The addition of a second youth member will require a change to the <br /> Code of Ordinances section that governs the PRC. A memorandum from the PRC, a resolution, <br /> and the proposed changes to Article 26, subsections 26-115 and 26-117 of the Code of <br /> Ordinances are attached. <br /> If approved, the PRC would work with the Clerk to the Board's Office to recruit applicants. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no identified financial impact associated with this item. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable <br /> to this item: <br /> • GOAL: ENABLE FULL CIVIC PARTICIPATION <br /> Ensure that Orange County residents are able to engage government through voting and <br /> volunteering by eliminating disparities in participation and barriers to participation. <br /> • GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND <br /> INEQUITY <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; <br /> religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or ethnic <br /> background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic status. <br />
