Quinlan Conf Room: That's it. Thank you, Sonya, for the presentation. Are
there any questions?
356
00:58:20.390 --> 00:58:39.669
Quinlan Conf Room: So, first of all, like, for a Tier 2, like, the video,
is it more of just, like, a recording of, like, one of us shouting out
the organization? Yeah, we'll work with… with a group, like, whoever's
available. We'll probably handle that similar to…
357
00:58:39.670 --> 00:58:53.170
Quinlan Conf Room: moderators or judges, like, will sort of rotate it
around, but it'll be like, okay, looks like we have a video to do, who's
interested in doing that? And then we'll set up a time and,
358
00:58:53.170 --> 00:59:01.399
Quinlan Conf Room: probably Robert, Kaufman will work with, like,
scripting with our marketing person, and,
359
00:59:01.590 --> 00:59:12.130
Quinlan Conf Room: So, we're kind of getting there a little slowly, but
we are getting there, because on the other flip side, just in general,
we've heard from you about
360
00:59:12.130 --> 00:59:25.820
Quinlan Conf Room: being more on social media, being more on Instagram
and Facebook, and doing more video-based posts. So, working towards that,
and probably will be even better by the time we get there.
361
00:59:27.260 --> 00:59:40.199
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm a little bit confused about, like, the timeline.
So, you know how it was originally, it's like, you apply, like, let's say
you present in May, then you get, like, sort of your results in June, or,
like, you get the shout-out in June, so…
362
00:59:40.200 --> 01:00:03.390
Quinlan Conf Room: are the results as immediate for, like, Tier 2 and
Tier 3, or is it, like, you sort of need to… like, for Tier 3, you need
to wait until all the way May 2027 to get results, or… So, Tier 2 and
Tier 3 will be considered February, if you… okay, so February would be
the first one that's Tier 2 will be considered, and if you approve
somebody for that, you can only approve
363
01:00:03.600 --> 01:00:18.240
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, one for, February. So then we'll start
working with, like, the organization to… or with you guys, actually, to
make that highlight. And usually, I get the highlight up, usually, like,
about a month
364
01:00:18.490 --> 01:00:31.809
Quinlan Conf Room: after, because it takes a little bit of back and
forth, like, they have to send their picture in, and we have to
coordinate it with the marketing person, and he has to find a time that
it doesn't conflict with another marketing piece. So,
365
01:00:31.810 --> 01:00:44.809
Quinlan Conf Room: So we'd work on it, so, like, if they were approved in
February, they'd probably happen more in March and maybe even April. But
then the June one would be pretty immediate, like, you would vote on it
in June.
366
01:00:44.810 --> 01:01:08.830
Quinlan Conf Room: And then I would be making the pictures happen, the
certificates happen, but they won't be presented in a meeting, because
that would just be too much of a delay, because we don't usually meet in
July, and then August we're already kind of done. So, that's why it's
just the director and the chair that I offered for the picture, because
it gets to be a lot to coordinate that.
367
01:01:09.190 --> 01:01:10.339
Quinlan Conf Room: So it's like…
368
01:01:10.790 --> 01:01:30.999
Quinlan Conf Room: But this is only… like, so these changes aren't
immediate, they start around, like, February, where, like, Tier 2
applications. The first time you would be considering Tier 2 would be
February of 2027. I see, and then how about Tier 3? And then Tier 3, the
first time you'll be considering Tier 3 will be June of 2027. Yeah.
369
01:01:32.430 --> 01:01:40.150
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm wondering, where would, like, all the information
about how the new process works be with dispute the Teen Commission
website?
370
01:01:40.150 --> 01:01:55.570
Quinlan Conf Room: We'll put it on the Teen Commission website, and then
we'll put it on the, drop-down for YLO highlight information. Okay. Yeah.
And also, I was wondering, so, like, the Tier 2 recognition is, like, the
top two YLOs, basically?
371
01:01:55.570 --> 01:01:56.879
Quinlan Conf Room: And then the T…
372
01:01:56.880 --> 01:02:13.100
Quinlan Conf Room: is, like, the best YLO that we saw that cycle. Is that
kind of the structure that we're going for? Yes. Okay, so in that case,
is it necessary that the Director's Recognition Certificate YLO is one of
the two that was, like, given the Tier 2 recognition?
373
01:02:13.160 --> 01:02:32.239
Quinlan Conf Room: No, not necessarily, but it probably will be just, you
know, unless you get an abundance of applications, but it probably will
be that. Okay, so all the VLOs are in the run for Tier 3, not just… All
of them are in the running, yeah.
374
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:38.749
Quinlan Conf Room: Any other questions? So, are all the, like, YLOs…
375
01:02:38.750 --> 01:02:57.870
Quinlan Conf Room: Do they have to also, like, say that they want to
apply for, like, a Tier 2, or is it just automatic? Yeah, it's gonna be
automatic. Okay. We'll take them as a group of everybody who's presented,
and we'll just consider them in February. And then one more thing is, you
said that,
376
01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:03.700
Quinlan Conf Room: We're also, like, looking for changes throughout the
year so that we could consider them for Tier 2.
377
01:03:03.810 --> 01:03:16.730
Quinlan Conf Room: And so, like, how will we receive an update of that
organization? To clarify, we're not looking for changes, we're just
looking for, this group presented
378
01:03:16.860 --> 01:03:32.869
Quinlan Conf Room: four groups presented, and in February, you know,
between September and January, four groups presented, and we're just
gonna look for, did one of those groups stand out? And so it's kind of,
out of four, which one did the best in your
379
01:03:32.920 --> 01:03:44.610
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, unless they're just all terrible, you would
have the option of saying, we don't really need to do recognition right
now, like, we don't feel like anybody's Tier 2, but you could always just
do one.
380
01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:50.049
Quinlan Conf Room: And then you do one again if you get more. But you
won't consider those
381
01:03:50.170 --> 01:03:55.910
Quinlan Conf Room: first group for the, the June video, the Tier 2
recognition.
382
01:03:56.070 --> 01:03:59.469
Quinlan Conf Room: But, somebody could come along and present
383
01:03:59.600 --> 01:04:09.429
Quinlan Conf Room: right after… in March, let's just say… let's say an
outstanding organization comes and presents in March, you're going to
consider them for the Tier 2 video, and
384
01:04:09.630 --> 01:04:16.690
Quinlan Conf Room: They stood out across everybody else who presented in
the year. They might get Tier 2 and Tier 3 in the same meeting.
385
01:04:17.140 --> 01:04:20.140
Quinlan Conf Room: And then those things will happen pretty quickly.
386
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:24.080
Quinlan Conf Room: Any other questions?
387
01:04:24.830 --> 01:04:26.980
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, is there any public comment?
388
01:04:27.100 --> 01:04:31.260
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you. Are there any comments from the Commission?
389
01:04:32.800 --> 01:04:48.960
Quinlan Conf Room: I was just, thinking, like, this is a really minor
logistic thing, but, I think it would be helpful to keep the website
updated with, what, like, Tier 1 and Tier 2 timeline, or 2 and 3 timeline
390
01:04:48.960 --> 01:05:06.670
Quinlan Conf Room: the people would be applying for, because a lot of
times, from, like, a college perspective, people want to apply for things
that are gonna be, like, in order by the time they submit, so it would be
helpful, like, to say maybe, like, like, deadline or, like, submissions
open, or…
391
01:05:06.890 --> 01:05:17.820
Quinlan Conf Room: Tier 2 recognition by this date, or Tier 3 recognition
by this date. So, like, if you want it in 2027, apply now, by this date,
in 2026, so…
392
01:05:17.900 --> 01:05:27.859
Quinlan Conf Room: That might be very helpful. Yeah, I could put, like,
specific dates to it, because the general program I'm presenting to you,
but I could put
393
01:05:27.860 --> 01:05:45.410
Quinlan Conf Room: once we start the term, I can say, these are the dates
for this term. Yeah, yeah, like, whenever you have it, because I can
anticipate that being, like, a big source of confusion. Correct. All the
team founders that are applying. And also, I know we're kind of, like,
the structure so far is to just
394
01:05:45.410 --> 01:05:56.009
Quinlan Conf Room: In, like, the 2 and 3 rounds of consideration, to just
look at all the existing material we have, and nothing new, but since
there's, like.
395
01:05:56.010 --> 01:06:09.830
Quinlan Conf Room: a, like, whole window of time where all these
organizations could be applying. Like, maybe one organization that's
being considered applied, like, multiple months ago, and they've made a
lot of progress since then, because I feel like with Teen Organization.
396
01:06:09.890 --> 01:06:29.339
Quinlan Conf Room: throughout the school year, a lot of times, loads of
progress happens, like, between those months. So, whatever the, like,
next commission looks like, it might be helpful to just, like, throw the
idea out there of, like, for Tier 2 and 3 considerations to maybe accept
a really short
397
01:06:29.580 --> 01:06:33.749
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, progress update, or letter of continued
interest, or whatever.
398
01:06:35.720 --> 01:06:37.620
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay,
399
01:06:38.310 --> 01:06:50.670
Quinlan Conf Room: I think that they probably would need to reapply and
get a date, and I say that because I don't want it to be that they come
and they present
400
01:06:51.050 --> 01:07:00.380
Quinlan Conf Room: And that's not, like, their best foot forward. Like, I
want people to come ready to get a highlight spot, like, and
401
01:07:00.760 --> 01:07:16.849
Quinlan Conf Room: That also goes for the vetting process, like, and I
hope that that sort of cuts down on the, we're going to be doing
something really good, rather than we've done something really good, and,
like, we want to share and get this out. So,
402
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:31.870
Quinlan Conf Room: I think I probably would hold back on, like, just
accepting, and it also gets pretty complicated. It's already pretty
complicated just to implement tiers, if you can see. Like, the year goes
by quickly. You guys are school year, it goes by very quickly, so we'll
just…
403
01:07:31.870 --> 01:07:43.430
Quinlan Conf Room: have to give this a try and see. But if somebody was
like, I… we did some really great things, I would be open to them
reapplying and coming back and presenting.
404
01:07:43.450 --> 01:08:00.699
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah, just, like, throwing it
out there, because, to kind of go off of the same thing that you were
saying, not just, like, we're gonna do this, but, like, we have already
done this, and, like, we have a lot to show, yeah, maybe in the future,
the Commission wants to consider,
405
01:08:00.700 --> 01:08:10.410
Quinlan Conf Room: Just, like, looking at what they have been up to since
they applied. But definitely not as, like, a reapplication or, like, a
re-entry, but just, like, to see where they're at since…
406
01:08:10.650 --> 01:08:14.829
Quinlan Conf Room: they applied, but yeah. That's all the comments from
me. Are there any other comments?
407
01:08:14.990 --> 01:08:25.699
Quinlan Conf Room: I have one about, like, the shoutout videos. I don't
know if it's gonna make it a lot harder, or it's just not possible, but
if it's, like.
408
01:08:26.050 --> 01:08:42.759
Quinlan Conf Room: I feel like it's better to also work with the YLO to
get, like, footage of the actual organization, instead of, like, just a
video of, like, a teen commissioner shouting it out. I feel like it's
more engaging for, like, a kind of insider perspective of the
organization.
409
01:08:42.939 --> 01:08:55.070
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I'll have to do a little thinking on that,
because the coordination of that, you would actually be surprised, even
the people that have received, the highlight spot.
410
01:08:55.420 --> 01:09:04.400
Quinlan Conf Room: aren't always really quick to get back to me with just
even photos, and so I have to be careful that this doesn't become, like,
a staff
411
01:09:04.609 --> 01:09:16.790
Quinlan Conf Room: time nightmare to implement it. So that's why I've
committed to you, because I'm gonna see you, and it's supposed to be your
shout-out of the organization. So we'll…
412
01:09:17.310 --> 01:09:26.929
Quinlan Conf Room: I understand that that might be more valuable, but we
might start slow and see if we could, maybe make that change, so…
413
01:09:28.630 --> 01:09:30.209
Quinlan Conf Room: Are there any other comments?
414
01:09:30.770 --> 01:09:47.099
Quinlan Conf Room: If that's all, then we can move on to item number 6.
The subject is Next Vision AI for Youth-Led Organization Highlight
Program. Recommended action is discuss and evaluate NextVision AI for
Youth-Led Organization Highlight Program.
415
01:09:53.740 --> 01:09:55.080
Quinlan Conf Room: Bit in the right place.
416
01:09:58.580 --> 01:10:18.359
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so this is just the application information, for
the highlight program, and as usual, we'll just go through the
application and some of the answers that they gave, and these are the
questions that are in the application. I think a lot of you have gotten
to know these pretty well.
417
01:10:18.810 --> 01:10:26.439
Quinlan Conf Room: Expedition AI, it was Mira that was representing. They
do have a website, and they have Instagram and email.
418
01:10:27.810 --> 01:10:35.260
Quinlan Conf Room: And, I don't think I have anything that's too new from
the presentation, so I won't go
419
01:10:35.440 --> 01:10:48.160
Quinlan Conf Room: really, really in-depth on this. But, they're really
trying to make it accessible, and kind of beginner-friendly is the word
that sort of stands out on,
420
01:10:48.480 --> 01:10:53.910
Quinlan Conf Room: what they are and what they do. But they're really
trying to make AI
421
01:10:54.150 --> 01:11:02.049
Quinlan Conf Room: not a taboo topic, that it's shedded in a positive
light, and give, AI assistance for,
422
01:11:02.270 --> 01:11:04.680
Quinlan Conf Room: Prompts and what they can create.
423
01:11:07.410 --> 01:11:11.499
Quinlan Conf Room: active, only since May 2026, so only 3 months.
424
01:11:13.110 --> 01:11:17.370
Quinlan Conf Room: And they're trying to engage, as you can see.
425
01:11:17.830 --> 01:11:25.389
Quinlan Conf Room: They haven't done too much engagement yet, and you
guys picked up on that, because you were acting… asking the right
questions about, like.
426
01:11:25.390 --> 01:11:39.429
Quinlan Conf Room: who are you reaching out to? Kind of what are you
doing to market your program? They have plans, and it looks like they're
really planning to reach out. They have, a project going, so they've
reached out to the library, but…
427
01:11:39.430 --> 01:11:44.060
Quinlan Conf Room: How they're gonna get people to sign up for that
program, we'll see, right?
428
01:11:45.450 --> 01:11:53.720
Quinlan Conf Room: What are the plans for after graduation? And, if
nothing else, I feel that the…
429
01:11:53.990 --> 01:11:57.819
Quinlan Conf Room: Teen Commission has been great at,
430
01:11:58.220 --> 01:12:10.970
Quinlan Conf Room: being kind of almost a model for people to listen as
to what is the plan for most organizations, and we've had some phenomenal
organizations that have come through, and you can see it's just to…
431
01:12:10.970 --> 01:12:20.760
Quinlan Conf Room: put in place people before they leave high school that
are going to take over, and that they're going to train while they're
still there. And so, sort of the same idea here.
432
01:12:22.990 --> 01:12:27.490
Quinlan Conf Room: What makes it unique, and I think,
433
01:12:29.260 --> 01:12:33.390
Quinlan Conf Room: I think mostly what makes it unique is that it's…
434
01:12:33.890 --> 01:12:38.169
Quinlan Conf Room: Youth to youth, is what they're trying to get at, and
435
01:12:38.540 --> 01:12:44.429
Quinlan Conf Room: So, just trying to make it more everyday use of AI and
practical.
436
01:12:48.400 --> 01:12:56.820
Quinlan Conf Room: okay, why should we highlight? And this kind of
becomes a little bit of a loop with some of our organizations. It's like.
437
01:12:56.820 --> 01:13:11.459
Quinlan Conf Room: They need us to help to get their name out in order
for them to get started, to start with their programming and start with
their workshops, but they're not quite there yet. But that's what they're
asking for, is that help to get started.
438
01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:15.740
Quinlan Conf Room: And then…
439
01:13:16.030 --> 01:13:25.529
Quinlan Conf Room: Also, they did have the, the take of, like, it's
supporting local high school students to take initiative and to
440
01:13:25.720 --> 01:13:32.270
Quinlan Conf Room: Share their knowledge and to, like, have the workshops
available to teens in the community.
441
01:13:32.950 --> 01:13:38.279
Quinlan Conf Room: So, let's see… But also that they're still trying to
finalize.
442
01:13:38.410 --> 01:13:50.819
Quinlan Conf Room: So, that's kind of where we're at. Again, this was,
definitely a vetting one, and I meant to add that to my slides, but we're
going to use that Tier 1 as the vetting
443
01:13:50.950 --> 01:14:00.080
Quinlan Conf Room: tier. So, if they are at least to what you consider
your Tier 1, approval, then that's where we will go, okay.
444
01:14:00.850 --> 01:14:20.239
Quinlan Conf Room: Can we work with them? Is there a way? We're not super
likely to start doing, like, regular workshops with, teen… youth-led
organizations, but can we come up with other kinds of things, like with
maybe some of our speaker series, or maybe incorporating them into
workshops at, CAC?
445
01:14:20.480 --> 01:14:25.809
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, so looking for where… where are the
opportunities that we can,
446
01:14:26.000 --> 01:14:32.059
Quinlan Conf Room: Work with youth-led organizations in an easy way, and
that we would make that next step.
447
01:14:32.860 --> 01:14:41.859
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so that's a lot of information for you. Alright,
thank you. Should I also go for questions? Yes, we have to go through all
the… Okay.
448
01:14:42.400 --> 01:14:45.960
Quinlan Conf Room: So, the discussion part, mostly in the comments?
449
01:14:46.890 --> 01:14:48.230
Quinlan Conf Room: segment…
450
01:14:48.920 --> 01:15:02.830
Quinlan Conf Room: We just do the same, just if there's any questions,
and then public comment, discussion, and then you'll call for a motion to
vote. Okay, any questions from the Commission on this?
451
01:15:03.200 --> 01:15:10.260
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, are there any public comments? We have no
speakers, Chair. Okay, let's… start discussing.
452
01:15:11.520 --> 01:15:14.959
Quinlan Conf Room: I think they have a lot of potential, but I don't
think they're ready for a highlight.
453
01:15:16.280 --> 01:15:22.400
Quinlan Conf Room: I think, especially putting in, in perspective a Tier
1 thing, I don't… I don't think they have…
454
01:15:22.840 --> 01:15:31.140
Quinlan Conf Room: any of the infrastructure necessary to… for even a
potential working with the city. I had an opportunity to take a look at
their websites.
455
01:15:31.380 --> 01:15:36.999
Quinlan Conf Room: In combination with their presentation, the simplest
way to describe it seems to be a whole lot of nothing.
456
01:15:37.790 --> 01:15:45.350
Quinlan Conf Room: Like, a lot of… throwing around a lot of generic
terms, it doesn't seem like much…
457
01:15:46.330 --> 01:15:50.610
Quinlan Conf Room: Doesn't seem to be any… providing any particularly…
458
01:15:50.710 --> 01:15:54.049
Quinlan Conf Room: Valuable to be a little bit harsh there.
459
01:15:54.970 --> 01:16:15.509
Quinlan Conf Room: I think one of my biggest things is that I'm, like, a
little bit confused, because, like, even at the beginning, they market it
as being, like, AI ethics, but then when reading the application, they
say it's, like, you know, 9-14 year olds about how to use AI, but then
when answering questions and talking more, like, they start talking about
elders and vibe coding, so it's like,
460
01:16:15.510 --> 01:16:17.940
Quinlan Conf Room: kind of, like, I feel like…
461
01:16:18.200 --> 01:16:31.340
Quinlan Conf Room: thinking about their, like, vision that they want to
do kind of all over the place. And I think it's kind of, like, a shame,
because, like, I really, like, when they first pitched the idea, I really
liked it, because I feel like it's something…
462
01:16:31.570 --> 01:16:37.089
Quinlan Conf Room: not as much seen before, and I think it's, like, a
really good intention, a very good mission, but…
463
01:16:37.100 --> 01:16:53.959
Quinlan Conf Room: And, like, it would… it would be nice, maybe, like, if
we could market, like, their upcoming workshop, but it's just, like,
there's so much confusion, and, like, they're trying… like, they're
saying a lot of things, and it's not much done, so it's a little bit
confusing. I mean, yeah, the other thing I want to add on, too, is, like.
464
01:16:53.960 --> 01:17:09.079
Quinlan Conf Room: they… we asked them, like, what specifically they're
gonna do in Cupertino, right? And they're like, they said that they… they
didn't really give us a clear answer as to what they're specifically
gonna do in Cupertino, because, like, they're based in, Saratoga and San
Jose.
465
01:17:09.370 --> 01:17:17.639
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think that was one of my biggest concerns,
along with everything else that was mentioned. It's like, there really
seems to be no focus on Cupertino.
466
01:17:17.750 --> 01:17:30.229
Quinlan Conf Room: And also, totally agree with the thing that
Commissioner Kumar brought up. I was really glad you asked them that
question, because I looked at their, like, their mission statement,
right? But their actual plans.
467
01:17:30.710 --> 01:17:39.520
Quinlan Conf Room: kind of seemed to be to, like, move away from that
mission statement with expansion. It's like, are you trying to teach
people to buy code? Which is also important.
468
01:17:39.630 --> 01:17:43.000
Quinlan Conf Room: Or are you trying to talk about ethics, which is also
important, like.
469
01:17:43.410 --> 01:17:45.599
Quinlan Conf Room: It's, like, not focused, it's, like.
470
01:17:45.740 --> 01:17:49.280
Quinlan Conf Room: Hard for them to pinpoint what they're planning to do.
471
01:17:49.510 --> 01:17:52.209
Quinlan Conf Room: Eddie, go ahead. I feel like.
472
01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:56.460
Quinlan Conf Room: We're probably not the right organization for them to
reach out to.
473
01:17:56.900 --> 01:18:03.920
Quinlan Conf Room: Because, I mean, first of all, I don't know how much
us shouting them out would help, because…
474
01:18:04.130 --> 01:18:09.920
Quinlan Conf Room: they're still at least 6 months away, in my opinion,
from Cupertino.
475
01:18:10.400 --> 01:18:17.209
Quinlan Conf Room: And I feel like that that's kind of a waste of a spot,
where even if they're a great organization doing great things.
476
01:18:17.460 --> 01:18:26.059
Quinlan Conf Room: Which, admittedly, I feel like… They weren't… they had
two different statements when it came to in-person statements.
477
01:18:26.880 --> 01:18:30.980
Quinlan Conf Room: But… Don't feel like the right place for them to.
478
01:18:31.210 --> 01:18:36.019
Quinlan Conf Room: Apply to, and we don't… and it doesn't make sense for
us to shut them out at this moment.
479
01:18:36.770 --> 01:18:56.039
Quinlan Conf Room: I think I was, like, about to say, like, almost the
same thing, like, I don't know what a highlight would do for them,
because a highlight's supposed to promote the organization, but I think
someone else asked the question, and they said that they weren't really
looking to have more members into their organization yet, so I don't know
what promoting the organization would do for them.
480
01:18:56.280 --> 01:19:16.279
Quinlan Conf Room: Quick check, I thought there was a 6-month minimum
requirement for this organization? On our standards, there is, and…
right, so you guys would just see that. And… and the reason we put that
in there originally was that, a lot of youth organizations
481
01:19:16.410 --> 01:19:23.809
Quinlan Conf Room: We didn't want to get inundated with people that were
at their late-stage junior year going.
482
01:19:23.830 --> 01:19:38.009
Quinlan Conf Room: I need to do something before college, and then trying
to create an organization and just say, we're going to be doing this,
like, we just did this in the last month. We wanted to see more
established that they've had a chance, but
483
01:19:38.010 --> 01:19:44.030
Quinlan Conf Room: This is a rising sophomore, so this might be an
organization that comes back
484
01:19:44.030 --> 01:19:55.589
Quinlan Conf Room: reapplies in the future, that might be farther down
the line. You got to see what their concept was, and then some of you
would potentially see what did they implement.
485
01:19:58.470 --> 01:20:08.019
Quinlan Conf Room: And for an organization like theirs, that would be,
like, the best case scenario, because they do have a really good,
486
01:20:08.990 --> 01:20:19.009
Quinlan Conf Room: I guess, vision. It definitely is a gap that needs to
be filled in, but I just feel like they're really not ready for a Tier 1
approval yet.
487
01:20:19.810 --> 01:20:26.570
Quinlan Conf Room: I feel like at the same time, like, they sort of have
time being sophomores, and, like, they do have, like, a roadmap, I think…
488
01:20:26.840 --> 01:20:37.250
Quinlan Conf Room: I, like, one thing, if, like, I don't know how it
works if you guys, like, send… or something, but one thing I'd really,
really recommend is sort of just, like, mainly, like, sticking to one
thing and running with that.
489
01:20:37.250 --> 01:20:49.289
Quinlan Conf Room: And, like, if they spend, like, a couple months and
then come back to present, then I feel like it will be a yes. So, I
agree. Yeah, just, like, I think there's, like, a lot of potential, but
it just needs, like, time and focus.
490
01:20:54.630 --> 01:20:57.860
Quinlan Conf Room: Are there any other discussion points anyone wants to
bring up?
491
01:20:58.340 --> 01:21:08.750
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, then I think we're ready for… Call for a motion
to vote. I will call for a motion to vote on making, or approving
492
01:21:10.390 --> 01:21:14.369
Quinlan Conf Room: Next, Vision AI as a youth-led organization.
493
01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:16.450
Quinlan Conf Room: I liked Canva.
494
01:21:18.710 --> 01:21:29.350
Quinlan Conf Room: I'll second that… second that motion. She's calling
for a motion, so… Oh, motion… I move to… Approve. Approve, that thing
for… for a while, I'll highlight.
495
01:21:29.610 --> 01:21:33.670
Quinlan Conf Room: Second, that's approval.
496
01:21:35.310 --> 01:21:38.569
Quinlan Conf Room: All right. Commissioner Prakash?
497
01:21:38.840 --> 01:21:46.609
Quinlan Conf Room: Wait, wait, wait, if I say I, does that mean I want to
move them, or… Yes. Oh, then, name.
498
01:21:47.050 --> 01:21:48.240
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
499
01:21:50.380 --> 01:21:52.780
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Kumar? No.
500
01:21:53.430 --> 01:21:55.670
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Halamby? No.
501
01:21:55.830 --> 01:21:57.779
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Gao? Here.
502
01:21:58.610 --> 01:22:00.629
Quinlan Conf Room: Commissioner Dashma? Oh.
503
01:22:01.730 --> 01:22:03.570
Quinlan Conf Room: Vice Chair Liu? Aye.
504
01:22:03.810 --> 01:22:09.329
Quinlan Conf Room: Chair Miser? Aye. The motion fails, with Commissioner
Steele and Commissioner Laux study.
505
01:22:10.800 --> 01:22:11.610
Quinlan Conf Room: Right?
506
01:22:12.340 --> 01:22:27.759
Quinlan Conf Room: All right. So, thank you for the thought, Lindsay.
Now, moving on to item number 7, subject outgoing commissioners.
Recommended action received feedback from outgoing commissioners to
returning commissioners.
507
01:22:28.340 --> 01:22:46.390
Quinlan Conf Room: Did I hand it over to you, or should I? You can hand
it over to me. We only have two of you, right, that are outgoing? So,
just quickly, because for time's sake, and I still have a staff report,
try to stay close to RSM30, just maybe give, like, your top two things
that any kind of…
508
01:22:48.450 --> 01:23:04.120
Quinlan Conf Room: You want to go first? Sure. I think for this year in
particular, I liked, the whole, reforming the YLO program. I thought that
was really fun. I felt like we actually got to contribute, change
something.
509
01:23:05.730 --> 01:23:08.109
Quinlan Conf Room: I should say recommendation for
510
01:23:08.630 --> 01:23:27.720
Quinlan Conf Room: this year's commissions going into next year. Yeah. I
feel like while I was here, I didn't actually make use of it enough, but,
the future agenda setting, I feel like, more future commissioners should,
I don't know, be encouraged to make use of that, just bring up their own
points instead of just possibly listening to business,
511
01:23:27.850 --> 01:23:30.570
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I feel like… yeah, I just feel like, generally.
512
01:23:30.940 --> 01:23:41.240
Quinlan Conf Room: That might make the whole experience more, engaging,
engaging, and, you know, actually help them serve the purpose of
representing the youth if, they're just more encouraged to bring up their
own items.
513
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:44.650
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think that's… I think everyone else…
everything else is pretty good.
514
01:23:45.610 --> 01:23:53.019
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you. I really enjoyed the last two years, and it
kind of flew by.
515
01:23:53.020 --> 01:24:07.369
Quinlan Conf Room: And I think in my first year, seeing as what you said,
I noticed that it was, like, you kind of show up to the meeting once a
month, and you kind of, like, go through the motions, and then you go
home, and you kind of forget about it until the next month. But I think
somewhere in the middle.
516
01:24:07.370 --> 01:24:08.980
Quinlan Conf Room: There was, like.
517
01:24:08.980 --> 01:24:28.389
Quinlan Conf Room: I guess, like, this, like, awakening that we had. It's
like, we should really be thinking about the commission and its powers
and everything else, outside the meeting room, and we can be doing a lot
more inside, too. And I am really happy that the whole YLO restructuring
came out as a result of that.
518
01:24:28.400 --> 01:24:37.979
Quinlan Conf Room: And I think we, like, started engaging a lot more as a
commission with each other during the meetings, and I've been really
grateful to see that.
519
01:24:38.190 --> 01:24:50.919
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, and I would also really love to see, like, the
future agenda setting part, be used to, like, its fullest potential,
because I feel like that has, like, a lot of capability to
520
01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:53.640
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, make sure that you guys
521
01:24:53.640 --> 01:25:11.670
Quinlan Conf Room: Which, like, all of you were selected for, like, a
really specific reason, because you have, like, a very particular, like,
thing that you can contribute to here. So, if you guys are, like, able to
use that to kind of get whatever you feel like is important to you on the
agenda, it would be very fulfilling for all of you.
522
01:25:11.690 --> 01:25:13.880
Quinlan Conf Room: But, yeah, good luck to…
523
01:25:13.940 --> 01:25:19.699
Quinlan Conf Room: all of these commissioners, and I was so grateful and
lucky to be here in the past two weeks.
524
01:25:24.820 --> 01:25:30.230
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you, Chairman, for all of your service, and
we'll miss you.
525
01:25:30.350 --> 01:25:35.409
Quinlan Conf Room: And the rest of the year coming back. We'll have 4 new
commissioners.
526
01:25:35.520 --> 01:25:48.209
Quinlan Conf Room: coming on in September, so hopefully you tune in to
the livestream. We will, I will. From college, for you, yeah. Okay,
527
01:25:50.160 --> 01:25:58.749
Quinlan Conf Room: Public comment? Any public comment on that? Okay,
thank you. Any comments from all of you on that?
528
01:25:59.320 --> 01:26:03.329
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, great. So, moving on to staff and commission
reports.
529
01:26:03.340 --> 01:26:07.339
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, I'll try to cruise through this pretty quickly.
530
01:26:07.340 --> 01:26:23.410
Quinlan Conf Room: I have a couple updates from summer programs. We had
our last summer of the summer camps on August 8th, so just this last
Friday. We figured… finished our 8-week program of, camps with
contractors and our, city-run camp.
531
01:26:23.470 --> 01:26:35.480
Quinlan Conf Room: Here in the Park just finished this last weekend,
which they showed, Cleopatra, and the last show was on August 9th, so
it's really in the summer for us, and…
532
01:26:35.540 --> 01:26:52.119
Quinlan Conf Room: I know for you guys. Our summer concert series is
still going for a couple weeks, and August 13th, they're gonna have the
Get Lucky Dam, which is, like, pop, R&D, and house rock, and then August
20th, Smoking Slice of Mojo, which is the
533
01:26:52.120 --> 01:27:00.769
Quinlan Conf Room: Seoul, R&B, Motown, and Rock. And those have been,
really fun nights out at the amphitheater here at Memorial Park.
534
01:27:00.800 --> 01:27:14.309
Quinlan Conf Room: We also have 3 more movies in the parks on Fridays.
August 14th is Bud's Life, August 21st is Freepyer Friday. August 28th is
Superman, the 2025 version.
535
01:27:14.310 --> 01:27:31.329
Quinlan Conf Room: told to say. So hopefully you guys can make it out,
it's really fun out at Creeside Park. In October, coming up, this year
we're on an election year, so we're gonna have peace and politics, and
the official date is October 15th, so if you want to put that in your
calendars early.
536
01:27:31.350 --> 01:27:53.780
Quinlan Conf Room: Then also, our Senior Center will hold Hidden
Treasures on, October 22nd. That one's a little harder for all of you to
get to, because it's during the day on a school day. Monster Mash is
going to be Saturday, October 24th, and we usually have MCs from, the
Commission that go out there and
537
01:27:54.270 --> 01:27:56.619
Quinlan Conf Room: We had… who were our two last year?
538
01:27:57.580 --> 01:28:11.460
Quinlan Conf Room: So, I think that… was that me and Brianna, I think?
Yeah, yeah. And so, we've gone to kind of doing two there, and that was a
little more fun, because we were sort of playing off of each other, so
we'll probably be asking for two MFCs for the day as well.
539
01:28:13.560 --> 01:28:28.790
Quinlan Conf Room: Outgoing commissioners, I've been told to advise you
to join REV. Keep volunteering with us, be staying involved. Not you so
much, because you won't be here, but you can come back by the summers.
For sure, to join REV.
540
01:28:28.790 --> 01:28:38.240
Quinlan Conf Room: And then, reminder that Parks and Recreation now has
its own Instagram account, separate from the City of Cupertino, and so,
541
01:28:38.240 --> 01:28:51.480
Quinlan Conf Room: slowly but surely, we're getting there, and they're
doing… posting a lot more video content. I think one of the recent ones
is they showed the… fast forward the, the setup for the movie screen on
Friday nights, so that was kind of fun.
542
01:28:51.670 --> 01:29:06.919
Quinlan Conf Room: And, reminder for me, for the next term people who are
back, you guys need to check your email. Check your email, check your
email. So I do need to hear back from you and your attendee, so that we
don't run into a time where
543
01:29:07.000 --> 01:29:14.789
Quinlan Conf Room: just too many people don't… I don't hear from them,
and we don't hold the meeting because of the forum. So, with that, that's
all I have.
544
01:29:14.950 --> 01:29:17.470
Quinlan Conf Room: Alright, thank you so much.
545
01:29:17.630 --> 01:29:19.960
Quinlan Conf Room: Is there any future agenda sitting?
546
01:29:20.140 --> 01:29:22.319
Quinlan Conf Room: That we're trying to do today, or…
547
01:29:22.680 --> 01:29:41.840
Quinlan Conf Room: So the next meeting that we were posting was just,
like, two of the main things. The next meeting is going to be a busy
agenda, schedule for you, because that's the swearing in, and that's the…
that we go through, kind of, like, this is Teen Commission, we do the
presentations about all the,
548
01:29:41.840 --> 01:29:45.930
Quinlan Conf Room: All the team organizations and how you fit in for
that.
549
01:29:45.930 --> 01:29:53.029
Quinlan Conf Room: and a couple other standing things that happened in
September, so it's, it's gonna be a busy agenda, just…
550
01:29:53.130 --> 01:29:55.860
Quinlan Conf Room: Straight off the bat, so,
551
01:29:56.200 --> 01:30:09.510
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, and we… oh, we'll also be voting on our annual
calendar for, our agenda items, and so we already kind of have a lot of
things pretty locked in, and then things like YLMs.
552
01:30:09.850 --> 01:30:14.559
Quinlan Conf Room: Hop in there and, make the news, like, a little
beepier.
553
01:30:14.700 --> 01:30:15.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Yay.
554
01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:23.389
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, do we recall that? Okay, great. Alright, now,
555
01:30:23.780 --> 01:30:28.030
Quinlan Conf Room: I think that took care of subject… or item 8, right?
Yeah.
556
01:30:29.110 --> 01:30:35.810
Quinlan Conf Room: All right, I think it's time for adjournment. At 7.31,
I adjourn this meeting.
