IV. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. National League of Cities Recap
Members Izquierdo, Riel and Kosaka attended the NLC Conference in
Washington DC in March 2017. They each gave a brief summary of their
experience at the conference. One of the main focus areas they brought back
from the conference is how to become a stronger Junior Council. Some ideas
shared were to create a mission statement for the Junior Council, learning and
focusing on their role as a council, lobbying, and modifying the structure, such
as increasing the amount of monthly meetings to ensure they are able to fulfill
their duties.
Member Izquierdo shared that attending the NLC Conference made him realize
that Auburn has many resources for the youth community—more than other
cities around the country.
B. Future Activities – 2017 Clean Sweep
The Junior Council will be participating in Clean Sweep on April 22nd. Member
Izquierdo will coordinate registration.
C. Membership Report & Goals
The Junior Council will give two presentations to the City Council—one on the
National League of Cities Conference and the other on youth homelessness.
For the NLC presentation, those that attended the conference will present a
mission statement and they will share the idea of having Junior
Councilmembers attend regional and local meetings with members of the City
Council.
The presentation on youth homelessness will give the City Council a youth
perspective on the issue.
The Junior Council broke out into three groups—each group worked together to
create a mission statement for the Junior Council. Council Assistant Manthey
collected the mission statements and the Junior Council will brainstorm and
select the best one at the next meeting.
