Based on those discussions, it is believed that by potentially partnering with <br />non - profit organizations and LLCs who focus on developing life skills training and development for youth, that <br />some opportunities may be possible to address both of these concerns in a positive manner. We have filed a copy <br />of Youth Unemployment Challenge and Solutions — What Business Can Do Now which is referenced in the <br />attached Resolution with the Office of the City Clerk. <br />We recommend that this Resolution be sent to the Health and Public Safety Committee for review and <br />recommendation. We hope that you will join us in attempting to creatively make a positive impact for our youth <br />while also helping to beautify our city. Thank you. <br />Most sincerely, <br />Tim Scott, 1 s District Council Member <br />South Bend Common Council <br />Attachment <br />Karen L. White, Council Member at Large <br />South Bend Common Council <br />cc: Randy Wilkerson, Department of Code Enforcement Executive Director <br />
