SUBJ: District 112 Youth Commission Appointments
On February 24, 1992, the City Council appointed Heidi Halverson and Tim Clark as
Chanhassen's youth and adult representatives to the District 112 Youth Commission (see attached
City Council item 2 from February 24, 1992). It has come to the city's attention that both Ms.
Halverson and Mr. Clark are unable to continue serving in these capacities. The school district
has requested that the city appoint new members to fill these vacancies. The Youth
Commission's next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10, 1992. Ms. Jeanne Strauss
1 of District 112 Community Services has stated an interest in seeing these appointments made
prior to that meeting.
In reviewing the Youth Commission file, Jay Johnson was interviewed by the Council on January
27, 1992, as a potential candidate for this position. I have been unable to reconfirm Mr.
Johnson's interest in serving in this capacity, but I will do so by the evening of the 9th. In
1 regard to the youth representative, Ms. Natalie Rosinni has expressed interest in serving on the
commission. Ms. Rosinni is currently serving on Governor Carlson's Action for Children City
Council and is active in the school community. Natalie is a junior at the District 112 Middle
School and is a Chanhassen resident. I will be informing both Natalie and Jay that the City
Council will be addressing this issue at the November 9, 1992, City Council meeting. The
Council may elect to appoint one or both of the current applicants to their respective position,
1 or as an alternative, ask that the vacancies be re- advertised allowing for additional interviews
prior to making appointments.

also expressed interest in the adult representative
I appointment; however, he is unable to attend City
October 15, 1991 Council meetings on Monday nights because of conflicts
with his youth group. His resume is attached for

the youth and adult representative appointments this
Dear *FIRST NAME$ *LAST NAMEt, .evening.
DWA (2- 20 -92)
1 Hope you had an excellent summer! I don't know which of you have
begun your selection process for your two representatives (one
adult, one youth) on the Youth Commission. We are hoping that
I this process can be completed by the end of November. Beside
your local newspaper, newsletters, and cable, you may wish to
publicize these openings in the high school, the Community
I Center, the alternative school, and by contacts with your
organizations. Many of your council members and staff may know
of some likely candidate. It is certainly a good idea to
encourage these individuals to apply. When publicizing and
1 explaining these openings you will want to take a second look at
the mission, purpose and goals contained in your Letter of
Understanding. Greg Shank (368 -3688) and I. (448 -4186) will be
1 happy to field questions.
When making your selection for representatives, please keep the
I following in mind:
- your representatives should be people who can put in the
necessary time. Besides the monthly (perhaps bi- weekly to
I start) meetings, much of the work of the Commission will be
done by its committees, including some of the work a paid
staff person would have done. •It is anticipated that the
1 time commitment will be heavier in the beginning.
. - to insure continuity, Commission member's terms should be •
staggered according to the following schedule:

- Commission members, will be expected to report quarterly to •

•
- your choices should, as a whole, reflect a broad range of
opinion, experience, and socio - economic background. Your
youth representative need not be a class leader. The Nat
risk" youth may provide greater insight into needs.
- your choices should not be afraid to share their opinions 1
and expertise, be good communicators but work well in
groups.
- your may wish to look at the following areas for this
"team ", areas which would naturally be interested in
youth issues: • 1
-' human services
- law and justice
- religious community
•
- youth group volunteers
- education
- business and labor
- concerned citizens
- health community •
We hope you end up with lots of great applicants. Please feel 1
free to call Greg or myself with any questions you may have.
