In December our board visited a meeting of the Loveland Youth Commission. The meeting was very impressive to all who attended. Their commission is composed entirely of youth and they run the meeting themselves with very little input from the staff liaison. Their council liaison attends every meeting and gives a report and answers questions. It was a very efficient and engaged board. Steve proposed changing the meeting time to 4 or 5 pm. and to meet only every other month or even once per quarter. In summary the following points were agreed upon: 9 Youth Advisory Board Minutes January 7, 2009 Page 2 - youth only board (with the exception that our current adult member serve out her term) - monthly meetings from September to May starting at 7 pm - shorter terms (applicable only to new members) - September meeting would be a retreat to do our work plan for the year. - change our "year" from calendar year to school year. Lisa moved to adopt the plan and Vivian seconded it (4-0) Steve will now present it to Marty and then to the City Manager and City Council. Lisa talked about the traffic pattern around Kinard, Zach and Fossil Ridge. The parents and even the school staff at the 3 schools are in favor of a light in the area. The city says that a light is not necessary. Steve suggested that Lisa talk to Joe Olson from traffic about traffic studies done at that intersection and to HOA's in the area. The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 pm with a motion from Lisa which was seconded by Brittany.(4-0). Respectfully submitted Carol Fahring, Staff Support The next meeting will be Wednesday, February 4 at 7:00 pm at Northside Aztlan Community Center at 112 E. Willow Street.
