BACKGROUND:
The City of Encinitas has several Commissions that are advisory to the City Council as described in the Encinitas Municipal Code Chapter (EMC) 2.30 Boards, Commissions and Committees. As an advisory body, the Youth Commission is charged with gathering information and making recommendations to the City Council on matters related to their identified work plan activities within the community and may advise on policies and plans for the development and operation of programs and services for the benefit of the Encinitas community. To accomplish the Commission duties, commissioners develop a draft work plan annually to use as a tool that provides structure, defines goals, and tracks progress.

In order to provide the Youth Commission with a better understanding of local government and City Council’s strategic focus areas, the commission will continue their discussion of the 2020-2021 work plan initiatives. At the October 7, 2020 meeting, the commission finalized and approved the FY 2020 – 21 Youth commission Work Plan. The Youth Commission has selected various ad-hoc committees for each work plan item to accomplish their goals.
The Youth Commission work plan was presented to the City Council on October 28, 2020 as part of the consent calendar. At the meeting, City Council voted to approve the work plan.
