REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br />Meeting Date: August 27, 2019 <br />Motion- Appointing Student Liaisons on the Planning and Parks and Environmental Commissions. <br />OVERVIEW: <br />The New Brighton-St. Anthony School District is in it’s second year of the Youth in Leadership <br />program that places youth on a variety of civic organization boards. As part of our identified goal to <br />foster and encourage civic engagement, we have added youth as non-voting members to both our <br />Planning, and Parks & Environmental Commissions. This opportunity gives the youth the experience <br />of serving on an appointed board, learning about issues tasked to the Planning, and Parks & <br />Environmental Commissions, developing leadership skills while building their resume. The city <br />benefits by hearing from youth regarding city issues during discussion at the meetings. <br />The term of their appointments will be September 2019 through July 2020. <br />Staff recommends appointing Bethlehem Beyene as the Student Liaison to the Planning Commission <br />and Sarah Jo Carre’ as the Student Liaison to the Parks & Environmental Commission. <br />11
