Body
Background:
During the ‘Other Matters’ item of the January 22, 2019 City Council Meeting, Councilmember Duclos requested consideration of holding a joint study session with the Beach Cities Health District (BCHD) regarding youth health issues. This request was supported by Councilmembers Fangary and Massey.
No discussion, action or public comments are taken for ‘Other Matters’ items. Requests supported by three councilmembers are placed on a future agenda as a business item.
Due to the discussion topic of youth health issues, the School District was invited to join the study session. Wednesday, June 5, 2019 works for all three agencies.
