Beaver City Council approves scholarship plan for Youth City Council: $50 per year participation, mayor capped at $400
Summary
Council approved a scholarship policy for the Youth City Council: $50 per year for participating members, with the youth mayor capped at $400, to be paid in the student's senior year and administered at the scholarship banquet.
The Beaver City Council approved a scholarship policy for the Youth City Council during the meeting.
Council members debated how to recognize multi‑year participation and mayoral duties. Council member Sheena moved and council member Hunter seconded a motion to award $50 per year to participating youth council members (paid during their senior year) and to cap the youth mayor’s scholarship at $400 (the mayor would not also receive the per‑year payments). The council voted in favor with no recorded opposition.
Council staff said they will document individual students’ years of service and determine eligibility at the awards banquet. Members also discussed awarding a leadership or civic-service cord from Jostens to scholarship recipients and asked staff to coordinate ordering and color selection to avoid duplication with school cords.
Ending — The council approved the amounts and instructed staff to prepare lists and logistics for the awards banquet and scholarship payments.
