Joint BCC / Youth Commission

The Board of County Commissioners convened a Joint Meeting with the Youth Commission on April 21, 2026, with all thirteen commissioners present. The session was entirely ceremonial and informational, focusing on youth leadership, civic engagement, and advisory committee milestones.

The meeting highlighted the achievements of various youth-led committees, including presentations on advocacy, education, and cultural arts. Additionally, representatives from the Mayor's Office and the Youth Commission shared final remarks regarding the 2025-2026 term and upcoming college decisions for the participating student commissioners. No items from this joint session were deferred to future agendas.
