Youth participants thank council for 'Brother to Brother' support; city cites HomeKey grant for Rio Linda Senior Center
Summary
Multiple youth participants and alumni spoke at council to thank the city for funding the 'Brother to Brother' youth leadership program; council staff also announced a state HomeKey grant for the Rio Linda Senior Center as part of event announcements.
Several youth participants and alumni took the public‑comment period to thank the council for funding the 'Brother to Brother' summer leadership program and to describe skills they gained in leadership, money management and communication.
"He aprendido a ser proactiva... y estoy agradecida de formar parte de este grupo," said Nora Walker during the public‑comment period; other youth speakers (Marvin; Jesse Walker; Darlene Gilmore; Madison; Zaira Brookins; Antonio) gave brief testimonials about punctuality, responsibility and community engagement fostered by the program.
Separately, city staff announced the city received a state HomeKey grant for the Rio Linda Senior Center; the meeting transcript renders the award amount with formatting issues ('31 coma 9000000 de dólares') and did not provide a clear numeric value. Staff also encouraged residents to attend upcoming National Night Out events and other community activities.
The public testimonials and announcements were recorded during the general public‑comment and announcements sections; no council action on the youth program or the HomeKey grant was recorded on July 28.
