<br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting Date: September 14, 2021 <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 fourth 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 /> <br />The term of their appointments will be September 2021 through July 2022. <br /> <br />Staff recommends appointing Alayna Peterson as the Student Liaison to the Planning Commission and <br />Lucas Lundgren as the Student Liaison to the Parks & Environmental Commission (student liaison <br />from 2020-2021) for 2021-2022. <br />13
