Youth Advisory Board Agenda Jan. 5th Page 2 of 3 a. Ideas to make the project work right: i. Brought up advertising online through forums such as facebook and instagram, also advertising through dog parks, animal shelters, and more. ii. Make incentives for people to participate in the Pet Mayor through gift cards, etc, alongside incentives for voting. iii. Doing something in specifically dog shelters to communicate dog boarding services such as Dog Tag behind Target through flyers, advertisements, etc. iv. For voter registration, allow littler kids to learn from student volunteers about voting systems and why it's important. V. In order to join the Pet Mayor race, the pet might need either a social media presence or a proper election video. vi. Word as an incentive so the Pet Mayor position seems wanted. vii. Pets must be comfortable with being in public, and as such, maybe make exclusions to allow other pets into the race. viii. Pet Mayor must be clearly specified and incentives should be further defined. e.j. at Touch a Truck, leading the Pet Parade, etc. ix. Advertising should be paired with charity and donation options. X. Have the Pet Mayor choose which charity they would want to donate to. xi. Focus on teen involvement through social media and other facets to avoid an overly -young audience and allow the pet mayor idea to be more inclusive in general. xii. Ballots and such could be handled virtually. xiii. If there's a tie or a top ballot, then have them display posters and possibly do a separate vote. xiv. Consider the fact that the motivation should be centered around uplifting spirits. xv. Establish a specific area for the voting ballots to take place. xvi. Promote other animal -related programs within the city. 3. Consider logistics like who can enter, who can vote, how we will collect and vet nominees, how we will collect and tabulate votes, our timeline, best ways to promote, etc. a. Who can enter? i. Must be not super aggressive, good with other pets, must be alive, no aquatic animals, must be able to attend specific dates, no age limit, can't say who cannot enter but the owner should be aware of the limits of their pets. b. Who can vote/Timeline? i. Every Louisville Citizen before and after the Marshal Fire, 1 st graders and up. Deadline is the middle of may, maybe need more meetings, pets must be in by March. End of April would be a voting bracket system to vet nominees. c. How will we collect and vet nominees?
