Hi
our
guest
speaker
for
today
is
dr
helen
cox.
Dr
helen
cox
is
the
sustainability
division
manager
for
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
a
position
she
has
held
for
the
past
four
years
since
leaving
california
state
university
northridge,
where
she
was
the
director
of
the
institute
for
sustainability
and
a
professor
for
16
years.
She
leads
a
staff
of
six
at
the
city
working
on
energy
and
climate
change
and
overseeing
waste
recycling
and
water
conservation
programs.
C
A
I
think
she
still
does
so
I'm
very
happy
that
she-
and
you
invited
me
to
speak
here
tonight
as
anthony
said,
I'm
the
sustainability
division
manager
for
the
city
and
we
have
a
staff
who
works
on
a
variety
of
sustainability,
issues
on
waste
and
recycling
and
organics
processing,
on
energy,
energy
conservation,
renewable
energy
and
on
water
conservation,
so,
basically
on
resources
and
how
we
can
minimize
their
impact
in
the
community
and
also
our
other
big
project.
Particularly
this
year
is
developing
our
climate
action
plan
and
that's
what
I'm
going
to
talk
about
tonight.
A
So
hopefully
you
can
all
see
my
screen
here
so
this
this
year
we
embarked
on
a
climate
and
environmental
plan
for
the
for
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
not
just
for
city
operations
but
for
the
whole
community,
and
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about
that
tonight.
Why?
What?
What?
What
is
that?
And
why
would
we
want
one
so
the
state
and
that?
Well,
as
you
know,
the
world
is
undergoing
climate
change
and
for
your
generation
it
may
be
one
of
the
most
important
issues
that
you
have
to
face
and
tackle.
A
Climate
change
is
brought
about
by
the
mission
of
greenhouse
gases,
in
particular
carbon
dioxide,
but
also
methane
and
nitrous
oxide,
into
the
atmosphere
that
act
as
gases
that
trap
the
earth's
heat
and
stop
it
from
escaping
so
due
to
energy
use
and
transportation
and
emissions
from
transportation,
emissions
from
solid
waste
and
other
things
from
the
human
population.
Those
gas
emissions
have
been
increasing
actually
since
civilization
began,
but
most
notably
over
the
past
hundred
years
since
the
industrial
revolution,
and
so
as
a
result,
we're
undergoing
global
warming,
but
not
just
global
warming.
A
Some
other
impacts,
including
changes
in
precipitation
distribution
and
in
snowfall
in
floods
and
droughts
in
excess
of
heat
and
another
another
thing,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
those
also.
So
the
reason
that
we
want
to
have
a
climate
action
plan
is
it's
really
a
plan.
That's
going
to
tell
us
how
we
we
need
to
set
about
reducing
those
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
A
Okay-
and
I
just
explained
the
reason
why
we
would
want
to
do
that,
so
the
state,
as
you
may
know,
california,
has
some
pretty
ambitious
goals
with
regard
to
limiting
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
In
fact,
it
has
some
of
the
most
ambitious
ones
in
in
the
country
and
it's
sort
of
on
par
with
a
lot
of
other
nations
in
the
world
with
respect
to
the
targets
that
it's
set.
A
A
So
I'm
just
going
to
go
through
a
couple
of
slides
that
show
you
what
the
state's
doing,
because
the
state
is
really
the
leader
and
then
the
cities
sort
of
follow
what
the
state
is
doing
and-
and
the
state
really
started
this
back
somewhat
ago
in
2006-
and
this
is
just
a
list
of
the
regulations
and
the
bills
that
they
have
in
place
that
are
tackling
climate
change,
and
there
are
more
than
this.
This
is
sort
of
the
main
ones
and
also
I'm
happy
to
share
the
powerpoint
with
you.
A
You
know
if
you're
interested
at
the
end
so
don't
feel
the
need
necessary
to
write
all
this
stuff
down.
If
you
are
interested
so
back
in
2006,
california
set
the
first
target
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
and
that
was
a
target
to
reach
to
go
back
to
1990
levels
by
last
year
by
2020,
and
then
of
course,
as
that
year
approached
this,
the
senate,
the
california
senate,
set
another
bill
to
extend
the
goals
of
that
and
reduce.
A
They
set
a
new
target
for
2030,
so
10
years
from
now
to
reduce
the
emissions
by
40
and
by
by
2050,
and
the
international
scientific
community
has
said
that.
Essentially,
we
need
to
get
to
at
least
80
reduction
by
2050
in
order
to
stop
catastrophic
global
warming.
So
that's
sort
of
where
those
targets
come
from.
A
A
A
What's
called
the
sb
100,
which
is
a
policy
that
says
that
electricity
providers,
so
in
other
words
for
us
that
would
be
southern
california
edison
other
people
have
pg
e
or
san,
diego
gas,
electric
etc,
but
those
electricity
providers
to
gradually
green
up
the
grid,
so,
in
other
words
the
power
that
they
put
onto
the
electricity
wires,
has
to
have
have
more
and
more
renewables
every
year
and
in
fact
it
has
to
be
sixty
percent
by
twenty
thirty,
so
those
and
gradually
getting
to
be
completely
carbon
free
by
twenty.
Forty.
A
A
There
are
some
other
laws
too.
This
thing
this
one
called
sp
379,
that's
to
do
with
planning,
particularly
regional
planning,
to
do
with
transportation
policy,
and
then
there
is.
There
are
a
number
of
others
that
really
tackle
more,
let's
say
individual
level
developer
level
things
so,
for
example,
in
new
construction,
there
are
very
strict
regulations
on
the
energy
efficiency
for
new
buildings
that
they
have
to
meet.
A
There
is
something
called
the
model:
water
efficiency
landscape,
ordinance
that
every
new
construction
in
the
city
has
to
meet
a
water
efficiency
guideline.
In
other
words,
you
can't
put
in
ornamental
landscape
anymore.
That
requires
a
lot
of
water.
You
have
to
put
in
drought,
tolerant
or
native
vegetation.
A
You
have
to
produce
a
plant,
you
can't
use
spray
irrigation
anymore.
It
has
to
be
drip,
irrigation
to
reduce
water
use,
etc.
So
and
then
recently,
the
one
at
the
bottom
there
gavin
newsom
came
out
with
a
new
policy
just
last
year.
That
said
that
by
2035,
all
new
vehicles
that
are
sold
in
california
have
to
be
zero
emission
vehicles
and
for
for
the
most
part
that
will
be
electric
vehicles,
but
it
does
allow
for
other
technologies
like
hydrogen
or
fuel
cell
vehicles,
for
example.
A
So
when
we
think
about
developing
a
plan
for
the
city,
these
are
sort
of
the
steps
that
we
have
to
go
through.
We
first
have
to
do
what's
called
a
gh
fuel
greenhouse
gas
inventory,
we
have
to
measure
the
emissions
now
now
it's
not
by
going
out
with
you
know,
sensing
devices,
but
we
have
to
calculate
them
from
the
total
energy
use
of
the
city.
So
we
get
data
from
southern
california
edison
and
from
southern
california
gas
company,
on
how
much
gas
was
used
in
the
entire
city,
by
commercial
entities
and
by
residential.
A
A
We
also
have
data
from
transportation
models
that
tell
us
how
many
miles
are
driven
in
the
city.
How
many
miles
are
driven
daily
in
and
out
of
the
city
and
from
those
we
can
compute
and
and
also
we
have
the
makeup
of
vehicles
like
what's
the
average?
You
know
how
many
passenger
vehicles,
how
many
small
trucks,
how
many
large
trucks
etc
not
on
a
sort
of
per
vehicle
basis,
but
on
a
sort
of
aggregate
basis
like
this
is
the
percent
of
these
different
kinds
of
vehicles.
A
So
we
use
that
to
calculate
the
transportation
emissions.
We
have
data
on
the
amount
of
solid
waste,
the
amount
of
organic,
so
we
use
that
to
calculate
how
much
comes
from
that,
etc.
So
we
have
all
of
these
different
components,
and
then
we
calculate
what
the
total
emissions
are
and
the
idea
is
to
set
a
plan
to
be
able
to
reduce
those
emissions.
So
the
first
thing
we
do
is
we
establish
targets
and
the
council
has
set
preliminary
targets
that
basically
align
with
what
the
state's
targets
are.
A
So
a
40
reduction
by
2030
and
an
80
reduction
by
2050.
Then
we
develop,
we
start
developing
strategies
and
actions
that
are
going
to
help
us
achieve
that
target.
That's
kind
of
where
we
are
right
now
we're
sort
of
in
this
step.
Three
we're
doing
outreach.
We've
had
a
couple
of
community
meetings.
We
have
two
or
three
more
to
come
and
you're
welcome
to
participate
in
those
I'll.
Give
you
some
information
for
ideas
like
each
one
has
a
theme.
A
The
last
month
we
talked
about
transportation
emissions,
so
ideas
for
how
we
could
reduce
those
by
sort
of
providing
more
ev
charging.
So
it
was
easier
for
people
to
have
electric
vehicles
by
having
more
walkable
communities
or
better
bike
lanes
or
bike
infrastructure,
so
people
could
use
those
alternative
means
improving
our
transit
system,
so
people
presented
different
ideas
and
we
take
note
of
all
of
those
and
then
this
month,
actually
in
three
weeks,
we'll
be
having
a
meeting
on
energy.
A
So
that's
quite
kind
of
where
we
are
now
when
we
have
all
of
those
strategies,
we'll
draft
an
action
plan
and
then
we'll
have
another
public
meeting
where
we
share
those
actions
and
get
some
feedback
and
then
we'll
make
a
recommendation
to
counsel
of
the
plan.
So
that's
that's
the
process
of
how
we
go
about
this.
A
Okay
I'll
continue,
so
we
talk
about.
You
know.
Sustainability
and
you've
probably
heard
that
word
a
lot,
but
the
climate
action
plan.
What
it
really
is
is
putting
sustainability
in
practice
and
and
what
sustainability
means
is
something
that
meets
that
can
meet
our
current
needs,
but
doesn't
hamper
the
future
generations
from
meeting
their
needs,
and
some
of
this
is
both
socially
determined.
A
There's
an
equity
component.
There's
an
economic
component
like
if
we
do
things
that
are
not
economically
viable,
then,
if
the
economic
system
isn't
sustainable,
then
the
whole
thing
is
going
to
collapse
anyway,
it's
not
environmentally
sustainable
the
same
thing.
If
we
don't
look
at
it
from
an
equity
point
of
view,
then
we're
going
to
have
further
divisions
between
different
different
people.
So
all
of
these
things
come
into
consideration.
Whatever
actions
we
take,
they
need
to
bear
all
of
these
things
in
mind.
A
So
we
could
make
policies,
but
if
those
increase
the
cost
of
housing
so
much
that
it
becomes
unaffordable,
then
we've
sort
of
defeated
our
aim
there.
So
we
have
to
make
sure
that
the
policies
that
or
the
practices
that
we
put
in
place
make
sense
financially,
as
well
as
from
an
equitable
standpoint,
so
they're
all
things
that
we
have
to
consider
in
choosing
the
actions
going
forward.
A
A
The
average
daily
high
temperatures
and
this
white
line
at
the
bottom
is
sort
of
showing
where
we
are
well,
it's
probably
a
few
years
ago,
maybe
five
five
years
ago.
So
even
if
we
make
really
really
significant
cuts,
we're
still
going
to
have
temperature
increases,
as
shown
by
this
yellow
line
here,
which
is
sort
of
three
to
five
degree.
Temperature
increases
and
if
we
go
and
if
we
just
carry
on
with
business
as
usual
and
don't
make
cuts
at
all,
then
we're
looking
more
at
sort
of
five
to
seven
degree.
A
A
There
are
people
who
don't
have
air
conditioning
here
in
town
there's
also
outdoor
workers
that
won't
be
able
to
work
outside
under
certain
conditions,
and
they
also
impact
our
water
supply,
drought
and
things
like
pests,
the
ability
of
pests
like
bugs
to
survive
and
when
bugs
survive
or
winter,
because
it
doesn't
get
cold
enough,
then
they
can
affect
our
crops
and
our
trees.
So
the
the
temperature
increase
has
an
effect
on
not
just
people
but
on
our
ecosystem
too.
A
That's
a
challenge
because
we
don't
have
the
ability
necessarily
to
store
that
it
means
that
there's
like
more
runoff.
We
can't
always
store
the
rain
that
we're
getting,
and
the
other
thing
is
of
course,
there'll
be
more
rain
and
less
snow
and
currently
the
way
that
we
use
snow
is
sort
of
as
a
water
storage
device.
Essentially,
our
water
gets
transported
on
this
thing.
Here
you
can
see
this
top
left
picture.
A
It's
called
the
state
water
project,
it's
a
huge
canal
system
that
comes
all
the
way
through
the
central
valley
and
brings
water
down
from
like
north
of
san
francis
san
francisco
north
of
sacramento
all
the
way
down
here
through
this
sort
of
canal
system.
That's
a
man-made
system.
So
we
take
that
snow
melt
from
northern
california.
We
bring
it
down
here,
so
we
don't
have
really
much
of
a
local
water
supply
at
all.
A
A
Another
impact-
oh
I
mentioned
that
there'll
be
similar
precipitation,
but
in
fewer
events,
so
we
expect
to
get
like
more
more
flooding
and
that
can
cause
mudslides,
and
this
is
a
picture
from
actually
camarillo
springs.
Just
a
few
years
ago,
where
that
happened
and,
of
course,
wild
fires,
you're
all
familiar
with
a
couple
of
years
ago,
we
had
the
woolsey
fire.
So
those
the
dry
conditions
with
less
frequent
rainfall
cause
a
lot
of
drought,
stress
and
drier
vegetation,
and
we
also
have
these
santa
ana
events
with
high
winds.
A
A
It
needs
to
go
down
quite
a
lot
more
we're
looking
for
40
by
by
2030,
but
at
least
it's
heading
in
the
right
direction,
and
you
can
see
in
this
slide
what
the
breakdown
of
those
emissions
are.
So
half
of
the
emissions
in
the
city
come
from
transportation.
Most
of
that
is
personal
vehicles,
not
like
commercial
vehicles.
A
We're
talking
about
people's
cars
and
small
trucks
are
responsible
for
most
and
that's
because
people
in
thousand
oaks
drive
more
miles
per
day
on
average
than
nearly
every
community,
even
in
the
rest
of
california,
we're
one
of
the
top
five
communities
for
the
miles
driven
per
person.
It's
about
65
miles
a
day.
Each
person
drives.
A
So
that's
something
that
we
really
need
to
look
at
how
to
tackle,
but
probably
the
most
straightforward
way
to
tackle.
It
is
to
try
to
transition
as
many
people
as
possible
to
electric
vehicles
and
then
supply
that
electricity
with
clean
power.
But
there
are
other
things
like
changes.
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
have
been
involved
in
the
general
plan
at
all,
but
we're
looking.
The
city
is
looking
at
developing
in
a
slightly
different
way
from
how
it
has
historically
in
order
to
reduce
or
increase
walkability
and
local
neighborhoods
okay.
A
So
this
is
the
makeup
you'll
see
here
about
different
emissions
of
transportation.
You
can
see
that
big
chunk
on
the
bottom
and
then
electricity
and
the
yellow,
above
that,
and
the
reason
that
the
electricity
missions
went
down
so
much
a
couple
of
years
ago
is
because
we
moved
to
something
called
clean
power
alliance,
which
is
provides
a
hundred
percent
clean
electricity
to
the
city.
A
A
As
on
a
lot
of
things,
you
can
act
at
a
personal
level,
so
you
can
reduce
your
energy
use
at
home
by
switching
lights
off
by
unplugging
devices.
By
taking
personal
actions,
even
you
know
talking
your
family
into
putting
the
solar
system
on
the
roof,
etc.
So
energy
efficiency
kinds
of
things,
those
personal
actions.
A
Another
way
you
can
act
is
by
influencing
other
people,
so
you
can
influence
friends.
You
can
influence
family,
the
more
people,
you
influence
the
bigger
impact
you're
going
to
have,
and
the
third
way-
which
I
think
is
what
you
you're
trying
to
do
through
the
youth
commission
is,
you
can
affect
policy,
so
you
can.
A
A
You
can
basically
approach
your
policy
makers
or
become
policy
makers,
because,
ultimately,
that's
the
way
that
you
can
have
the
greatest
impact.
So
I
always
recommend
all
three.
Usually
it's
good
to
do
some
things
personally
before
you
talk
to
others
about
what
they
should
do
and
then
once
you've
reached
that
level,
you
should
affect
policy.
A
A
Thank
you.
So,
yes,
questions
comments.
I
want
to
thank
catherine
she's.
Actually
we
actually
have
a
a
climate,
an
environmental
action
plan
stakeholder
group
that
we
tried
to
get
broad
representation
across
the
community
and
catherine
was
elected
to
that
to
that
group.
So
she
represents
the
youth
in
our
community,
but
everybody
is
welcome
to
those
meetings
and
the
more
of
you
that
show
up
and
speak
the
better.
A
So
most
of
the
incentives
come
through
the
electricity
generators
like
the
southern
california
edison,
for
example,
because
they
are
paid
to
put
those
programs
in
place
through
through
the
rates,
so
the
rates
that
everyone
pays
for
electricity
and
for
gas
part
of
that
rate
goes
to
state
programs,
incentive
and
rebate
programs
and
then
what's
called
the
california
energy
commission
decides
what
those
programs
are.
They
approve
those
programs,
so
there
are
ins,
there
is
incentive
funding
and,
but
it
generally
doesn't
come
from
the
city.
It
generally
comes
from
those
electricity
providers.
A
D
Yeah
yeah,
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
today.
Helen.
So
I
wanted
to
ask
a
question
regarding
the
latest,
like
power
shutdowns
in
our
community,
that
affected
a
lot
of
like
students,
because
we
are
I'm
on
remote
school
and
we
like
lost
a
lot
of
power,
so
we
weren't
able
to
zoom
in.
Do
you
know
how
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
is
working
with
those
companies
to
help
like
address
that
issue,
because
I
feel
like
that's,
not
a
very
sustainable
like
alternative
to
not
having
like
fires.
A
Yes,
I
totally
agree
that
the
city
is
pretty
unhappy
about
it.
Actually,
they
called
the
power
shut
off
the
psps
events,
they're
put
in
place
by
edison,
so
essentially,
edison
turns
off
power
to
lines
when
the
winds
get
too
high
because
well
because
they
were
assessed
a
lot
of
damages
after
the
woolsey
fire
and
also
after
the
other,
the
other
fires
and
pg
e
paid
such
huge
damages
as
a
result
of
the
fires
up
in
in
paradise,
etc
that
they
actually
when
had
to
file
chapter
11
bankruptcy.
A
A
A
So
what's
happened
is
yes,
there's
been
a
lot
of
complaints
and
a
lot
of
objections,
and
they
actually
had
a
recent
inquiry
with
the
california
energy
commission
on
this,
and
so
edison
has,
as
a
result,
they've
had
to
pull
back
on
some
of
their
plans.
They
have
to
be
able
to
justify
exact
circuits
and
reasons
they're
trying
to
isolate
smaller
circuits.
So
it's
not
such
big
portions
that
get
shut
off
at
one
time.
A
We
don't
have
any
guarantees
of
what
will
or
will
not
be
turned
off,
but
there
have
been
a
lot
of
complaints
and
it's
really
up
to
the
california
energy
commission
to
deal
with
it.
So
you
know
I,
the
city
really
can't
do
very
much.
We
don't
have
control
over
those
entities,
but
the
people
that
do
it
the
legislature.
So
that's
your
representatives,
henry
stern
julia,
no
judy
brown
is
federal
who's.
C
A
Right
well,
I
would
say
that
a
lot
of
the
programs,
a
lot
of
the
incentives,
are
income
based
and
even
more
much
more
so
than
in
the
past.
So,
for
example,
if
you
wanted
to
put
in
a
battery
the
only
way
that
you
can
run
off
the
grid
or
in
the
event
of
a
power
outage
is,
if
you
have
a
battery
a
large
battery
system,
usually
people
put
them
in
their
garages.
A
Those
are
fairly
expensive,
probably
the
tune
of
ten
thousand
dollars
or
so
to
install
those.
If
you
qualify
income
wise,
there's
an
incentive
program,
that's
run
again
like
through
through
sce,
but,
as
I
said,
most
of
these
are
that
would
install
that
essentially
for
free
for
low-income
people,
so
and
and
also
it
would
for
people
who
are
on
a
medical
baseline.
A
So
if
you
have
a
medical
condition
that
requires
that
you
have
power,
they
would
also
qualify.
So
there
are
programs
like
that.
I
don't
know
about
buying
they're
on
well,
so
the
the
state
gives
significant
rebates
on
electric
vehicles
and
some
of
those
are
income
based,
so
that
the
rebate
amount
that
you
get
depends
on
your
income.
A
So
there
are
mechanisms
in
place.
I
don't
know
if
the
incentives
are
significant
enough
to
kind
of
change.
I
mean.
Obviously
the
free
batteries
are
free,
but
you
know
some
of
the
others
there
are,
but
the
place
to
go.
For
those
I
mean
there
is
even
like
for
insulation
and
things
like
that.
There
are
free
audits
and
free
energy
upgrades
that
people
can
get
based
on
income
and
it
would
be
the
sce
it's
called.
Sce
marketplace
will
be
the
place
to
go
and
look
for
those.
D
I
had
another
question
yeah,
so
I
was
wondering:
do
we
look
on
track
as
like
a
city
and
as
like
a
state
to
meet
with
the
2030
like
bill
and
like
those
requirements,
and
also
how
are
we
going
to
like
prepare
for
the
future
of
electric
vehicles
and
like
how
will
that
look
in
our
community?
Will
there
be
like
less
gas
stations
and
will
those
be
like
replaced
by
like
more
electrical
vehicle
stations
or,
like
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering
how
the
landscape
will
change.
A
Yeah
good
many
good
questions,
so
we
we
are
on
track
for
the
2030
emission
reduction
goals.
If
we
can
do
the
transition
to
electric
vehicles
that
the
state
is
hoping
for
and
projecting.
If
we
can
meet
the
state's
targets
for
those
evs,
then
we
will
meet
those
goals
because
our
community
has
a
default
of
100
renewable
energy
electricity.
A
One
of
the
problems
is
in
existing
buildings.
They
don't
have
the
capacity
on
there
on
that.
What's
it
called
their
box,
their
panel,
essentially
their
service,
the
service
that
they
get
doesn't
have
the
amperage
to
put
in
you
know
dozens
of
charging
stations,
so
it's
expensive.
It
can
be
expensive
for
the
apartment,
complex
owner
to
be
able
to
do
that.
So
we
are
looking
at
mechanisms
like
how
can
we
that's
one
of
the
things
that
will
actually
be
in
the
climate
action
plan?
It's
like
how?
How
do
we
incentivize?
A
How
do
we
help
apartment
owners,
the
other
other
rental
units
etc?
Put
those
in
so
one
thing
we
can
do
is
for
new
construction,
so
whether
they're
going
to
put
in
new
mixed-use
development
or
multi-family-
or
you
know
higher
density.
What
we
can
do
is
require
that
they
do
a
couple
of
different
things.
One
is
pre-wire
it,
so
it
has
the
capacity
for
everybody
to
put
in
their
own
charger
if
they
wanted
to
that's
one
thing
that
would
enable
that
down
the
road.
A
The
other
thing
we
can
do
is
require
a
certain
number
of
eb
charges
to
go
in
to
go
in
the
parking
garages
in
advance,
so
we're
looking
at
both
of
those
things
and
again
that
will
be
part
of
kind
of
the
climate
action
plan.
What
what
the
people
want,
because
those
things
increase
the
cost
right
of
construction
now,
not
nearly
as
much
as
trying
to
do
it
afterwards.
A
If
you
construct
somewhere
and
then
try
to
add
the
capacity
is
much
much
harder
than
if
you
do
it
under
new
construction,
so
yeah
there
are
things
that
are
going
to
come
up
actually
in
our
next.
You
know.
Very
next
meeting
is
like
what
strategies
should
we
take
for
existing
buildings
and
what
would
be
a
good
idea
for
for
new
construction
and,
as
I
said,
new
construction
is
very,
very
much
easier.
A
Okay,
thank
you
for
joining
us
sure,
you're
welcome
and
thank
you
for
everything
that
you
do
and
yeah.
Please.
Please
join
in
both
with
the
general
plan
and
with
the
climate
action
plan,
because
it's
really
crucial
that
the
city
hears
from
the
younger
generation
about
these
things
you're.
You
know
this
is
all
going
to
impact
you
we're
not
doing
it
for
folk.
Like
me,
I'm
not
gonna
be
around
in
30
years,
but
it's
all
for
people
like
you.
So
thank
you.
Thanks
for
the
chance
to
speak
to
you.
B
You're
good,
okay,
moving
on
item
number.
Six
on
the
agenda
is
project
reports.
The
youth
commission
undertakes
a
number
of
projects
during
the
year.
I
will
introduce
the
following
commissioners
who
oversee
the
coordination
of
these
projects
and
ask
them
to
present
summaries
and
please
provide
any
updates
item.
6A
is
youth
master
plan
implementation?
C
Hi
everyone
so
myself,
along
with
commissioner
melton,
are
planning
a
school
safety,
informational,
video,
we're
working
with
the
school
resource
officers,
the
chief
of
police
and
the
local
high
schools,
the
principals
at
each
of
the
local
high
schools
to
try
to
get
that
together,
and
we
do
not
have
a
date
yet,
but
it
will
be
coming
soon
and
I
will
let
everyone
know
when
that
gets
published
and
yeah
look
out
for
it.
Thank
you.
D
C
Hello,
so
our
main
goal
is
to
try
to
get
more
people
to
be
included
and
that's
one
of
our
main
goals.
Overall
and
specifically
this
commission,
this
committee
has
been
working
on
the
inclusion
of
this
special
needs
students
in
our
community,
so
we
have
a
virtual
therapeutic
dance
coming
up
to
get
them
involved.
Although
it's
very
difficult,
we
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
get
them
involved
in
the
promotion.
C
Hi
everyone
in
the
vaping
prevention,
mental
health
subcommittee.
We
are
hosting
an
orientation
tomorrow
at
4pm
with
bright,
which
is
building
resilience
and
inclusion
through
engagement
for
subcommittee
members.
In
addition
to
exploring
at
the
bright
world
and
all
the
possibilities,
we
will
be
going
over
ideas
for
messaging.
C
B
D
And
you
know
a
lot
of
youth
that
have
made
a
significant
impact
in
the
community
feel
free
to
nominate
them.
Using
that
form,
you
can
nominate
multiple
youth
and
we
are
so
excited
to
be
able
to
host
the
event
this
year,
even
though
it
may
be
virtual.

liaisons
to
various
youth
organizations.
Commissioner
alaski,
will
you
please

Thank
you

I
would
now
like
to
introduce
item
7c,
the
asg
asb
portion
of
our
meeting.
The
youth
commission
invites
representatives
from
each
of
our
local
high
schools
in
intermediate
or
middle
schools
to
present
information
about
school
activities
for
the
purpose
of
generating
a
feeling
of
communion
spirit.
B
Hi,
my
name
is
ashley
strong
and
I'm
the
president
of
sycamore
canyons
asb,
as
we
are
ending
our
trimester
on
friday.
We
are
planning
many
fun
activities
for
trimester
3.
on
march
19th.
We
will
be
starting
class
competitions.
Basically,
students
will
earn
points
by
completing
weekly
challenges,
such
as
random
acts
of
kindness
and
supporting
local
businesses.
B
B
We
also
host
online
lunchtime
activities
on
wednesdays
for
remote
students
to
participate
in
lately.
There
has
been
a
lack
of
participation
for
spirit
days,
so
we
decided
to
make
the
spirit
days
more
simple:
to
increase
the
participation
on
friday
march
19th,
we
will
be
having
a
college
wear
day.
We
are
also
playing
music
during
our
break.
We
have
been
using
new
playlists
every
time
and
are
considering
having
a
music
suggestion
boost
for
teacher
and
staff
birthdays.
We
have
been
giving
king-sized
candy
bars
balloons
and
a
card
to
reward
our
students.
B
D
Hi,
my
name
is
ahana
bunya
and
I'm
the
treasurer
of
sycamore
hangings
asb.
We
are
also
currently
working
with
our
vice
principal
to
see
if
we
can
have
some
sort
of
drive-through
social
event.
The
idea
is
being
run
by
our
asb
class
and
our
principal.
We
are
also
putting
together
an
online
social
for
our
remote
learners.
D
Also,
we
are
trying
to
put
together
a
virtual
talent
show
for
our
middle
schoolers
and
even
some
of
the
elementary
students
at
our
school.
We
are
keeping
our
website
up
today
and
adding
pictures
from
our
student
body
during

We
have
been
having
some
asb
students
take

We
are
also
advertising
for
our
twitter

instagram
as
much
as
possible.
D
We
also
send
out
remind
texts
to
the
students
to
give
them
reminders
about
upcoming
events.
Also,
this
week
we
started
a
new
social
distancing,
encouragement
activity.
Our
campus
supervisors
and
administrators
pass
out
tickets
to
students
who
are
socially
distant,
and
the
students
can
collect
these
tickets
to
win
many
prizes,
such
as
led
lights,
bluetooth
speakers,
gift
cards
and
many
other
prizes.
Thank
you.

will
take
place
on

We
cannot
wait
to
showcase
several
of
our
performing
groups
on

in
our
virtual

As
we
have
done
in
the
past,
we
will
be
presenting
a
staff
of
the
week
each

and
featuring
them
on
