Youth Advisory Board <br />Meeting Minutes <br />9/20/12 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> This is also called a “strong manager” system. City council is made up of <br />members from each city Ward. What Ward do YOU live in? Only people <br />within that Ward can vote for their council member. <br /> City Council’s job is to set strategy/policies for the city of Lousville <br /> City staff do the day to day work of running the city, and answer to the City <br />Manager, Malcolm Fleming, and he answers to the City Council <br /> One of the most significant things the City Council does is set the yearly <br />budget. Mayor Muckle advises YAB members to stay apprised of this <br />process. <br /> Some other important things that will come before the City Council in the <br />near future: <br />i. Comprehensive Plan <br />ii. Hwy. 36 reconstruction <br />iii. McCaslin Bridge diverging diamond project <br />iv. Building four new underpasses <br /> Mayor Muckle had three questions for the YAB members: 1) What things <br />do you care about in Louisville? 2) What are the things the city is doing <br />well? and 3) What could they do better? <br />i. David- asked about the community garden across from King <br />Soopers. Knows kids/people always talk about what vegetables <br />they are growing, and find it very rewarding to grow their won with <br />their parents. <br />ii. Joi- what happened to the plan to expand the sidewalks/patios <br />downtown? Mayor- still looking at ways to make the seasonal <br />patios seem more permanent, but will be keeping them seasonal <br />for now so that they are a special treat. <br />iii. Tyler- thinks wider sidewalks would be good, especially if they build <br />more residences around main Street in the future because then the <br />wider sidewalks would accommodate more traffic <br />iv. Bonnie- likes how Louisville keeps the “small town feel” and how <br />much open space there is. Perhaps Louisville could use something <br />th <br />like the 29 St. marketplace- would be a good place to hang out <br />and shop <br />v. Kaitlin- (Re: Main Street) likes that you can walk everywhere, but as <br />a driver it is hard. Might be better to have a place like the pearl <br />Street Mall for pedestrians downtown <br /> <br />
