Pursuant to said discussion, there was a consensus to create a teen or youth advisory <br />committee. Youth advisory committees can promote community service and foster a better <br />understanding among young people of how municipal government works. They are also an excellent <br />means of promoting regular and active civic engagement among young people, which is vitally <br />important to provide the knowledge, skills and abilities to the next generation of local leaders. <br />In furtherance of the City's efforts to provide the City's youth with opportunities to participate in the <br />City's decision-making process, the City wishes to create a Youth Advisory Committee that shall make <br />non-binding recommendations to the Commission relating to matters affecting youth in the <br />community. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Ordinance <br />Item Number: 9.A <br />144 <br />
