ORDINANCE 857, AMEND CITY CODE CHAPTER 202, PLANNING COMMISSION AND CHAPTER 2501, PARKS & REC COMMISSION, TO ADD YOUTH REPRESENTATIVES The Community Development Director/Planner explained that Enhancing Identity and Empowering Community was one of the four strategic directions included in the City's 2019 Strategic Plan. She stated that one of the strategic initiatives related to this directionwas to increase community engagement by adding a youth member to the City Commissions. She explained that in order to add a youth commissioner to the Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission, Chapter 202, Planning Commission, and Chapter 2501, Park and Recreation Commission, must be amended with language that allows for a youth commissioner. She stated that after reviewing other cities that have a youth commissioner, staff has outlined criteria for a Youth Commissioner on both Commissions. She noted that the youth commissioners would not be paid. Torkelson questioned why the youth commissioner would not be paid and felt the youth's time was no different than a regular commissioner. The City Administrator stated that it is not too common to pay Commissioners and thought that we may move away from doing that in the future, and by not starting it now would not complicate things later. McGraw stated he does not want to distinguish between the Commissioners. McGraw stated that the discussion about Commission pay can be put on the next Council agenda. There was Council consensus to treat all of the commissioners the same and pay everyone the same. McGraw introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOL UTION NO. 2 021-12-148 — ADOPT ORDINANCE 85 7, AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 202, PLANNING COMMISSION, AND CHAPTER 2501, PARKAND RECREATION COMMISSION, ADDINGA HIGHSCHOOL AGE YOUTH
