TITLE
Consider a memorandum/resolution appointing members to the Youth Advisory Commission.
SUMMARY
DATE: October 22, 2019
TO: David Ellison, Interim City Manager
FROM: Joseph Brown, Executive Director of Recreation Services
SUBJECT: Appointment of members to the Youth Advisory Commission
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City Council is responsible for making appointments to the boards and commissions. These appointments are not only once a year, but as vacancies occur. The Youth Advisory Commission (YAC) was created in 1993 to serve as a liaison to the Killeen City Council. YAC exists to assist in minimizing problems relating to youth, while encouraging positive growth and development. Members participate in social, cultural and recreational activities that are meant to empower them in a drug and alcohol free environment. YAC is comprised of (37) commissioners and an unlimited number of resource committee members, all of whom shall be students in the eighth through twelfth grade levels of the Killeen Independent School District service area. Prospective applicants were interviewed by the Mayor, two City Council members, and one Youth Commissioner. The interview process was completed no later than September 30th of the appointment year.
THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Option 1: Not appoint the recommended nominations as commissioners. This option will result in YAC not having a functional board to serve as a liaison to City Council.
Option 2: Choose to appoint the recommended nominations as Youth Advisory Commissioners for the 2019-2020 year.
CONFORMITY TO CITY POLICY:
Commission members are subject to the attendance policy and procedure adopted by the City Council, (Section 2-118, Killeen City Code). Below are the proposed commissioners for the FY19-20 year.
