City leaders propose youth council to empower local teens
During a recent government meeting, a proposal to establish a youth commission in Woodland Park was discussed, inspired by a successful model in Brighton. The initiative aims to create a youth city council that would allow local teenagers, aged 13 to 18, to provide recommendations on community issues from their perspective. This idea was brought forward by a council member who noted that the last mayor's council for youth was led by Mayor Randolph.

The proposed youth commission would not only facilitate discussions on city matters but also offer internship opportunities with city staff, fostering interest in municipal government among young residents. The council member highlighted the enthusiasm of local youth, referencing a high school student who recently participated in Girls State and expressed a newfound understanding of government processes.

In addition to the youth commission proposal, concerns were raised regarding the mobile home park near Walmart. Community members have reached out to officials about safety and code compliance issues at the site. The meeting underscored the importance of addressing these community concerns, although specific details about the mobile home park's status were not immediately available.
