The commission also voted to recommend the City Council not add two alternate seats to the commission.

Nominations and elections
Commissioner Quaid Kelly accepted a nomination and, with no other candidates nominated for the chair position, was declared chair for the 2025–26 year. The nomination was seconded; the chair position was filled without a formal roll‑call tally recorded on the meeting transcript.

For vice chair, three nominees were put forward. Following seconds and discussion, the commission took a verbal roll call; Commissioner Hubbell received a majority and was declared vice chair with a reported majority vote of six commissioners.

Minutes and calendar votes
The commission unanimously approved the regular meeting minutes for June 4, 2025, and the youth commission orientation workshop notes for Aug. 20, 2025. Chair Kelly moved to adopt the proposed fiscal year 2025–26 meeting calendar and Vice Chair Hubbell seconded; the commission approved the meeting calendar by verbal vote.

Alternates proposal
The City Council had asked the commission for input on a proposed municipal code change to allow two alternates on the youth commission. After discussion, Chair Kelly moved that the commission not recommend adding two alternates; Vice Chair Hubbell seconded. The motion passed with eight commissioners voting yes and one commissioner abstaining. Commissioners who opposed adding alternates cited a preference for maintaining the commission's current size and concerns about the effectiveness of alternate arrangements; commissioners who spoke in favor of alternatives urged more recruitment and suggested reapplying in future cycles.

Work plan discussion (informational)
Commissioners reviewed a draft work plan that groups previous ad hoc activities under broader stated goals. Major themes discussed included civic and community engagement (including a proposed short video series in partnership with the Senior Commission), environmental stewardship and habitat restoration projects, arts initiatives (including Art Night and Pacific View Arts Center collaborations), mobility and e‑bike safety (proposed to be folded into youth health and safety), STEM and library engagement, and a proposed youth financial‑literacy project. Staff and commissioners agreed to refine and condense stated goals before finalizing the work plan at a future meeting.

Scheduling and events
Staff identified near‑term volunteer and event opportunities related to the work plan, including a bike valet event Sept. 28, a movie in the park on Oct. 25, and Pacific View Arts Center safe trick‑or‑treat activities on Oct. 31. Commissioners discussed scheduling constraints for January–April meetings and were advised that final calendar adjustments could be made at a later meeting.

The program, she said, has operated in Encinitas since 1988 and gives local youth the opportunity either to host international delegates or to serve as delegates themselves. \"What is most important about this exchange is the friendships that are formed, the new perspectives that you gain when you share your home and your community with someone from across the world,\" White said.

White told commissioners the city hosted six students, all about 14 to 15 years old, and two adult chaperones from Omoxa during July 29–Aug. 4. Activities included surf lessons, beach volleyball at Moonlight Beach, an e‑bike tour along Coast Highway 101, skateboarding lessons with local Olympian Bryce Weststein, screenprinting and art sessions at Pacific View Arts Center, and a Padres facility tour and translated visit. Local businesses and organizations donated goods and services, including Encinitas 101, the Encinitas Chamber, Cardiff 101, Hansen's, Sunbelt, Concept Surf Shop, St. John Smith Volleyball, Trek and Charlie's e‑bike rentals, Swami's Cafe, El Nopalito, the Encinitas Fire Department, Alyona's Party Rentals, Choice Juicery, Broad Street DoCo and The Baked Bear, White said.

White and commissioners emphasized that host families and the Sister City Committee made the exchange possible. She noted three youth commissioners served as hosts and a fourth joined one activity. White described the program as youth‑centered: hosts act as cultural ambassadors while delegates experience daily life in Encinitas.

The presentation included a short video summarizing the week and closed with White thanking the Sister City Committee, host families and city staff for their participation. Commissioners who had participated in the exchange described personal benefits, saying the program created lasting friendships and broadened participants' perspectives.

No formal action was taken by the commission on Sept. 3; the item was presented as a special presentation and informational update.","Supervisor Nicole White told the Encinitas Youth Commission that six students and two adult chaperones from Omoxa, Japan, visited Encinitas July 29–Aug. 4 as part of the city's long‑running sister‑city exchange, highlighting cultural programs, donated activities and host‑family participation.","actionData","errors"]
