At the first meeting of the youth council, members were briefed on the upcoming One-Stop Service Provider RFP.

Discussion ensued. There were no suggestions of additional vendors to add to the RFP to provide youth services. Staff asked for volunteers who would be interested in being a part of the rating team to review the youth portion of the RFP. Dan Rodgers agreed to volunteer and Mike Menyhart agreed to serve as a backup. NextGen Discussion and Q & A Staff discussed the NextGen program.
