A packet was distributed to the commission members as supplementary material to the presentation. The presentation began with a brief overview about what the Puget Sound Regional Council (henceforth PSRC) does: "develops policies and coordinates decisions about regional growth, transportation, and economic development planning within King, Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties." The presenters shared that by 2050, the Puget Sound region is expecting a growth of 1.8 million more people and 1.2 million new jobs and that the purpose of the PSRC is to manage that growth by working with counties, cities, and other groups like the Edmonds Youth Commission to effectively plan for the future. The presenters then lead an ice breaker, asking each commission member what they like best about living in Edmonds: the natural environment and outdoor recreation, shopping, restaurants, and entertainment, or the people. Everyone shared that they like the natural environment a lot. PSRC then explained what planning is. The commission learned it consists of Page 1.1.2 planning where people live, what jobs people will have, and how people will play (have fun in the community). Then, the commission did the first activity, which was placing "emoji" stickers on a map of Southwest Snohomish County. The commission placed the "heart eye emoji" on areas the commission loves about Edmonds, the "upset emoji" on places the commission dislikes about Edmonds, and the "tools emoji" on areas the commission would like to change. Many members placed heart eye emojis on the beach and the outdoor areas. The downtown area of Edmonds consisted of upset emojis because there are not very many activities or affordable restaurants for teens in downtown Edmonds. Teens often call the town "Deadmonds" for this reason. The "tool emojis" were placed downtown as well because of this. The commission also noted that the generations in Edmonds are very isolated from each other, and planning some sort of community space might help bridge the gap between the young and the older. Many members said they like going to downtown Seattle because of all the activities they offer, so it would be nice if Edmonds had some of the same things so Edmonds youth wouldn't have to travel as far. This led into the second activity, where commission members placed Legos° on the map: yellow for areas housing would be developed, red for areas where jobs should be planned, and green for areas where parks and open space should be added. Lots of yellow and red legos were put in the downtown Edmonds area, and green legos were placed near and around downtown. Specifically, the commission put red legos near high schools for more healthy food options for students. Though the commission put housing and people downtown, the commission doesn't want Edmonds to turn into a mass of apartment complexes; rather, retain the smaller town atmosphere. The commission also mentioned that more housing and jobs could go near the future light rail. The presenters concluded the meeting by asking the commission members what new information they learned or what they are excited to see in future Edmonds. Future Communication Method: Options: 1. GroupMe a. Works really well and is consistent, works on multiple OS, and is easy to use 2. Email, where people check it more often Motion to use GroupMe as opposed to the previous methods of communication Motion passed unanimously Moving Forward: - Returning members - Begin the recruiting process for commission positions whose tenure ends in June - Summit: Page 1.1.3 Two-year plan for summit makes it bigger, and it's good long term, but the commission needs to address other issues right now Instead: - Small monthly projects - Quarterly Youth Forums - Monthly Partnership Projects - w/ another commission - w/ a food bank - w/ NGOs - Etc. - These would help to build credibility, connections, and to solve issues - Focus on this next meeting Smaller projects for school issues — Quarterly Forums Teen nights - Swing Dances or night walks through Yost Park, an Open Mic Night, or something else that the commission could run for youth More meetings - Meeting twice a month is difficult, the commission canceled multiple meetings due to snow and spring break - Could the commission add on another meeting? The commission would need to draft an amendment the Youth Commission's ordinance to present to the City Council - Perhaps not on a Wednesday? Maybe the first and third Wednesday and then the second Friday? Or the commission could extend the meetings later. - The most reasonable option seems to be 6-8, or during new recruiting period, the commission may add additional meetings for the future - Casey will ask Carrie about officially extending meetings by a half hour Meeting w/ Council - The commission currently doesn't go to City Council meetings, and the commission should advise City Council on youth -related issues so - The commission should begin attending every City Council meeting on the first Tuesday of the month - They are also live -streamed, so the entire commission does not need to show up at every Council meeting unless there was an important issue - The commission can then have a discussion after each council meeting - The commission also REALLY wants teens to show up at these meetings, so the commission should be the trend-setters and have adults notice youth opinions more Page 1.1.4 Building representation with youth is especially important Check emails - CHECK EMAILS TWICE A WEEKIIIIIII And respond so Casey knows it has been read. This Saturday, there is a march from the Columbine Shooting at the Seattle City Hall from 10-12, and y'all should come - Woodway students join Liberty United - Partnership with Diversity Commission? - Giovanni came in and wanted the commission's opinion on whether the commission would be interested in participating in events relating to diversity Homework: CHECK EMAILIIIIIIII Think about additional meeting times?

PSRC is composed of over 80 jurisdictions, including all four counties, cities and towns, ports, state and local transportation agencies and tribal governments within the region. In Washington State, planning is done a little differently than other places. The Growth Management Act requires that cities, counties, and regional planning agencies coordinate and plan for expected growth. PSRC works with local counties and cities, and other partners, to create a regional plan that describes how the region can grow. 4 Page 1.4.5 Visio20500t,-,0'oo VISION 2050 is a shared and integrated strategy for how and where the central Puget Sound region should grow. Population in the region has grown to 4.1 million, with more than 376,000 new residents added since 2010. More growth is coming.
