SUBJECT
Title
Adopt a Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Negotiate and Execute a Memorandum of Understanding with Hayward Area Recreation and Parks District and Hayward Unified School District to Fund and Administer the Youth Commission
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) authorizing the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Hayward Area Recreation and Parks District (HARD) and Hayward Unified School District (HUSD) to fund and administer the Hayward Youth Commission and provide youth in the City with a means of communicating their concerns, needs, and opinions to HARD, HUSD, and the City.
End
SUMMARY
This staff report is to authorize the approval of an MOU for the Youth Commission. While the Youth Commission has operated since 1992 as a partnership between HARD, HUSD, and the City, it has done so without a formal operating agreement beyond the resolutions adopted by each agency. The MOU will generally formalize the partnership, establish clearer responsibilities and roles for each agency and the staff advisors to the Commission, nominally increase the annual financial support each agency provides to the Commission, and allow the financial support to roll over from fiscal year to fiscal year.
