Strateqic Plan Obiective
The Palm Desert Youth Committee assists with the Economic Development goal of
expanding quality education so that our youth are prepared for the workplace of the
future. It also assists with the Education goal of creating community awareness of, and
support for, the building blocks of student success, including academic, vocational,
and career success. Additionally, it furthers the Strategic Plan objective of continuing
to provide opportunities for valuable citizen engagement in the City's governance.
Background Analvsis
The Palm Desert Youth Committee currently has six vacancies. With members
schedules conflicting due to school testing and other extracurricular activities,
appointed members are not always able to attend meetings on the regularly scheduled
date and time. This occasionally results in lack of quorum to proceed with meetings.
As such, staff is requesting that the City Council appoint four new members to bring
the membership up to 13, which may help alleviate the lack of quorum issue.
Additionally, staff is requesting reappointment of those already serving on the
Committee for a one-year term from 1/1/20 to 12/31/20.
