The Redondo Beach Youth Commission voted to continue its Communications and Teen Center & Events subcommittees and to make bicycle and e‑bike safety the commission’s principal work focus for the coming year. The multipart motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote; individual roll‑call votes were not recorded in the transcript.

Staff told commissioners the annual prioritization will guide monthly agendas and that longer‑term projects may remain on the master list for future commissions to review. “So just know that this is really important that we do this tonight,” the staff presenter said as the commission opened discussion on the item.

Commissioners discussed many proposed activities in support of teen engagement and safety, then agreed to concentrate commission time on developing a thorough package of recommendations for bike and e‑bike safety — including enforcement, theft prevention, secured parking and potential infrastructure such as protected bike lanes. Staff said the Redondo Beach Police Department is tentatively scheduled to present on e‑bike enforcement at a future meeting to give commissioners baseline information about current municipal codes and police practice.

As part of the motion commissioners also approved continuing the Communications and Teen Center & Events subcommittees and confirmed the volunteers shown on the meeting screen. Staff said each subcommittee may include up to seven commissioners and that commissioners may add or remove themselves from subcommittees during the year at a public meeting. The staff presenter said the communications subcommittee will help broaden outreach across platforms and that the teen‑center subcommittee will advise on programming and events.

Next steps
Staff said it will clean up and redistribute the prioritized list, draft generalized subcommittee tasks for commissioner review, schedule departmental briefings where appropriate (staff intent: brief presentations from city departments about their work), and return next month with baseline materials on e‑bike policy and enforcement so the commission can decide a course of action.
