MEMORANDUM <br />To:St. Anthony Village City Council <br />From:Charlie Yunker, City Manager <br />Date:September 24, 2024 City Council Meeting <br />Request:Appointing Student Liaisons on the Planning and Parks and Environmental Commissions <br />BACKGROUND <br />The New Brighton-St. Anthony School District is in its seventh year of the Youth in Leadership program that <br />places youth on a variety of civic organization boards. As part of our identified goal to foster and encourage civic <br />engagement, we have added youth as non-voting members to both our Planning, and Parks & Environmental <br />Commissions. This opportunity gives the youth the experience of serving on an appointed board, learning about <br />issues tasked to the Planning, and Parks & Environmental Commissions, developing leadership skills while <br />building their resume. The city benefits by hearing from youth regarding city issues during discussion at the <br />meetings. <br />The term of appointments are September 2024 through July 2025. <br />A student has been identified to participate in the Parks & Environmental Commission but the school has not <br />been able to identify a student for Planning Commission at this time. If one becomes available, we will bring the <br />recommendation to Council. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends appointing Cece Cram as the Student Liaison to the Parks & Environmental Commission. <br />27
