Imelda M. Huerta, Vice Chair ATTEST: Randi Johl, Executive Director Item No. 2 Item No. 3 RACE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT TO: Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) Commission FROM: Randi Johl, Executive Director DATE: January 13, 2022 SUBJECT: Review Existing Youth in Government Program, Consider Opportunities for Additional Inclusion, and Provide General Recommendations Regarding the Same PREPARED BY: Randi Johl, Director of Legislative Affairs/City Clerk RECOMMENDATION: That the Commission review the existing Youth in Government Program, consider opportunities for additional inclusion, and provide general recommendations regarding the same. BACKGROUND: The City Council of the City of Temecula has historically supported and promoted active youth engagement with City Hall. Current and former Council Members, including Jeff Comerchero, Maryann Edwards, and Chuck Washington, proactively worked with the City Clerk's office to actively engage youth of all ages in the community as a part of our overall civic engagement effort. From participating in Read Across America Day to holding our own Youth in Government Program, these efforts expand more than decade. As the community has grown and youth demographics have changed, it is necessary to review related programs to ensure relevancy and inclusion. As such, it is recommended that the Commission receive an overview of the City's existing Youth in Government Program and related demographic information and provide general recommendations to enhance the program through additional inclusionary methods.

BACKGROUND: On September 9, 2021, the Commission considered opportunities to host a multicultural event in the City of Temecula at the request of Subcommittee Members Mayor Rahn and Council Member Edwards. While there were many ideas and thoughts shared during the discussion, the broader concepts of consensus included the following: (1) The single day event could be a festival of sorts held annually on the weekend closest to May 2 1 " coinciding with World Cultural Diversity Day; (2) All segments of the community should be made aware of the event and encouraged to attend or actively participate included (i.e., individuals, children, families, etc.) based on current demographic data of the community; (3) Activities could include food, drink, entertainment, and education tied to cuisine, history, and awareness of different cultures and related norms; (4) There could be an economic, tourism, and resource tie in with the event for local businesses, service providers, and non -profits. This year World Cultural Diversity Day falls on Saturday, May 21, 2022. It is recommended that the Commission provide any final recommendations, including from new commissioners who were not present during the original discussion, so that the Community Services event staff can move forward with solidifying its plans and final City Council approval.
