Temple City swears in commissioners and introduces 2024–25 youth committee
Summary
Council administered oaths to returning and new planning, parks and transportation commissioners and heard youth committee members outline a year of commission shadowing, museum visits, event support and a proposed QR‑code self‑guided tour of Las Tunas.
Temple City Council administered oaths of office Aug. 6 to returning and new commissioners across planning, parks and transportation commissions and welcomed the city’s 2024–25 youth committee members.
City Clerk Peggy led the oath for Planning Commission members Serge Hadad and Tom (last name unclear in the transcript), Parks & Recreation appointees Crystal Hadad, Jose Taran and Kathy Burrows, and Transportation & Public Safety appointees Osama Nimy and Sunny Low. Council presented certificates of appointment and posed for photos.
The newly formed city youth committee introduced itself and outlined objectives including attending commission meetings, outreach to partner agencies (California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, Foothill Transit, Mosquito and Vector District, Clean Power Alliance, and the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments), a December visit to the Homestead Museum and participation in city events such as Lights on TC and the ChamiLa Festival. Youth members also proposed installing QR‑code markers along Las Tunas to create a self‑guided downtown history tour: "Our objective is to learn about the city and the services that are provided to the community," said Sarah Quo, a senior representative.
Council members praised the volunteers and encouraged community participation in upcoming youth committee meetings, scheduled bimonthly on the fourth Thursday beginning Sept. 26. The ceremonial oathings required no council vote and concluded with photos and distribution of welcome materials.
