Daly City commission announces youth commissioner seat, application process and upcoming community events
Summary
Commissioners announced that the City Council has amended the recreation commission ordinance to add a youth commissioner and alternate (eligibility up to 17, two-year term), staff explained how to apply and listed upcoming events including a Feb. 7 crab feed and Feb. 21 community festival at Pacelli Event Center.
Daly City officials told the Recreation Commission that the City Council recently amended the city code to add a youth commissioner seat and an alternate, and staff explained how residents can apply for the open fifth seat on the commission.
Chair Montanas announced that during the City Council's second reading the ordinance amendment to add a youth commissioner had passed unanimously. Staff said a youth commissioner will be eligible up to age 17 and will hold the seat for up to two years (until high school graduation); the council will select the appointment from applications submitted to the city clerk.
Edgardo, speaking for the Recreation Department, told commissioners the application for commission appointments is available on the city website (dalycity.org) under Agendas and Boards and that completed applications go to the city clerk for council consideration. "If you go to the city website at dalycity.org and you navigate to the agendas and boards, there's an application on there that you can apply," Edgardo said.
Staff also announced upcoming department events: the annual crab feed on Saturday, Feb. 7 at the Pacelli Event Center (limited space and table reservations available), and a family-friendly community event moving back to the Pacelli Event Center on Saturday, Feb. 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The chair also relayed a public comment about a youth-led "Letters to Cancer Patients" event on Saturday, Jan. 31, with letters to benefit UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.
Commissioners discussed possible department support for Rock the School Bells, a long-running program hosted at Skyline College and described by one speaker as in its nineteenth year. Staff said no formal request for support had been received but that the department could reach out to explore food or volunteer support.
The commission closed the meeting by confirming its next regular meeting for Feb. 24, 2026 and adjourning by voice vote.
