STAFF REPORT <br />TO:Mayor Fischer and Members of the City Council <br />FROM:Heidi Heller, City Clerk/HR Manager <br />Steve Anderson, Parks & Rec Director <br />DATE:July 24, 2024 <br />RE:2024-2025 Youth Commissioner Appointments <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />A motion to reappoint Youth Commissioners Alexis Lum and Ayanna Churcher to 1-year terms <br />from August 1, 2024 - July 31, 2025. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Youth Commissioner terms run for 1-year from August 1 – July 31 and Youth Commissioners can <br />serve up to three full terms. The terms of office for Youth Planning Commissioner Alexis Lum <br />and Youth Parks & Rec Commissioner Ayanna Churcher will expire on July 31, 2024. <br />The City has received requests for reappointment from Alexis (Ali) Lum and Ayanna Churcher. <br />Both are the first City of Little Canada youth commissioners and began serving on their <br />commissions in December 2022. Ali and Ayanna’s first term was a partial term, and they have <br />now served a full one-year term. Both have greatly enjoyed serving on the commissions and <br />requested to be reappointed. Staff recommends that both Ali and Ayanna be reappointed for 1- <br />year terms beginning on August 1, 2024. City Staff has enjoyed adding youth commissioners and <br />are excited to have Ali and Ayanna continue serving as commissioners. <br />Youth commissioners are eligible if they are age 18 or under and enrolled in high school. Ayanna <br />will be a senior so this is her last year of eligibility to serve as a youth commissioner. City staff <br />intends to do more outreach to the area high schools this coming year to encourage others to <br />apply. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends reappointing Alexis Lum to the Planning Commission and Ayanna Churcher to <br />the Parks & Recreation Commission for 1-years terms from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025.
