<br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting Date: August 25, 2020 <br /> <br /> <br />Motion- Appointing Student Liaisons on the Planning and Parks and Environmental Commissions. <br /> <br /> <br />OVERVIEW: <br /> <br />The New Brighton-St. Anthony School District is in it’s third year of the Youth in Leadership program <br />that places youth on a variety of civic organization boards. As part of our identified goal to foster and <br />encourage civic engagement, we have added youth as non-voting members to both our Planning, and <br />Parks & Environmental Commissions. This opportunity gives the youth the experience of serving on <br />an appointed board, learning about issues tasked to the Planning, and Parks & Environmental <br />Commissions, developing leadership skills while building their resume. The city benefits by hearing <br />from youth regarding city issues during discussion at the meetings. <br /> <br />The term of their appointments will be September 2020 through July 2021. <br /> <br />Staff recommends appointing Bethlehem Beyene (2019-2020 Student Liaison) as the Student Liaison <br />to the Planning Commission and Lucas Lundgren as the Student Liaison to the Parks & Environmental <br />Commission for 2020-2021. <br />17
