Members of the Hutchinson Youth City Council used their Oct. 23 meeting to reflect on the year, highlight community service projects and urge next year27s council to revive the youth fair and make the Cow Creek cleanup an annual event.
"I'm Kayla Wellington. I'm the president, like always. I just wanna thank everyone online and in person for coming and joining us today," said Kayla Wellington, council president, in opening remarks. Several members said the year included fewer events than earlier terms but still produced meaningful outreach and connections.
Multiple members cited the Cow Creek cleanup as a standout project. A council member said, "The Cow Creek cleanup, I think we should do. It should be like an annual thing. You know? Like, every year, we do a cleanup of the of Cow Creek." Members also named a meet-and-greet and community recognition as important outcomes of their work this year.
Discussion of future projects focused on several repeatable activities: returning the youth fair, organizing unhoused drives, and expanding outreach to schools. Members suggested visiting middle and elementary schools and addressing leadership classes so younger students can learn about joining the council in later years.
Council members thanked volunteers and staff who supported the council this year; side staff mentioned by name in the meeting include Esmeralda, Ruby, Heather and Mike. The members also acknowledged technical staff who manage the meeting stream and the meeting clock.
Before adjourning, members reminded the community of upcoming performances and events tied to council members, including band and choir concerts and the Hutchinson Zoo27s "Boo at the Zoo" on Oct. 25.
A motion to adjourn was moved and seconded and confirmed in the meeting; the transcript records roll-call confirmations before the chair declared the session adjourned.
