Bill No. 27-19 Ordinance Amending Youth Council Ms. Aldridge, Director of Engagement and Economic Empowerment for the City of South Bend with offices on the 14th floor of the County-City Building. In front of you, you have a second substitute bill amending your Youth Council ordinance which was initiated by co-sponsor Councilmember White in 2003 along with Charlotte Pfeiffer and then amended once more in 2007. So, today we're looking to amend this ordinance once more and also invite the NRC to the table as a partner and operations partner. So, the handout that you have in front of you that is blue with three buckets there on the back also highlights what this collaboration looks like. Who is in charge of what and some of that is outlined pretty broadly in the Ordinance as well. So, those are the amendments that we'll look to change here. This program will be a year long academic program which if we get your vote today, we will put out a press release tomorrow that we have a Youth Council and invite people to start applying. Your first initial contact, and if you look in the back of your packet, you'll see I've highlighted some of the opportunities that you might see as an opportunity to join us as a mentor, which is also highlighted in the ordinance of what your role would be here. So, one of the first engagements is just swearing these youth in as Councilmembers INTEGRITY' SERVICE'ACCESSIBILITY JENNIFER M.COFFMAN - -- - BIANCA L.TIRADO - - - JOSEPH R.MOLNAR CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERIC EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 46601 I p 574.235.9221 I t 574.235.9173 I www.southbendin.gov
