Youth Commission Meeting | November 9, 2026

The City of Gilroy Youth Commission met on November 9, 2026. The commission voted 8–0–0 to hire a live band for approximately $900 for the planned intergenerational dance, favoring live music over a DJ offered at no cost by a city employee. The band would play for about two hours of the two-and-a-half-hour event. Members also discussed using the same caterer as the prior year, but no catering cost or purchasing decision was recorded. The apparel committee was still gathering sizes and names to place an order; staff discussed possible expedited delivery using remaining funds, though the amounts and any approval were unclear in the transcript.

The commission also voted 8–0–0 to continue developing light pollution as its legislative issue, including possible streetlight measures such as shielding and reduced wattage; no procurement action was identified for that discussion. Members organized committees and staffing for upcoming community events, including senior technology assistance, Breakfast with Santa, and the opportunity fair.
