BACKGROUND
The Redondo Beach Municipal Code (RBMC), which includes local laws specific to the City of Redondo Beach, includes rules and regulations related to the City's various boards and commissions, including the Youth Commission ("Commission"). RBMC 2-9.602, which outlines the duties and purpose of the Commission, states that the Commission is required to report semi-annually to the City Council on needs and priorities of the City's youth regarding City policies and projects.
Staff recommends that the Commission provide a presentation to the City Council at an upcoming City Council meeting in order to formally update the council on the work completed by the Commission throughout the last few months as well as key teen-related topics that the Commission would like to be addressed. This presentation would serve as one of the two required reports to the City Council for 2026.
To help determine which topics the Commission would like to be addressed in the presentation, included below are main topics and presentations that have been included on the Commission's agendas since October 2025:
* E-bikes: the Commission identified E-bike safety, use, and policies as a key focus area for the year. The Commission received a presentation from the Redondo Beach Police Department on this topic as well as a presentation from the Public Works Department regarding the implementation and use of bike lanes.
* Subcommittee Development: the Commission chose to continue the work of the Community & Social Media Subcommittee as well as the Teen Center & Events Subcommittee.
* Transit Services: representatives from the Transit Division provided a presentation to the Commission regarding Beach Cities Transit (BCT) offerings and how BCT may better provide services for teens.
