SUMMARY
It is the City of Hayward’s practice to conduct the annual recruitment for the Hayward Youth Commission (HYC) from March to May of every year.
The HYC comprises twenty-one (21) voting members and eleven (11) alternates. During 2019 and 2020, there were two (2) vacancies resulting from resignations. At the beginning of March, twenty (20) members, with terms ending on June 30, 2020, were identified as eligible and in good standing to seek reappointment.
Due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and California and Alameda County shelter-in-place orders, the City was unable to conduct the 2020 Hayward Youth Commission recruitment. An Informational Report was presented to the City Council on May 5, 2020, to keep the Council abreast of the decision to suspend the recruitment and extend terms of members through June 30, 2021, as well as to promote alternates to voting member status.
