City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 9, 2024 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD 2023-2024 ANNUAL REPORT <br />Members of the Youth Advisory Board reviewed their work over the past year <br />highlighting their Pet Mayor campaign and the upcoming environmental themed <br />scavenger hunt that will take place during Earth Week. <br />Public comments <br />Mary Van Zale, Hazel's mom, stated serving on the board has been a great experience <br />for their family. <br />Councilmembers thanked the members of the YAB for their service and for the great <br />projects they do each year. <br />Mayor Leh gave out certificates of appreciation to the board members whose terms are <br />ending this year. <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION — WARD MEETING PROCESS <br />Deputy City Manager Fox stated ward meetings are an opportunity for Councilmembers <br />to engage with their constituencies and staff is requesting guidance on approaches for <br />the future as there has been a renewed interest in having meetings and staff would like <br />a consistent approach for them. <br />Staff is recommending city -sponsored ward meetings, each individual ward and a <br />mayor's town meeting, be held twice per year. Councilmembers could have additional <br />meetings but they would not be staff supported. City -sponsored meetings would include <br />advertising of the meetings in City publications, coordination of room reservations, and <br />staff support. <br />Members discussed and accepted the proposal for two staff -supported meetings per <br />year, not spending any additional funds on advertising but rather using already available <br />resources, and an understanding that additional meetings will be advertised by staff <br />only if the schedule allows. <br />ADJOURN <br />Members adjourned at 7.05 pm. <br />Christ p er M. Leh, Mayor <br />Meredyth Muth, City Clerk <br />
