Commissioner He will take on meeting with Commissioner Soto. Staff suggested it might be a good idea to write a letter to the new officers who will be taking their current positions on EC.

B. Debrief last full YC meeting

There seemed to be some misunderstandings and confusion regarding some legislation referred. Staff will work with Supervisors and their aides to see if they can come with material that is more youth friendly and accessible so youth can make a clear and informed decision.
