RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2016/513 honoring the service of Joseph Jackson, who has served for two years ending August 30, 2016, as Chair of the Youth Council in the City of Richmond.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

Joseph Jackson, resident of Richmond and Richmond native, attended Richmond Public and Charter schools. He visits and uses West Contra Costa County's parks and libraries. Mr. Jackson is the first African American to serve on the Richmond Youth Council, and also its first elected chairperson.

Jackson enjoys sports. His favorite teams are the Oakland Athletics, Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Jackson is a member of the United States National Guard, and an avid believer of community policing where not only the police protect the communities they're sworn to serve, but work with the residents as well.

Jackson has served on numerous civic bodies and committees, including the City of Richmond's Juneteenth Festival planning committee and the Vote16USA Youth Advisory Board.

Chair Jackson's favorite quote is his own: "It's what we do in our darkest moments, that define our brightest moments."
