2. Appoint Georgette Jeffrey, Richard Post, and Nelly Valencia to the Palm Desert Youth
Committee each for a one-year term (1/1/19-12/31/19).
Strategic 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
As a result of their graduation from high school, five (5) appointed Palm Desert Youth Committee
members have given written or verbal resignation from the Committee. Additionally, due to lack of
meeting attendance and communication with staff, one member is subject to automatic resignation
from the Committee. This leaves the Committee with six (6) vacancies. Staff is proposing that
three of these vacancies be filled by Georgette Jeffrey, Richard Post, and Nelly Valencia, as all
three have been serving as alternates.
Fiscal Analvsis
There is no fiscal impact related to this request.

Hi Umair,
Sorry I did not respond to this. I leave the office around 5:30 p.m. usually but that day I was in a
City Council meeting and was off on Friday and Monday. You are welcome to drop it off anytime
Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to the Development Services building (where we
took the Youth Committee picture a couple months ago). My office is behind the Planning and
Community Development counter. You can ask for me and if I'm not here you can drop it off and
say you are also here to pick up a white bag with your name on it from my office.
Let me know if you have any questions.
