Meeting Location Date Topic Comment <br />May 4, 2022 Youth Programs <br />Disappointment in city staff for youth outreach in budget forum. Only one social media post was made for <br />this budget forum and the meeting took place during school hours and extracurricular activities. City <br />needs to consider youth and community events when planning these meetings concerning the budget. <br />The City struggles to youth community and need to take direction from Youth Commission. Direction from <br />youth not being taken seriously. Need another youth budget forum in person during time that is <br />accessible to young people to engage in budget decisions. <br />Youth Programs Expressed funding need for more parks, youth programs, arts programs, deal with environmental issues <br />Youth Programs Which non-profits provide youth services? <br />Youth Programs <br />More information is wanted about the data/numbers on youth outreach in Santa Ana?
