The Regular Meeting agenda for the Campbell Youth Commission included several key discussion items. Announcements covered the availability of the 2026-2027 Youth Commission Term Applications, recruitment for the Santa Clara County Youth Task Force, and the opening of the Youth and Teen Recreation Services scholarship with a February 27th deadline. Further announcements detailed the upcoming CAYC Spring Conference 2026, featuring speakers such as Congressman Ro Khanna. Old Business centered on reviewing the Youth Commissioner involvement with the Valentine's Day Fun Run/Walk held on February 7th and receiving updates from each Ad Hoc group on their work plan items, including social media outreach and Open House integration. New Business focused on the California Association of Youth Commission E-Bike Safety Video Contest, encouraging the commission to create a submission.

The agenda for this Regular Meeting of the Parks & Recreation Commission includes several new business items for discussion and potential action, specifically related to the Multimodal Transportation Plan, Adult Center Programs & Services, the Bunnies & Bonnets Parade, a potential meeting at a park, a facilities tour, and Community Events. Staff reports covered updates on Parks, including the success of the Community Garden volunteer clean-up, needed repairs to the Campbell Community Center track, completion of skatepark demolition with new equipment arriving soon, and ongoing management of graffiti at John D Morgan Park. The Recreation & Community Services report noted the successful fumigation at the Ainsley House, upcoming performances at the Heritage Theatre, details on the Adult Center's Lunar New Year event, the reopening of the pool, and a scheduled study session with the City Council regarding infrastructure maintenance. Discussions during 'Good of the Game' included observations on wildlife, appreciation for graffiti removal, and maintenance needs at Campbell Park.

The meeting agenda included communications, staff reports from the Museum Supervisor and Senior Services Supervisor, and a City Update from the Assistant City Manager. New business focused on the March Study Session agenda item regarding Neighborhood Association Grant Application Review. Project updates were provided for 'Get To Know Campbell,' 'Art Outside the Box,' and 'Children's Arts and Crafts' (listed as 'Explore Art' in the minutes). Significant discussion occurred under Unfinished Business regarding Civic Improvement Commission Committee Roles, resulting in the dissolution of existing subcommittees (Campbell Cares; Capture Campbell; Explore Art; Neighborhood Association and Street name) while agreeing to continue the listed projects under a project-based work-tracking system. The Good of the Game segment included discussions on the closure of Pruneyard Cinemas, an encouragement to attend the annual library forum, and a suggestion to display the 2026 sesquicentennial flag at City Hall.

Key discussions included the introduction of a new commissioner and the election of a new Chair and Vice Chair. The commission reviewed the Annual Workplan, deciding to develop ad hoc committees as needed rather than using standing subcommittees, with the item scheduled for approval next month. Updates were provided on the Valentine Fun Run event, scheduled for February 7, 2026. Significant time was spent discussing the Skatepark Renovation Project, noting that closure signs would be posted soon, with demolition starting in February, and addressing concerns about equipment disposal. An update was also given on the John D Morgan Park Budd Restroom Project, which has had its contract signed, with a prefabricated building expected in 6-8 months. Staff reports covered park maintenance, including weed control and encampment removals, as well as updates on the Ainsley House closure for termite treatment and roof reinforcement, the Adult Center Lunar New Year event, and the pool closure due to leaks.

The primary focus of this meeting agenda was a Public Hearing concerning the application by CUONG TRINH, PHARM.D., Inc., dba Wellness Pharmacy, for a Conditional Use Permit. This permit seeks approval to allow ancillary retail (pharmacy) sales to support a pharmaceutical compounding and prescription fulfillment laboratory located at 750 E. McGlincy Ln., Ste. 102. The staff recommendation was to adopt a resolution approving this permit, noting that the use is intended to be primarily laboratory-based, with retail activity limited and subordinate to the industrial use. The agenda also included the approval of minutes from the February 10, 2026 meeting, general communications, and New Business covering Planning Commissioner/Subcommittee Reports and a Report of the Community Development Director.
