Beginning this fall, the Garretson City Council will have the input of Garretson High School students on City business and policy. Last Monday, they voted to establish a Youth Advisory Committee, which will incorporate two students into the council.
"I worked with the school and talked to a number of people about having some students take part- from government class- take part of city council meetings," said Mayor Bruce Brown during the proposal.
Two students who are "of high school age, who live, attend school, or are engaged in the City" will be chosen, nominated by the school administration and confirmed by the council. They will take part in meetings, providing youth-level input on policies, codes, plans, and practices, according to Resolution 2024-20.
They would not be voting or taking part in executive session but in many other ways, they would become a part of the council.
