The Institute for Youth, Education, and Families at the National League of Cities states that, "Nothing is more important to the health of our democracy than the active engagement of young people in representative government at the local level." Through extensive research, I have found that the following Minnesota cities have youth representation in their municipal government: Cambridge . Parks, Trails, & Recreation Commission . Did not respond to interview request. Apple Valley . Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee . Interview with Park & Rec Director Randy Johnson: My phone interview with Randy Johnson was very beneficial to my research. Mr. Johnson is a major supporter of youth involvement in municipal government. He informed me that Apply Valley has had a youth representative on the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee for about 10 years. Along with a youth representative, Apple Valley also places a senior citizen on this committee as well. That way they are sure to get opinions from the both spectrums of the community. Randy Johnson explained to me that not many youth in the city are unaware of the opportunities available to get involved with their city government. Instead of trying to market the program to the youth, he recruits students from the two local high schools. He usually contacts both the principal and the athletic director to see if they have any students in mind they would recommend or who would be interested in such a position. Once he gets a few names from them, he contacts them individually and explains the program and the application process. Once all applications are in he generally interviews about three students for the position. The City of Chanhassen .

He explains in more detail the responsibilities and what they can expect at their first meeting. He also lets them know that they commission does value their opinions and reminds them not to be intimidated by the other members of the committee. In the last 10 years, Mr. Johnson said they have only had one individual who has had issues with regularly attending meetings, other than that they have had not major issues with any of their youth representatives. My final question to Randy Johnson was if he recommended other cities to develop a program involving youth in government. "Without a doubt," he said. He firmly believes in this program and believes that the commission receives a lot of great feedback from the youth representative. Mankato . Community, Environment, Transit, Park, and other committees . Director was out of town on a family emergency. Minnetonka . Park Board . Economic Development Board . Did not respond to interview request. Bloomington . Parks, Art, & Recreation Commission . Human Rights Commission . Interview with Parks & Recreation Manager Randy Quale: Randy Quale, Bloomington Parks & Recreation Manager, is another supporter of getting youth involved in local government. He said the program has been around for at least 11 years, since he has been employed in Bloomington. He stated that it provides youth with a sense of pride to serve their community. In addition, the Parks Commission receives an insight from a youth's perspective on any issues or concerns. In Bloomington, the youth representative is a full voting member and has the same duties and responsibilities as any other commission member. The only difference is that youth serve just a one year term. Bloomington adjusts the length of the term to correspond with the The City 01 Chanhassen .

Youth representatives serve from September 1 st through August 31st. Administration Phone: 952.227,1100 Fax: 952,227,1110 When I asked him if there were any drawbacks to the program, he informed me that it does take a few years for the program to get rolling. There have been a few years where they haven't received any applications at all. However he said that in the last 5 years or so that the program has really taken off. He contributes the success to past representatives. Word has really started to spread throughout the community about the position, which has resulted in numerous representatives' friends and siblings submitting applications. I also asked him if the youth take great pride in their position, which he definitely thought they did. He added that there have never been any major issues involving the youth representative. Bloomington requires all members to attend at least 75% of meetings, otherwise they lose their seat on the commission.

He stated that a majority of the programs they offer are catering towards youth, so without a doubt they should have an opportunity to voice their opinion. He also mentioned that it will only be a matter of time before a majority of cities offer positions for youth representatives.

It can be very time consuming to develop youth positions on local commissions. In addition, the position must be posted and adequately marketed to the appropriate audience, applications reviewed, and individuals then interviewed for the position. Senior Center Phone 952.227.1125 Fax: 952.227.1110 Numerous hours and tax payer dollars could be spent on this process and conclude in disappointing results. Through my extensive research of meeting minutes, the youth representatives were absent a majority of the time. In Cambridge, the youth representative was present at only 2 of the 7 meetings. I also found that their participation at the meetings they did attend was very limited. The dialogue rarely mentioned any comments or statements made by the youth. This leads me to believe that either they were either uninterested in the discussion or perhaps ignorant on the subject matter.

Local governments, who are willing to engage youth in community leadership roles, contribute to their development as productive members of society. Involvement can be empowering for anyone, including today's youth.

Eagle Scout Service Project: Mark Jensen Project Description The project I am proposing is to take place at the Carver Beach Playground as well as the main beach of Lotus Lake. At Carver Beach Playground, I intend to replace the wood on both of the baseball benches present alongside the baseball diamond and finish the new wood in the color that is on the existing benches. Along with the wood, I also would like to replace the bolts that are fastening the wood to the metal supports. I do not plan on replacing the current metal supports themselves, simply the parts I have stated above. Along with the benches at the playground, I would like to plant a series of trees along the south side of the park up from Carver Beach Road. I plan to plant three on the south side of the path and four on the north side of the path. I would also like to put mulch and a circular boarder around the base of each individual tree. At the Lotus Lake beach, I am proposing a handrail that will run along the full 46' 10" length of the existing stairway on the right side (facing down towards the lake). Along the left side (facing down towards the lake) of the stairway, I plan on planting twenty five hostas. Beneficiary of the project City of Chanhassen 7700 Market Blvd. Chanhassen 952-227-1110 MN 55317 Ways in which my project will benefit the city The trees at the park will provide shade and enhance the beauty of the park. The refinished benches will be more enjoyable to use and the handrail at Carver Beach will make the stairway safer for those who use it. I have previously discussed my project ideas with: Mr. Todd Hoffman 7-10-07 Park & Recreation Director 952-227-1129 Mr. Todd Gerhardt 7-10-07 City Manager 952-227-1119 Project Details Present condition The baseball benches at Carver Beach Park are quite worn and there is hardly any finish on the wood surfaces. There are also signs of decay and wear in the wood as seen through several holes and chips. The areas I am proposing to plant trees are currently bare and the new trees would compliment those already in existence that surround these areas. Finally, the handrail at the beach is presently non existent and its installment would make the walkway easier to travel down. Method For the benches, my plan is to remove the boards and bolts that are attached to the metal supports. These will be replaced with new, refinished boards that will be the same color as the present boards. New nuts and bolts will be used as well to secure the boards. The metal supports themselves will not be replaced. The trees would be planted along the south side of the park up from Carver Beach Road. I plan to plant three on the south side of the path and four on the north side of the path. I would also like to put mulch with edging in a circle around the base of each individual tree. The hand railing will consist offive vertical wooden 4x4 boards placed at roughly 10' intervals beginning with the first step and extending down to the last step. These vertical boards will be secured in place by digging 4' holes at each 10' interval as well as using two lag screws to connect the wood to the stairway itself. After the 4x4' s are secured with these lag screws, the holes will be refilled with dirt. After these five vertical sections have been secured in place, four 2x4x12' boards will be laid across the top. The vertical sections will have been previously cut to the appropriate angle in conjunction with the slope of the hill to insure that the top part of the railing sits at the proper slope. These 2x4x12' boards being laid on top will then be secured to the five vertical boards by two screws per vertical board. As a final part of the stairway, I also plan on planting twenty five hostas on the opposite side of the railing.

I have contacted the Chanhassen Lions club and they are willing to donate my hostas. I will also be receiving most of my mulch from a friend. I am planning on receiving my lumber, carriage bolts, and trees from Menards. I hope to obtain the rest of my materials from Ace Hardware and the majority of the tools from my troop and dad. Whatever I cannot get donated; I would greatly appreciate any funds from the City of Chanhassen. Project helpers Members of scout troop 424 of Excelsior, Minnesota Safety hazards and prevention Circular saw- will be done by an adult or scout who has been properly instructed in its handling. Operator will wear safety glasses to prevent injury. Handrail construction- scouts will be told how to properly use the post hole digger and wear work gloves to prevent blisters. If blisters or other injuries do occur, a first aid kit will be present. Scouts are to wear sturdy shoes, so they do not slip on the steps or hill. Those using the drill to fasten the wood will have the proper knowledge to do so. Tree planting: Gloves will be worn to prevent slivers from the mulch and to help keep the hands safe. Work Site The work will be done at the Carver Beach playground and at Carver Beach. The boards for the handrail will be cut at my home, before being moved to the Carver Beach site. Recruiting Volunteers I will provide a sign up sheet at the 6.16.08 meeting and ask for help from the members of my troop as well as three adults from the troop each day. My dad will also be present each day to supervise the work.
