Committee adopts technical change to Emerging Youth Achievement Advisory Council membership
Summary
The committee adopted a substitute ordinance that replaces a membership seat described as a representative of an institution of higher learning with a more flexible designation to retain a current member whose job title may change.
The Community Economic Development Committee adopted a substitute ordinance to modify membership language for the Emerging Youth Achievement Advisory Council. The ordinance replaces a requirement that a member represent “an institution of higher learning” with language allowing a “member with a role in higher learning,” giving the council flexibility to retain a valued member if their job title changes.
Alderman Perez sponsored the technical change and explained the amendment was intended to preserve the participation of Dr. Harness (identified in the discussion) because her employment title might change, and the council wished to avoid losing her institutional knowledge. Committee members described the change as technical and moved adoption; the chair announced no objections and ordered adoption.
