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 City Manager's 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: Human Resources, Utilities, Legal, and Parks and Recreation. They also had the opportunity to job shadow various staff members in areas of interest to them.
Five (5) members of the YCC traveled to Washington, D.C., in March with City Councilors and City Staff to attend the National League of Cities (NLC) 2017 Congressional City Conference. While in Washington, they participated in conference programs, visited national monuments, experienced public transportation, and took part in activities with other Youth Councils from across the country. YCC members raised funds to help pay for their own travel expenses.
