<br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting Date: September 11, 2018 <br /> <br /> <br />Motion- Appointing two students as Student Liaisons on the Planning and Parks Commissions. <br /> <br /> <br />OVERVIEW: <br /> <br />The New Brighton-St. Anthony School District is launching a Youth in Leadership program to place <br />youth on a variety of civic organization boards. As part of our identified goal to foster and encourage <br />civic engagement, staff recommends adding youth as non-voting members to our Planning and Parks <br />Commissions. The students must be a St. Anthony resident for appointment on the Planning and Parks <br />commissions and past participation in Students in Government is preferred. This opportunity would <br />give the youth the experience of serving on an appointed board, learn about issues tasked to the <br />Planning and Parks Commissions, develop leadership skills and build their resume. The city will be <br />able to hear from youth regarding city issues during discussion at the meetings. <br /> <br />The term of their appointments will be September 2018 through July 2019. <br /> <br />Staff recommends appointing Nimo Hashi as the Student Liaison to the Planning Commission and Aye <br />Keita as the Student Liaison to the Parks Commission. <br />15
