Body
Action Requested:
Staff recommends a motion to Support the Pursuit of Establishing the Mayor's Youth Council as an Advisory Board or Commission.
Summary Report:
The Mayor’s Youth Council has been in effect since 2006. Attached is additional background regarding the Mayor’s Youth Council.

Staff intends to work with the Mayor’s Youth Council to establish information related to the creating this group as a more permanent board or commission.
Alternative Options:
The City Council may have further questions related to this topic.
