L <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • S1NC N ; <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />AGENDA ITEM 11 <br />SUBJECT: <br />DATE: <br />YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD ANNUAL REPORT <br />APRIL 25, 2017 <br />PRESENTED BY: YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD <br />1. LIST HIGHLIGHTS AND SUCCESSES OF THE PAST YEAR: <br />Last year, the Youth Advisory Board's goal was to get people outside <br />exploring Louisville on foot or by bike. YAB sought specifically to tell people <br />about Louisville's trails at the Trek the Trails event last June. <br />This year, the YAB has gone back to the broader goal of encouraging <br />people to explore the city through our Walkability project. We successfully <br />partnered with the Planning Dept. using a program called Walk Your City, <br />and are proud of the work we've done for this project. <br />Members have participated in several very successful volunteer events, <br />such as working at a soup kitchen, and assisting Community Food Share's <br />food drives. <br />Members have learned a great deal about local government by sitting in on <br />the meetings of other boards and commissions. <br />2. LIST PLANS/GOALS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS: <br />YAB will continue work toward our goal of encouraging community members <br />to explore Louisville on foot with the Walkability project. The Walk Your City <br />signs will be posted around town during patio season (May -October). <br />Members will work to create more awareness of the Youth Advisory Board. <br />YAB members will continue to help the community through volunteer work. <br />YAB will be the voice of the youth to City Council. <br />Members will learn about local government. <br />We will interact with a diverse group of youth in the community while <br />building leadership skills. <br />3. IN WHAT AREAS DO YOU NEED CITY COUNCIL INPUT/FEEDBACK? <br />YAB is satisfied with the input, and thank their City Council liaison, Jay Keany, <br />for his assistance. <br />4. DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE CITY COUNCIL? <br />What do you believe would be a good project for the YAB? <br />Will you try out our Walk Your City signs and help spread the word about them? <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Discussion <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1.
