Recreation and Youth Commission

At a glance

• What: The Mayor proposes replacing the Youth Commission with a Recreation and Youth Commission. The Mayor's October 7 letter says the current commission was never validly accepted under M.G.L. c.40 section 8E.
• Where it stands: Public hearing on the Administrative Code amendment (C0213-26) is on the November 9 agenda. Ordinance C0221-26, removing the Youth Commission from Chapter 2 of the Revised Ordinances, is listed again under unfinished business, although the October 26 Council page records ordinances enrolled on roll calls that included the Youth Commission removal.
