Background:
The Youth City Council (YCC) met regularly during the school year under the direction of City Council Members Johnnie Parks and Scott Eudey, along with members of the Development Services Staff. The purpose of YCC is to introduce its members to municipal government. During the year, the YCC had the opportunity to hear presentations from various Departments and their Directors including: Finance, Legal, City Manager’s Office, Police and Fire, General Services, and Development Services.
Ten (10) members of the YCC traveled to Washington, D.C., in March with City Councilors and City Staff to attend the National League of Cities 2016 Congressional Cities Conference. While in Washington, they participated in NLC programs, visited national monuments, experienced public transportation, and took part in a Mock National Convention with other Youth Councils from across the country. YCC members raised funds to help pay for their own travel expenses.
