I Update: On January 27, 1992, the City Council
interviewed Heidi Halverson and Jay Johnson for
appointment to the Youth Commission. Tim Clark has
also expressed interest in the adult representative
II 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
your review. I recommend that the City Council make
the youth and adult representative appointments this
Dear 4FIRST NAME4 *LAST NAME *, 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
I 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
I time commitment will be heavier in the beginning.
- to insure continuity, Commission member's terms should be
staggered according to the following schedule:

1 - 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 at

- your choices should not be afraid to share their opinions
and expertise, be good communicators but work well in
II groups.
- your may wish to look at the following areas for this

youth issues: •
II -' human services

religious community

business and labor
